Answers
Answer:
(a)The earth moves two ways. It spins and it moves around the sun. The spinning of the earth is called rotation. ... It takes a little over 365 days, or one year, for the earth to make one full revolution around the sun.
(b)Seasons are caused by the Earth's revolution around the Sun, as well as the tilt of the Earth on its axis. The hemisphere receiving the most direct sunlight experiences spring and summer, while the other experiences autumn and winter. ... During the cooler half, the Sun's rays aren't as strong and it's lower in the sky.
(c)The day that the Earth's North Pole is tilted closest to the sun is called the summer solstice. ... It is also the day that the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky. The winter solstice, or the shortest day of the year, happens when the Earth's North Pole is tilted farthest from the Sun.
