If you wanted to make all days on Earth the same length, what would you have to do?

Keep the Earth from tilting on its axis.

Increase the speed of the Earth’s rotation.

Tilt the Northern Hemisphere all the way toward the Sun.

Tilt the Southern Hemisphere all the way toward the Sun.

If Earth were not tilted on its axis, what change would we experience?

Temperatures would be constant year round.

Day length would be less than 24 hours.

Both sides of the moon would be visible.

The length of the year would be more than 365 days.

Check out the image of Earth. The Northern Hemisphere is found above the equator (Points A and B) and the Southern Hemisphere is located below the equator (Points C and D). Here it is warmer in summer (C) than in winter (A), because in summer

Point C gets more direct sunlight.

the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun.

The phases of the Moon are caused by...
