Examine the graphs. The locations of Earth during the year is shown with four positions labels 1-4. The graph show shows the average daylight lengths in the Northern Hemisphere. How does the length of daylight change from position 1 to position 3 in the Northern Hemisphere, and what causes this change.

Change: increase, then decrease Cause: The amount of direct sunlight on the Northern Hemisphere changes as the Earth revolves around the Sun.

Change: Increase; then decrease Cause: the tilt of the Earth changes as it rotates.

Change: decrease, then increase Cause The amount of direct sunlight on the Northern Hemisphere changes as Earth revolves around the Sun.

Change: decrease, then increase Cause: The tilt of Earth changes as it rotates.

Model 1: Earth allows half the sunlight to reach the Moon.

Model 1: Earth allows most of the sunlight to reach the Moon.

Model 2: Earth blocks a small amount of sunlight from reaching the Moon.

The diagram shows that the phase of the Moon on two different days in the same year is the same even though the position of the Moon in its orbit around Earth is different. Why can the same phase of the Moon occur at two different places in its orbit?

The position of Earth in its orbit around the Sun changes, causing the direction of sunlight hitting the Moon's surface to change.

The direction that the Earth rotates on its axis changes, causing a different side of Earth to face the Moon each month.

The tilt of the Moon on its axis changes, causing the direction that light travels from the Moon to Earth to change.

The speed of the Moon orbiting around Earth changes, causing the position of the Moon to be different each month.
