Earth and Moon test

What is the main reason why the length of day and night change throughout the year?

• The Earth moves closer to the sun during certain months

• The Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbit around the sun

• The moon's gravity affects the rotation of the Earth

• The sun's rays become stronger in the summer

How does the Earth's orbit with its consistent tilt affect seasonal changes?

• It causes the Earth to move closer to the sun in the summer

• It results in the Earth receiving more sunlight during certain months

• It causes the Earth's axis to shift, changing the tilt of the planet

• It makes the days longer and the nights shorter in the winter

Which statement best explains why we experience different seasons on Earth?

• The distance between the Earth and the sun changes throughout the year

• The sun's rays hit the Earth at different angles during different times of the year

• The Earth's rotation speed varies depending on the season

• The moon's gravitational pull affects the Earth's axial tilt

What is the relationship between the Earth's tilt and the length of daylight hours?

• The Earth's tilt affects the intensity of sunlight

• The Earth's tilt determines the length of daylight hours

• The Earth's tilt causes the Earth to spin faster or slower

• The Earth's tilt has no effect on the length of daylight hours
