Weather, Seasons, Rotation

What causes the change in seasons on Earth?

• The distance between the Earth and Mars

• Axial tilt and orbit around the sun

• The movement of the tides in the oceans

• The rotation of the moon around the Earth

How does the Earth's tilt affect the length of day and night?

• The Earth's tilt causes the length of day and night to remain constant throughout the year.

• The Earth's tilt only affects the length of day and night during the summer months.

• The Earth's tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight.

• The Earth's tilt has no effect on the length of day and night.

What is the difference between weather and climate?

• Weather is short-term, climate is long-term

• Weather is hot, climate is cold

• Weather is predictable, climate is unpredictable

• Weather is related to astronomy, climate is related to geology

How does the position of the Earth relative to the Sun affect the weather?

• It causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

• It causes seasons and variations in temperature.

• It has no effect on the weather.

• It causes the Earth to move closer to the Sun.

What is an eclipse?

• The phase of the moon when it is closest to the Earth

• The total or partial obscuring of one celestial body by another.

• The movement of a planet into the shadow of another celestial body

• The alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth

What are the two types of eclipses?

• Solar eclipse and Planetary eclipse

• Sun eclipse and Earth eclipse

• Solar eclipse and lunar eclipse

• Day eclipse and Night eclipse

How does a solar eclipse occur?

• A solar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking the moon's light and casting a shadow on the moon.

• A solar eclipse is caused by the alignment of the planets, creating a temporary darkness on Earth.

• The moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sun's light and casting a shadow on the Earth.

• A lunar eclipse is when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, making the Moon appear brighter than usual.

What are the effects of an eclipse on the Earth's atmosphere?

• Increase in humidity and wind speed

• No impact on the atmosphere

• Decrease in cloud cover and precipitation

• Changes in temperature, radiation, and air pressure

How do eclipses impact animal behavior?

• Animals may start flying in circles

• Animals may start communicating with each other more

• Animals may exhibit changes in behavior, such as becoming more active or seeking shelter.

• Eclipses have no impact on animal behavior
