What would happen to the planets' trajectory if the Sun suddenly disappeared?

They would move in a straight line.

They would spiral out of the solar system.

They would move towards the Moon.

What causes the change in seasons on Earth?

The angle at which sunlight strikes different parts of Earth

The distance between Earth and the Sun

The speed at which Earth moves through space

The rotation of the Sun around Earth

Why are temperatures warmer in the Southern Hemisphere when it is angled toward the Sun?

Because the sunlight is more concentrated.

Because the sunlight is less concentrated.

Because the Southern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun.

Because the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun.

Why are the seasons in the Northern and Southern hemispheres always opposite?

Because the Earth's axis always points in the same direction

Because the Earth's axis is perpendicular to its orbit

Because the Northern and Southern hemispheres do not receive sunlight

Because the Earth's axis changes direction throughout the year

What makes temperatures mild during spring and autumn in both hemispheres?

The hemispheres receive equal warmth from sunlight

The hemispheres are closer to the sun

The hemispheres receive no sunlight

The tilt of the Earth's axis changes

Why don't you feel the movement of Earth as it revolves and rotates?

Because you are moving at the same speed as the Earth

Because the Earth's movement is too slow to be felt

Because the Earth does not actually move

Because you are not sensitive to such movements

What would be the length of day and night if Earth's axis was not tilted?

Day and night would each be 12 hours long

Day and night would each be 10 hours long

Day and night would each be 24 hours long

Day and night would vary depending on the season

What effect does the tilt of Earth's axis have on the length of day and night?

It causes there to be more hours of daylight and fewer hours of night during the summer

It causes day and night to be of equal length

It has no effect on the length of day and night

It causes the Earth to rotate faster
