The model shows the orbit of Earth over the course of a year.

A student claims that part of the model shows time of the year when the Northern Hemisphere experiences spring as the Southern Hemisphere experiences fall. What observation from the model supports the student's claim?

• The Northern and SouthernHemisphere are tilted toward the Sun at position 4

• The Southern Hemisphere receives more sunlight than the Northern Hemisphere at position 2

• The Northern and Southern Hemispheres receive similar sunlight at position 3

• The Northern Hemisphere receives more sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere at position 1.

In the areas closest to the equator, the amount and intensity of the sunlight are consistent throughout the year. How do the lengths of a day and a night compare in theses areas?

• The length of a day is longer than a night in the summer and shorter than a night in the winter

• The length of a day is longer than a night all year long.

• The length of a day is longer than a night in the winter and shorter than than a night in the summer

• the lengths of a day and a night are almost equal all year long.
