Seasons

What is the role of the sun in determining the seasons?

• The sun's position relative to the Earth affects the amount of sunlight and heat received, which determines the seasons.

• The sun's brightness remains constant throughout the year, so it does not affect the seasons.

• The sun's gravitational pull causes the Earth to tilt, which has no effect on the seasons.

• The sun's energy is equally distributed across the Earth, leading to uniform seasons everywhere.

How does the Earth's orbit affect the length of seasons?

• The Earth's orbit has no effect on the length of seasons.

• The elliptical shape of Earth's orbit can cause slight variations in the length of seasons.
