Geoscience Processes Review Game

The video explains how the Sun influences life on Earth, affecting day and night cycles, seasons, and even the calendar. Day and night result from Earth's rotation, while seasons depend on Earth's position relative to the Sun. The poles remain cold due to limited sunlight, whereas the equator experiences consistent warmth. The calendar year is based on Earth's revolution around the Sun, highlighting the Sun's central role in shaping life and time on Earth.
