What causes tides on Earth?
the gravitational pull of the sun
the gravitational pull of the Earth
the gravitational pull of the sun and moon
the gravitational pull of celestial bodies
What causes the earth to have seasons?
its orbit
its rotation
its axis
its tilt
In the diagram, what season is it in the northern hemisphere? How do you know?
Summer because the sun is hotter between June and August making the northern hemisphere warmer.
Summer because the cold atmosphere migrates to the southern hemisphere making the north warmer.
Summer because the northern hemisphere is receiving more direct sunlight due to the Earth's tilt.
Summer because the Earth is closer to the sun making the north have warm temperatures

about half a month
about 2 days
Position 5 is what moon phase?
Waxing Gibbous
Waning Gibbous
Waxing Crescent
Waning Crescent
Position 8 is what moon phase?
