As the Earth rotates on its axis, the Sun only shines on the side of the Earth that it is facing. This means:
it is daytime for the parts of the Earth that have the Sun shining on them
it is night-time for the parts of the Earth that have the Sun shining on them

What is the difference between rotation and revolution?
Rotation is the spin of the Earth. Revolution is the orbit of the Earth around the sun.
Revolution is the spin of the Earth. Rotation is the orbit of the Earth around the sun.

Spring
Summer
Winter
Fall
What season is it in Position A in the Northern Hemisphere?
Spring
Summer
Fall
Winter
Why does the area around the equator stay the same temperature year-round and consequently no seasons?
It tilts towards the sun in summer, so has longer hours of daylight.
It receives the same amount of direct sunlight year-round
Its days are more than 18 hours long year-round
The equator rotates slower than the poles
Which location has the greatest number of hours of daylight?
A
B
C
D
E
Does each hemisphere experience the same season at the same time?
Yes; they are all part of Earth and so therefore are the same distance from the sun
Yes; its just that the southern hemisphere's seasons are less extreme
No; each hemisphere is not tilted towards/away the sun at the same time
No; the sun doesn't have enough energy to be able to heat up the entire planet to the same temperature year round
Mars' tilt is 25 degrees. This means it's seasons, compared to Earth are
More extreme; the poles are more-directly pointed towards the sun, meaning higher temps
More extreme; a greater tilt means that there are points in its orbit where Mars is closer to the sun
Less extreme; a greater tilt means that the sun shines most intensely on its equator, making seasons mild
Less extreme; Mars is farther away from the sun. Its tilt has nothing to do with its seasons
Select 2 ways that the sun increases Earth's temperature
Longer path means the sun is out longer, and more time to heat up the Earth
The sun being more direct focuses more of the sun rays in one area, making the area warmer
A shorter path allows the sun to rise and set quickly, forcing it to heat Earth up quickly
When the Earth is tilted away from the sun, it covers more area, which spreads heat out and makes Earth warmer
