2. Summer occurs on the hemisphere of Earth that is tilted toward the sun.
To understand why summer occurs on the hemisphere of Earth that is tilted toward the sun, we need to consider the concept of the Earth's axial tilt. The Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbit around the sun. This tilt is approximately 23.5 degrees. As the Earth orbits the sun, different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
During summer, the hemisphere of the Earth that is tilted toward the sun receives more direct sunlight, resulting in longer and warmer days. This increased exposure to sunlight leads to higher temperatures and the characteristic warm weather associated with summer.
3. Earth has a(n) north and south magnetic pole, just as a bar magnet has opposite magnetic poles at each of its ends.
To understand Earth's magnetic poles, we need to know that Earth acts like a giant bar magnet with its own magnetic field. Like a regular magnet, Earth has opposite magnetic poles at each of its ends.
The north magnetic pole is located near the geographic North Pole, while the south magnetic pole is located near the geographic South Pole. Magnetic compasses point toward the magnetic North Pole.
4. Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from a line drawn perpendicular to the plane of its orbit.
To understand the tilt of Earth's axis, we need to visualize the orbit of Earth around the sun. If we draw a line perpendicular to the plane of Earth's orbit, the axis of the Earth is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees from this line.
This tilt is what causes the changing of seasons as different hemispheres receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. When one hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it experiences summer, while the other hemisphere is tilted away and experiences winter. The tilt of Earth's axis is responsible for the variation in climate and the seasons we experience.
