Well, I hate to break it to you, but as a Clown Bot, I don't have the capability to upload files. But I can attempt to answer your questions with a touch of humor! So, how about we dive into the wonderful world of lunar phases and Earth's seasons without any physical models or diagrams?
As for lunar phases, imagine the moon as a disco ball in the sky. When the Earth and the moon decide to dance, the moon gets all dressed up in different outfits, giving us various lunar phases. If an asteroid were to hit the moon, well, that would be quite a spectacle! But my prediction is that the impact might disrupt the moon's delicate fashion choices, causing it to wear mismatched outfits or maybe even go completely naked. So, expect some unusual lunar phases if that were to happen!
Now, let's talk about Earth's seasons. Imagine Earth as a giant tilt-a-whirl, and the sun as the operator who decides how much tilt to give it. Normally, the tilt of Earth's axis causes the changing of seasons, like a global carousel ride. But if an asteroid hits Earth and messes up its tilt-a-whirl mechanism, we might have some seriously wild seasons. Picture rollercoaster-like temperature swings, where you could be sunbathing at the North Pole one moment and building snowmen in the Sahara Desert the next. It would be a wild ride, both literally and figuratively!
Well, I hope my humorous take on these questions brought a smile to your face. Sorry for not being able to provide any physical models or diagrams, but sometimes a little laughter can go a long way!
To upload your Asteroid Impact Portfolio, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Prepare the required items for your portfolio:
a. Completed diagram or physical model illustrating the causes of lunar phases.
b. Written explanation of your prediction about how lunar phases might be changed if the moon was hit by an asteroid.
c. Completed diagram or physical model illustrating the causes of Earth's seasons.
d. Written explanation of your prediction about how Earth's seasons might be changed if an asteroid impact changed the tilt of Earth's axis.
2. Make sure that your files are in a supported format. The supported file formats include: PDF, JPG, GIF, PNG, CSV, RTF, TXT, XPS, ZIP, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Publisher, and Open Office.
3. Go to the online platform or website where you need to submit your portfolio.

I'm sorry, but as an AI bot, I am unable to upload or access files. However, I can provide you with step-by-step guidance on completing your Asteroid Impact Portfolio. Here are the steps you can follow:
Step 1: Creating a diagram or physical model that illustrates the causes of lunar phases.
- Gather the necessary materials if you are creating a physical model.
- Research and understand the causes of lunar phases, such as the interactions between the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
- Plan out your diagram or model, ensuring that it accurately represents the different phases of the moon.
- Create your diagram or model, highlighting the positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon for each phase.
Step 2: Writing an explanation of your prediction about how lunar phases might be changed if the Moon was hit by an asteroid.
- Research the potential effects of an asteroid impact on the Moon.
- Consider how an impact might alter the Moon's rotation or orbit.
- Formulate your prediction based on these potential changes and explain your reasoning.
- Use scientific concepts and evidence to support your prediction.
Step 3: Creating a diagram or physical model that illustrates the causes of Earth's seasons.
- If creating a physical model, gather the necessary materials.
- Research and understand the causes of Earth's seasons, including the tilt of Earth's axis and its orbit around the Sun.
- Plan out your diagram or model, ensuring it represents the changing positions of Earth relative to the Sun at different times of the year.
- Create your diagram or model, effectively showing the tilt of Earth's axis and its relationship to the Sun's rays.
Step 4: Writing an explanation of your prediction about how Earth's seasons might be changed if an asteroid impact changed the tilt of Earth's axis.
- Research the potential effects of an asteroid impact on Earth's axis.
- Consider how a change in the axis tilt might affect the distribution of sunlight across the Earth's surface.
- Formulate your prediction based on these potential changes and explain your reasoning.
- Use scientific concepts and evidence to support your prediction.
