What Causes Seasons?
The diagram above shows the start of each season in the Northern Hemisphere. June represents Summer, March represents Spring, December represents Winter and September represents Fall. The chart below represents the temperature in Atlanta, GA throughout the year.
Question: What causes seasons?
The tilt of the Earth's axis is what causes seasons. As the Earth orbits around the Sun, its axis remains tilted at approximately 23.5 degrees. During different parts of the year, different parts of the Earth receive different amounts of sunlight due to this tilt.
In the Northern Hemisphere, when it is summer, the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun, resulting in longer days and more direct sunlight. This leads to warmer temperatures. In contrast, during winter, the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun, resulting in shorter days and less direct sunlight, leading to colder temperatures.
The changing of seasons is a result of the Earth's tilt and its orbit around the Sun.
Using the two images, what is the effect on temperature in Atlanta, GA as the Earth revolves around the sun?

All of the objects in earth's sky are in motion. The sun, moon and earth all rotate, or spin, around their own axes. The earth revolves, or moves around, the sun while the moon revolves around the earth. The length of rotations and revolutions vary. One revolution of the earth around the sun takes one year. One revolution of the moon around the earth takes approximately 28 days. The length of one rotation of the moon is the same as the length of one revoluation of the moon and that is why we only see one side of the moon!(5 points)
