Luis created a clay model of earth and the sun to show how earth rotates, Luis wants to use a toothpick to represent earths axis of rotation
Where should he put the toothpick
A - horizontally through earth in the direction earth is traveling
B - vertically through the center of earth slightly to the side of each pole
C - horizontally through earth from one side of the equated to the other side
D - diagonally. Across. Earth Galway between the equator and the two poles
Its B
Its c im pretty sure
In this case, Luis should put the toothpick option B - vertically through the center of the earth slightly to the side of each pole.
To understand why, let's go over the options:
A - Horizontally through Earth in the direction Earth is traveling: Earth's rotation axis is not aligned with the direction Earth is traveling around the Sun. This option wouldn't accurately represent Earth's rotation.
B - Vertically through the center of Earth slightly to the side of each pole: Earth's rotation axis is tilted with respect to its orbit around the Sun. The toothpick should be inserted vertically through the center of the Earth, parallel to the axis of rotation. This alignment accurately represents how the Earth's axis is tilted in relation to the Sun.
C - Horizontally through Earth from one side of the equator to the other side: This option would not accurately represent the axis of rotation because the toothpick would be aligned with the Equator rather than the axis of rotation.
D - Diagonally across Earth between the equator and the two poles: Similarly to option C, this option would not accurately represent the axis of rotation because the toothpick would not be aligned with the axis of rotation.
By inserting the toothpick vertically through the center of the Earth slightly to the side of each pole, Luis would successfully represent Earth's axis of rotation.
