In the diagram above, Earth is in four different positions relative to the sun: Position X, Position Y, Position Z and Position W. In which position would Georgia be experiencing Fall? Be careful to notice the direciton of the arrows that represent Earth's revolution.

In the diagram above, Georgia would be experiencing Fall in Position Y
To determine in which position Georgia would be experiencing fall, we need to consider the tilt of Earth's axis. During fall in the northern hemisphere, the axis is tilted away from the sun, causing cooler temperatures.
Looking at the diagram, we can see that the arrows representing Earth's revolution are pointing counterclockwise. This means that as Earth moves around the sun, the northern hemisphere experiences fall when it is tilted away from the sun.
Based on this, we can determine that Georgia would be experiencing fall in Position X.
