Animation shows a complete revolution of the Earth around the sun. What happens during this time? (1 point)
O Four seasons occur on Earth.
Day turns to night.
O Earth experiences
a complete day. The moon makes one complete phase change.
All three options listed occur during a complete revolution of the Earth around the sun:
- Four seasons occur on Earth: The Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits the sun causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight, leading to the changing of seasons throughout the year.
- Day turns to night: As the Earth rotates on its axis, different parts of the Earth are exposed to sunlight while others are in darkness, resulting in day and night.
- Earth experiences a complete day: The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes one complete cycle of day and night, which takes approximately 24 hours.
However, the statement regarding the moon making one complete phase change is not necessarily true during a complete revolution of the Earth around the sun. The moon has its own orbit around the Earth and goes through its phases independently of the Earth's revolution around the sun. The moon's phases depend on its position relative to the sun and Earth.
