Length of a year on Venus is twice as long as ayear on Earth
Length of year on Venus is nearly ten times as long as Earth
Length of a year on Venus is shorter than a year on Earth
Length of a year on Venus is the same as a year on Earth
10
Explain why different latitudes on Earth receive different amounts of solar energy?
Earth turns more quickly at poles than it does at equator
Energy from the Sun is lost while travelling through space.
Suns rays strike more directly over the equator than atpoles
The Sun is hotter in the summer than the winter.
11
