What is the reason that we have experience different seasons?

The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted

The gas giant planets are:

Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter

We experience day and night because:

the Earth revolves around the Sun

Geocentric model by Claudius Ptolemy is described as having:

the Earth in the centre of the Universe

A total eclipse of the Sun cannot be seen everywhere on Earth at the same time because:

the Moon is small and only blocks out a tiny bit of the Sun

The reason southern Australia experiences the seasons in roughly equal proportions is:

tilt of Earth's axis towards the Sun changes over the year

Tides in the Earth's oceans are the result of:

the gravitational pull of the Moon

Planets in our solar system first began forming from:

A swirling cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula

Earthquakes come from:

Explosive slippage causing tectonic plates to suddenly move

Answers

1
What is the reason that we have experience different seasons?
The sun moves positions during our orbit
The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted
The moon is aligned directly between the sun and the Earth
The moon goes through different phases
2
Terrestrial planets:
are all close to the Sun
all have an atmosphere
orbit in the same direction as Earth
are like Earth in composition and size
3
The gas giant planets are:
Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter
Jupiter, Saturn and Venus
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn
all of the planets from Jupiter outward
4
We experience day and night because:
the Earth revolves around the Sun
the Earth can be divided into two hemispheres
the axis of the Earth is tilted to the Sun
the Earth spins on its axis from west to east
5
Geocentric model by Claudius Ptolemy is described as having:
the Earth in the centre of the Universe
the moon orbiting the Sun
the stars align into an outline of himself
the Earth and planets revolving around the Sun
6
A total eclipse of the Sun cannot be seen everywhere on Earth at the same time because:
the Moon is small and only blocks out a tiny bit of the Sun
the Sun comes between the Moon and the Earth
the Earth spins so quickly faster than the eye can see
only one side of the Earth is in daylight at a time
7
The reason southern Australia experiences the seasons in roughly equal proportions is:
tilt of Earth's axis towards the Sun changes over the year
the fact that Earth's orbit is slightly oval shaped
tilt of Earth's axis has four seasonal phases
southern Australia is almost on the equator
8
Tides in the Earth's oceans are the result of:
the gravitational pull of the Sun
all of the above
the gravitational pull of the Moon
the rotation of the Earth on its axis
9
Planets in our solar system first began forming from:
A swirling cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula
The rings of Saturn
Proto-planets
Planetesimals
10
In a lunar eclipse:
The Moon passes directly behind the Earth
All of the above
The Moon receives no sunlight
The Moon goes dark
11
The moon appears to change shape over the month. We call these various shapes:
quarters
eclipses
phases
crescents
12
Earthquakes come from:
Explosive slippage causing tectonic plates to suddenly move
Molten rock from the mantle squeezing through the surface
Convection currents slowly stir the molten rock
A large seismic wave from the oceans
