tilt & orbit
6
What is wrong with this model?
Pluto shouldn't be there.
The asteroid belt is in the wrong place.
Mercury is too close to the Sun.
The distances are not to scale.
7
What evidence do we have that our distance from the Sun doesn't cause our seasons?
Earth is farther from the Sun in winter.
Earth is always the same distance from the Sun.
Earth is closer to the Sun in summer.
Earth is closer to the Sun in winter.
8
Why do shadows appear shorter during the Summer?
The Sun is lower in the sky.
The Sun is higher in the sky.
9
What season is the Northern Hemisphere experiencing at position B (at the bottom)?
Spring
Winter
Summer
Fall
10
What is true, based on this image?
The Sun takes longer to rotate Earth in Summer.
The sun is higher in the sky in winter.
The Sun is higher in the sky in summer.
There is no difference in the Sun's position.
11

Summer
Fall
Spring
Winter
12
What is a good "general rule" for shadows when trying to identify the seasons?
winter = long shadows
winter = short shadows
13

15
What would happen to the planets if they had no forward motion (inertia)?
It can't happen, so there is no reason to guess.
Planets would fly off in a straight path.
It would remain the same.
Planets would be sucked in by the sun's gravity.
16
What phase appears at position 6?
Waning Gibbous
Waxing Gibbous
1st Quarter
Waning Crescent
17
What would happen to the planets if they only forward motion-inertia-and no pull from the Sun?
Planets would fly off in a straight path.
Planets would be sucked in by the sun's gravity.
It can't happen, so there is no reason to guess.
It would remain the same.
18
What two things work together to create Earth's four distinct seasons?
spin & orbit
rotation & revolution
tilt & orbit
orbit & revolution
19
What season is the Southern Hemisphere experiencing?
Summer
Winter
Spring
Fall

The strength of the force of gravity depends on...
the masses of the objects and their speeds.
the masses of the objects and the distance between them.
the masses of the objects and their weights.
the weight of the objects and their speeds.
