What causes the different seasons on Earth? A.The way heat energy reflects off of Earth because of the angle at which it hits B.
The way that Earth gets closer and farther from the sun throughout the year C.The fact that Earth rotates around its axis D.The fact that Earth goes along an ecliptic PLS HELP
The answer is A. The way heat energy reflects off of Earth because of the angle at which it hits.
Explanation:
The Earth has an axial tilt that causes different areas of the Earth to point toward the sun at different areas along its orbit. As one area point towards the sun, more heat energy reflects off the surface causing warmer seasons, while the other area points away and reflects less heat energy off the surface, causing colder seasons.
The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis away or toward the sun as it travels through its year-long path around the sun. The Earth has a tilt of 23.5 degrees relative to the "ecliptic plane"
