<span>February 29 is a date that usually occurs every four years, and is called a leap day. This day is added to the calender in leap years as a measure, because the earth doesnt orbit around the sun in exactly 365 days (1 year). The gregorian calendar is a modification of the julian calender first used by the romans. </span>

Give 4 effects of the revolution of earth. Compare equinox and solstice with three examples. Explain three reasons that make sum
Maurinko [17]

the major effects of the earth’s revolution is not that there are seasons (contrary to what some reserve teachers think), which are caused by the axis tilt. however given that the axis tilt is responsible for seasons, the orbit around the sun will make them repeat themselves once per amount of time the earth takes to orbit. the earth’s REVOLUTION will also mean that we see different groups of stars at night over the course of a year. the earth’s revolution around the sun also enables us to measure the distances to nearby stars using the mathematical concept of PARALLAX. The earth’s motion needs to be separated out from our observations about motions of other objects, for example, retrograde motion of planets like Mars, Jupiter and further planets are the result of the earth traveling faster than they do as we overtake them.

While, most of the species living in the region are more arranged in terms or having a very specific system to resist the heat present inside the region.
  • As, such conditions gives rise to more high levels of temperature inside the different regions.But speaking specifically of the Iee(Ieeward)side of the Sierra Nevada's of California which is targeted by the displacement of the moisture or we can simply say that the droplets from the atmosphere is all  due to the presence of the condensation processes inside the regional atmosphere.
