For a lunar eclipse (the moon is obscured from view), which phase is necessary?
A) third quarter
B) new moon
C) first quarter
D) full moon
Answer:
The correct option is: A) As Earth goes around the Sun and Earth's axis remains pointed toward Polaris, the Northern and Southern hemispheres alternately receive more and less direct sunlight.
Explanation:
Seasons on Earth are the changes in the weather caused due to the <u>titled axis of the Earth, relative to the orbital or ecliptic plane</u>, while orbiting around the Sun. The Earth's axis of rotation is<u> tilted approximately by an angle of 23.4°. </u>
This results in the change in the intensity of the sunlight received by the Earth's surface, due to which the southern and the northern hemispheres <u>experience opposite seasons.</u>
Answer:
Distance per unit time
Explanation:
Speed is the rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate.
The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the surface material is stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules. ... Water wants to stick to the glass and surface tension will push the water up, until the force of gravity prevents further rise.
Narrower tube openings allow capillary action to pull water higher
Gravity is dependent on Mass & Distance
