False

Explanation:

Most of us have a belief that Earth is very close to the sun in summer season and so it is hotter. Also, since Earth is far away from the sun in winter season, it is colder. Though this idea looks true, it is incorrect.

The orbit of the Earth isn't a perfect circle. It is quite tilted. During some months of the year, Earth is very close to the sun than at other times. We have winter when the Earth is very close to the sun and summer when it is far away in the Northern Hemisphere. So when we compare the distance of the Sun from the Earth, this change in Earth's distance throughout the year does not affect our weather much.

Explanation:

Since the door that leads to the room is opened, this gives room for particles to move into the next identical room and divided into octants. Now the amount of space that can be occupied becomes double, the number of basic states has increased by 404916

katovenus [111]

Explanation:

Though the diagram that is mentioned in the questions is not given. I have given general information related to the Earth's magnetic axis with respect to geographic/rotational axis.

Axis is an imaginary line around which a body rotates. The rotational axis of the Earth enters into and exits from the Earth at two points namely: North and South pole.

We know that the Earth behaves like a huge bar magnet so just like the bar magnet it must also have magnetic axis and poles. Earth has north magnetic pole and south magnetic pole. It has a strong magnetic field as well known as magnetosphere.

The interesting point about magnetic axis is that it is not same as rotational axis. In fact it makes an angle with the rotational axis. This is known as magnetic inclination. This inclination varies at different points on Earth.

Another interesting point is that the geographic and magnetic poles are opposite. That means near the geographic north pole we have the magnetic south pole and vice versa.
