Answer:

As given as under.

Explanation:

  • 1. The phases of the moon are caused due to the earth's rotations on its axis and the moon rotation around the earth in its elliptical orbit. Certain phases f the moon are caused due to the sun and moon positions about that of the earth on the full moon, new moon and half-moon days. Most of the time we see the same face of the moon.
  • 2. Planet venus show similar properties to that of the moon as both the moon and venus have are made up of same gem material like earth and being a terrestrial planet the venus and both revolve on in the same opposite direction of the earth thus earth sees the same phase of the venus as in the moon.
  • 3. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the rays id sun and a ring-shaped formations take place when the earth comes in way of the or between the moon and sun the shadows of the earth fall on the moon and hence lunar eclipse takes place.
  • 4. The north star also called the Polaris star seems to change its position for the southern hemisphere, but as for the northern hemisphere, it remains the same as being the north star the equatorial belt the star remains or shows the same side. Due to the rotation and axial tilt of the earth.
  • 5. The cause of sunrise and sunset is mainly due to the sun and the earth's movement around the horizon in the opposite direction and there is 12 hours gap.

During the summer months, strong high pressure 24. cells exist off North America's east and west coasts. How do these high press
andrew11 [14]

High pressure and ocean currents causes dry summer season in San Francisco and abundant amount rainfall in Washington, DC.

High pressure cells combine with the different ocean currents off the coasts causes a summer dry season in San Francisco and abundant rainfall in Washington, DC because these pressure cell along with ocean currents carried out moist winds which turn into clouds lead to rainfall.

When moist winds blow inland, the high terrain of the Cascade Range forces the moist air to rise into the atmosphere, forming thick clouds and steady rainfall occurs in Washington, DC while on the other hand, San Francisco experience dry summer season and wet winter season due to presence near the water bodies so we can conclude that high pressure and ocean currents causes dry summer season in San Francisco and abundant amount rainfall in Washington, DC.
