How does the tilt of Earth’s axis and its movement around the sun play a part in the changing of the seasons in the Northern Hem

isphere?
My answer is :

When the north pole is tilted toward the sun, around 23 degrees at Summer Solstice, the sun is higher in the sky in the north and in fact you can see it for 24 hours if you are above the arctic circle. When the earth does a half revolution around the sun, that same north pole now points about 23 degrees away from the sun, and it is hot down below the equator.

My teacher said:

What seasons are occurring at each of these times?

Can someone help me answer this? Thanks!

The Earth's tilt is causing change of seasons on the latitudes north and south from 23 degrees, mostly being manifested in four different seasons.

Explanation:

The tilt of the Earth is a major factor that contributes to the occurrence of seasons in some parts of the planet. The tilt is roughly 23 degrees, and it half of the year it makes the Northern Hemisphere to be more exposed to the Sun, while in other half of the year it makes the Southern Hemisphere to be more exposed to the Sun. This results in changes of seasons throughout the year.

When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, it experiences summer. During the summer, the North Pole experiences constant daylight because it is constantly exposed to sunlight. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, then it experiences winter, and the North Pole has constant night because it is to exposed to the Sun at all.

The transitional period between the winter and the summer is the spring, where the sunlight and temperatures gradually increase. The transitional period between the summer and the winter is the autumn, where the sunlight and temperatures gradually decrease. This is the same on the Southern Hemisphere as well, just in the opposite part of the year.

There are four stages that mark the seasons:

  • spring equinox
  • summer solstice
  • autumn equinox
  • winter solstice

Jupiter has 67 moons, more than any other body in the solar system. What physical attribute of Jupiter causes it to have so many
Harrizon [31]

The correct answer is - it's mass.

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our Solar System, but only the biggest, also it has the biggest mass by far from all the planets. Because of its very big mass Jupiter has a very strong gravitational pull. The strong gravitational pull contributes to the attraction and keeping of lots of bodies that can not escape it, instead they revolve around the planet. These objects, or space bodies, that the gravitational pull of the planet managed to trap, became the moons, or rather natural satellites, of Jupiter.
