What is Earth's Axis and why is it important when we talk about the seasons?

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

Earth's axis is an imaginary pole going right through the center of Earth from "top" to "bottom." Earth spins around this pole, making one complete turn each day. That is why we have day and night, and why every part of Earth's surface gets some of each. Earth has seasons because its axis doesn't stand up straight.

Earth's axis is not perpendicular. It has an axial tilt or obliquity. Axial tilt is the angle between the planet's rotational axis and its orbital axis. A planet's orbital axis is perpendicular to the ecliptic or orbital plane, the thin disk surrounding the sun and extending to the edge of the solar system.

The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons. When the earth's axis points towards the sun, it is summer for that hemisphere. When the earth's axis points away, winter can be expected.

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Earths axis is tilted and also depends on the tilt according to the seasons. Earths axis is an imaginary line that isn’t visible, as seasons change you see changes in climate like summers are very hot and winters are cold, it’s all related to earths axis as in one part of the world is day while the other night some parts maybe evening (depends on the time), some parts winter some summer- sorry if I made it complicated but hope this gives u an idea, the other guy deserves brainliest tho

The value of Kp for the reaction NO(g) 1 1 2 O2(g) 4 NO2(g) is 1.5 3 106 at 25°C. At equilibrium, what is the ratio of PNO2 to P
expeople1 [14]

Answer : The ratio of p_{NO_2} to p_{NO} is, 6.87\times 10^5

Solution :  Given,

K_p=1.5\times 10^6

p_{O_2} = 0.21 atm

The given equilibrium reaction is,

NO(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightleftharpoons NO_2(g)

The expression of K_p will be,

K_p=\frac{(p_{NO_2})}{(p_{NO})\times (p_{O_2})^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

1.5\times 10^6=\frac{(p_{NO_2})}{(p_{NO})\times (0.21)^{\frac{1}{2}}}

\frac{(p_{NO_2})}{(p_{NO})}=(1.5\times 10^6)\times (0.21)^{\frac{1}{2}}

\frac{(p_{NO_2})}{(p_{NO})}=6.87\times 10^5

Therefore, the ratio of p_{NO_2} to p_{NO} is, 6.87\times 10^5

Why is potassium placed in the periodic table where it is?
Virty [35]
Potassium is placed where it is based on its properties and it's reactivity. It's also placed there based on it's atomic number.
