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

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

If the pressure in the room is 759.2 torr and the vapor pressure of water is 23.8 torr, what is the pressure of hydrogen gas in
Gwar [14]

The partial pressure of Hydrogen gas can directly be calculated by simply taking the difference of the overall pressure and the vapour pressure of water. That is:

 

P (H2 gas) = 759.2 torr – 23.8 torr

<span>P (H2 gas) = 735.4 torr</span>

Iron is a solid, grey metal. Oxygen is a colorless gas. When iron and oxygen chemically combine , rust is made. Rust has a reddi
Phoenix [80]
Because the formation of rust is a kind of chemistry reaction.
After chemistry reaction, compound with new properties is produced.
Of course, color is one of the new properties.
For example, if you put iron in colorless acid solution, a green solution is made.
This kind of chemisty reaction differs from physical reaction, for example, pigment with one color dissolves in liquid, a liquid with same color is made.

The volume of a gas with a pressure of 1.2 atm increases from 1.0 l to 4.0 l. what is the final pressure of the gas, assuming no
Oksana_A [137]
Boyle's law gives the relationship between pressure and volume of gas.
for a fixed amount of gas, at constant temperature the pressure of gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
PV = k
where P - pressure, V - volume and k - constant
P1V1 = P2V2
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side.
substituting the values in the equation
1.2 atm x 1.0 L = P x 4.0 L 
P = 0.3 atm
new pressure is 0.3 atm
