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

Benzene has a specific gravity of 0.88. if it was spilled in a river what would it do?
Gelneren [198K]
As we know,
                    Density of Benzene  =  876 Kg/m³
And,
                    Density of Water       =  997 Kg/m³
So,
     Specific Gravity is calculated as,

                     Specific Gravity  =  Density of Benzene / Density of Water

                     Specific Gravity    =   876 Kg/m³ / 997 Kg/m³

                     Specific Gravity    =  0.878

Every object having specific gravity less than 1 will float on water and if value is greater than 1 then it will sink.

Benzene being non-polar in nature does not mix with water and due to less density it will float on the surface of water.

A balloon is filled with 0.250 mole of air at 35°C. If the volume of the balloon is 6.23 liters, what is the absolute pressure
lord [1]

Answer is:  the absolute pressure of the air in the balloon is 1.015 atm (102.84 kPa).

n = 0.250 mol; amount of substance.

V = 6.23 L; volume of the balloon.

T = 35°C = 308.15 K; temperature.

R = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K, universal gas constant.

Ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.

p = n·R·T / V.

p = 0.250 mol · 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K · 308.15 K / 6.23 L.

p = 1.015 atm; presure of the air.

In order for carbon to be stable and have 8 electrons, it must make 4 total covalent bonds.

In prefer for oxygen to be stable and have 8 electrons, it must make 2 covalent bonds.

So, we can deduce that CO2 looks like this:

O=C=O

This molecule has two double bonds.
