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

What are the three steps scientists take to evaluate a scientific explanation?
AveGali [126]
Step 1. - Scientists first take a look at their empirical evidence and try to explain it.
Step 2. - Scientists test if their explanation or conclusion is logical.
Step 3. - If their explanation is logical, they search for new test that may help them to support their first idea.

2. Suggest four ways in which the concentration of PH3 could be increased in an equilibrium described by the following equation:
Nesterboy [21]

Answer

  • increase in temperature
  • decrease in pressure
  • continuous removal of PH3
  • adding more of P into the system

Explanation:

        In the reaction   P4(g)+6H2(g) ⇌ 4PH3(g);

  • The effect of temperature on equilibrium has to do with the heat of reaction. Recall that for an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed in the reaction, and the value of ΔH is positive. Thus, for an endothermic reaction, we can picture heat as being a reactant:

        heat+A⇌BΔH=+

  • Since the reaction is endothermic reaction, heat is a absorbed. Decreasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the left, while increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right forming more of PH3.
  • According to Le Chatelier’s principle, adding additional reactant to a system will shift the equilibrium to the right, towards the side of the products. In the same Way, reducing the concentration of the product will also shift equilibrium to the right continually forming PH3 as it is removed.
