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

Chemistry

Nady [450]3 years ago

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

26.0 g of a liquid that has a density of 1.44 g/mL needs to be measured out in a graduated cylinder. what volume should be used
Vaselesa [24]
As Density = Mass/Volume
Mass = 26.0g 
Density = 1.44g/mL
Therefore Volume = Mass/Density
=> Volume = 26.0/1.44 = 18.055... = 18.1mL (to 3 sig figs)

Answer:

The rapid movement of excess charge from one place to another is an <em>electric discharge.</em>

Explanation:

A material in which electrons <em>CANNOT</em> move easily from place to place is an insulator. A material in which electrons <em>CAN </em>move easily from place to place is a conductor.

How are salinity, temperature and circulation related?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Salinity, along with temperature, determines the density of seawater, and hence its vertical flow patterns in thermohaline circulation. 2. Salinity records the physical processes affecting a water mass when it was last at the surface. Hope this helps!
