Think of Earth as a ball with a rod through it, standing for the axis. This makes it easier to imagine Earths orientation in spa

ce relative to other objects like the Sun. Now consider the Sun as another ball. Imagine the Sun located in the center of a disk, kind of like a Frisbee. The planets in the solar system would be positioned on the Frisbee but at varying distances from the Sun. The area we are imagining as a Frisbee is actually called the plane of the ecliptic. It is the plane of Earths orbit around the Sun. Earths axis is not oriented perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. It is tilted at 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular. Why is this an important detail? This orientation in space, relative to the Sun, has great influence on Earths seasonal changes.
QUESTION 1
In paragraph 4, what word or phrase gives you a clue to what the word perpendicular means?

Somewhat like a Frisbee

Relative to the Sun

Rather it is tilted

Orientation in space

Explanation:

A ball is thrown straight up from a rooftop 320 feet high. The formula below describes the ball's height above the ground, h, in feet, t seconds after it was thrown. The ball misses the rooftop on its way down and eventually strikes the ground. How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground? Use this information to provide tick marks with appropriate numbers along the horizontal axis in the figure shown.

h=-16t^2+16t+320

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Plants produce oxygen gas and glucose molecule during the process of photosynthesis by absorbing radiation of the sun.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which glucose and oxygen are produced by the combination of carbondioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. Carbondioxode is taken in the leaves through stomata and water is absorbed by the plant from the soil. When these two substances combine in the presence of sunlight produces glucose and oxygen.

Answer:

2nd one

Explanation:

Regardless of latitude or time of year, the sun's angle reaches closest to 90 degrees (perpendicular lines are 90 degrees) -- and is therefore at its most intense -- at the midpoint of the day: noon.

BRAINLIESTTT ASAP!!!!<br><br> -What is the position of Earth during its four seasons?
Keith_Richards [23]

Summer , for the northern hemisphere, summer is the warmest time of year. It's not because the planet is that much closer to the Sun, it's because the top part of the Earth is facing the Sun for a amount of time.

The Sun is directly over the Equator during the autumnal equinox, and heating the northern and southern hemispheres equally. As the northern hemisphere is moving towards shorter days and the cold winter, the southern hemisphere is watching the snows melt and the flowers bloom during their spring.

Summer is the season where the Earth is tilted way from the Sun and the South Pole is getting all of the light

Spring is a bit of a mirror image to our position in autumn. The Sun is directly over the Equator during the equinox and the northern and southern hemispheres
