The main reason is that the USA is in the Northern Hemisphere & Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere. It has all to do with the tilt of the earth as it revolves around the Sun. Summer happens in the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun, and winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun.

A vocabulary in context exercise in which students match words to definitions describing elliptical planetary orbits, applying i
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

1. Focus

2. Aphelion

3. Ellipse

4. Semimajor axis

5. Perihelion

6. Eccentricity

Explanation:

In Kepler's first law of planetary motion, he says that planets orbit around the sun, not in perfect circles, but in ellipses (3.) the Earth also orbits the sun in this shape. The shape of the ellipse is determined by two focii. The closer these two points are to each other, the more the ellipse will resemble a circle.

The moon for example, orbits around the Earth. The moon is not always at the same distance from the Earth in all points of the orbit. So the shape is an ellipse, which is made with Earth as one of its focus(1.).

Eccentricity(6.) describes the flatness the orbit is, or how elliptical the orbit is. Remember Kepler's first law, he says that planets move in elliptical orbits and not perfect circles. So it is simply how different from a perfect circle an orbit is. Pluto is known to have a large eccentricity.

Because of the shape of an ellipse, there are going to be points where a planet is closest to the sun and where a planet is farthest from the sun. This is where Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion comes in. When the planet is closest to the sun, this is called the perihelion (5.) where a planet would be traveling the fastest at this point of the orbit. When the planet is at its farthest point from the sun, this is called the aphelion (2.) where a planet would be traveling the slowest.

The third law of Kepler describes the relationship between the period and the average distance of the sun. The semimajor axis(4.) is the average distance of the planet object from the sun and is measured in Astonomical units (AU). The period is measured in years.

What important change in the Sun over the past four billion years is thought to be very important to understanding the climates
Law Incorporation [45]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although options are not included in this question, we can answer the following.

The important change in the Sun over the past four billion years is thought to be very important to understanding the climates of Venus, Earth, and Mars is "a gradual brightening with time."

Our solar system is wonderful. The Sun exerts a key influence on the planets that orbit the Sun. Solar flares create a great impact on the closer planets, including planet Earth. Our relationship with the Sun is absolute. Indeed, life on planet Earth depends on the Sun. Sun rays along one year determine the weather, among other factors on Earth, as well as the Sun and its gradual brightening with time, which has impacted the climate of Venus, and Mars.
