Earth has different seasons because

Social Studies
1 answer:
VladimirAG [237]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

As the earth spins on its axis, producing night and day, it also moves about the sun in an elliptical (elongated circle) orbit that requires about 365 1/4 days to complete. The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons.

But Earth's distance from the sun doesn't change enough to cause seasonal differences. Instead, our seasons change because Earth tilts on its axis, and the angle of tilt causes the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to trade places throughout the year in receiving the sun's light and warmth most directly

Relatively speaking, Earth's distance from the Sun doesn't change all that much throughout the year, nevertheless there are measurable differences in solar heating that result from our planet's slightly elliptical orbit.

Sutton breaks into a house when the owner is away and looks for valuable items to steal. However, he does not find anything wort
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: Sutton's offense will not be recorded because it is part of what is called the dark figure of the crime.

Explanation:

In the field of criminology or sociology, the dark figure of the crime can be defined as the number of crimes that have not been reported or discovered.

Just as many reported crimes are seen daily and investigations to find out who has committed it, there are also times where crimes cannot be proven due to lack of evidence or perhaps they happened but were never reported.

Situations have been seen where innocent people are convicted of poor evidence or people who are guilty but lack of evidence cannot ensure that the person is guilty. There are also cases where there are crimes that are not reported because the person does not trust justice or the person may feel guilty for what happened to him.

In the case of Sutton, although it is true that at the end of the day he did not steal anything and that the owner of the house could not detect anything because everything was intact, this does not mean that the crime did not happen. If the owner of the house had security cameras or found Sutton in the house, it would have been proof that he was trying to steal even if he didn't carry anything.

If Sutton had been found there would be chances of being imprisoned or other judicial actions would have been taken because entering a house without permission and that is a crime.
