A model shows rays of sunlight moving straight from the sun perpendicular to the surface of the earth. what are these rays called? (1 point)

Answer 1

These rays are called "solar rays" or "direct sunlight" when they strike the Earth's surface perpendicularly. More specifically, when the sun is directly overhead, the rays can also be referred to as "zenith rays."

Answer 2

Animation shows a complete revolution of the Earth around the sun.What happens during this time?
A)Earth experiences a complete day.
B)Four seasons occur on Earth
C)the moon makes one complete phase change
D)day tuns to night

Answer 3

The correct answer is B) Four seasons occur on Earth.

As the Earth completes its revolution around the sun, it orbits in a tilted position, which causes the change of seasons throughout the year.

Answer 4

A diagram explains the cause of the seasons shows the earth in its orbit around the sun. What is the main factor in how the changing seasons occur?
A)how close the earth is to the sun
B)how fast the sun rays to the earth
C)the speed at which the earth rotates during the year
D) the tilt of the earth on it axis in relation to the sun

Answer 5

The correct answer is D) the tilt of the Earth on its axis in relation to the sun.

The tilt of the Earth's axis (approximately 23.5 degrees) is the primary reason for the changing seasons as the Earth orbits the sun. This tilt affects how sunlight is distributed across the planet, leading to variations in temperature and daylight throughout the year.

Answer 6

A diagram depicting one of the seasons shows the Northern Hemisphere tilted towards the sun. Which season is it in the Northern Hemisphere?
A)autum
B)winter
C)summer
D)spring

Answer 7

The correct answer is C) summer.

When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it receives more direct sunlight, resulting in warmer temperatures and the season of summer.
