Question

Suppose you use a ball place near Atlanta to model day and night on Earth you place a pencil to the ball you tilt the pencil slightly from vertical to represent Earth axis How should you spend the globe on the pencil to correctly model the rising and setting of the Sun A spin the globe from left to right so the sun will appear to move from east to west in the sky B spin the globe from right to left so the sun will appear to move from west to east in the sky C spin the globe from right to left so the sun will appear to move from east to west in the sky D spin the glow from left to right so the sun will appear to move from west to east in the sky

Answer 1

To correctly model the rising and setting of the Sun on Earth using a globe, you should:

**A. Spin the globe from left to right so the sun will appear to move from east to west in the sky.**

This is because the Earth rotates on its axis from west to east, which causes the Sun to appear to rise in the east and set in the west. Spinning the globe in the manner described will simulate this effect.
