Question

1. base your answer to the following question on the diagram below and on your knowledge of earth science. the diagram represents twelve positions of earth in its orbit around the sun and twelve constellations that can be seen in the midnight sky by an observer looking south in new york state at different times of the year. the approximate locations of the constellations in relation to earths orbit are shown. (not drawn to scale) which motion causes observers on earth to see different constellations at different times of the year? a) earth revolves around the constellations. b) earth revolves around the sun. c) the constellations revolve around earth. d) the constellations revolve around the sun.

Explanation:

Earth's revolution around the Sun causes different constellations to be visible at different times of the year. As Earth moves in its orbit, the position of Earth relative to the stars and constellations changes, allowing observers to see different parts of the sky at night. Constellations are groups of stars that appear in specific patterns, and they are fixed relative to each other in space. Earth's rotation on its axis causes day - night cycles, but it is the revolution around the Sun that leads to the changing visibility of constellations.

Answer:

B. Earth revolves around the Sun.
