Question
true or false: earth’s seasons are caused by earth’s distance from the sun.
a. true
b. false
Brief Explanations
Earth's seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis (about 23.5 degrees) as it orbits the sun, not the distance from the sun. The distance from the sun (perihelion and aphelion) has a minor effect, but the tilt leads to varying solar energy distribution (more direct rays in summer, less in winter for a hemisphere), creating seasons. So the statement is false.
