c. when the moon is betweent

Explanation:

1. Earth's axial tilt creates varying sunlight intensity and duration across hemispheres, causing seasons. The Moon's pull affects tides, rotation causes day/night, and Earth-Sun distance has minimal seasonal impact.
2. The curved path a celestial body follows around another is defined as its orbit; rotation is spinning on an axis, equator is a latitude line, and equinox is a seasonal event.
3. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon, casting Earth's shadow on the lunar surface.

Answer:

1. a. The tilt of the Earth's axis
2. a. Orbit
3. b. When the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun
