Question

7 multiple choice 10 points
which statement correctly explains why seasons change?
○ earth rotates faster in summer
○ earth’s distance from the sun changes greatly
○ earth’s tilt causes different angles of sunlight as it revolves
○ the sun gives off more heat in summer

Explanation:

Seasons change due to Earth's 23.5-degree axial tilt as it orbits the Sun. This tilt means different parts of Earth receive sunlight at varying angles and for different durations throughout the year, leading to temperature changes that define seasons. The other options are incorrect: Earth's rotation speed is consistent, its distance from the Sun does not change enough to cause seasons, and the Sun's heat output is stable.

Answer:

Earth's tilt causes different angles of sunlight as it revolves
