what causes earth’s seasons?
○ the speed of earth’s rotation
○ changes in the sun’s temperature
○ the tilt of earth’s axis and its revolution around the sun
○ the distance between earth and the sun

Explanation:

For Question 5: The Northern and Southern Hemispheres have opposite seasons. When the Northern Hemisphere has its winter solstice (shortest day, coldest season), the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, experiencing summer and its summer solstice.
For Question 6: Earth's seasons are caused by the 23.5-degree tilt of its axis as it revolves around the Sun, which changes the angle and intensity of sunlight reaching different parts of the planet throughout the year.

Answer:

Question 5: It is experiencing summer and having its summer solstice
Question 6: The tilt of Earth's axis and its revolution around the Sun
