Question

which of the following statements describe earths axis? hint: select two (2) answer choices select all that apply. a earths revolution is caused by its axis. b earth spins on its axis once a year. c earths axis is tilted. d earths axis always points in the same direction.

Explanation:

Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.5 degrees relative to its orbital plane around the Sun. Also, as Earth orbits the Sun, its axis always points in the same direction (towards the North - Star Polaris). Earth's revolution (orbiting the Sun) is due to the Sun's gravitational pull, not its axis. And Earth spins on its axis once a day, not once a year.

Answer:

C. Earth's axis is tilted.
D. Earth's axis always points in the same direction.
