Question

1. what causes the seasons on earth? *

a. the tilt of the earths axis
b. the moons gravitational pull
c. the rotation of the earth
d. the distance between the earth and the sun

1. what is the path called that earth follows as it revolves around the sun? *

a. orbit
b. rotation
c. equator
d. equinox

Explanation:

1. For the first question: Earth's axial tilt means different hemispheres receive more direct sunlight at different times of the year, creating seasons. Distance to the Sun, Moon's gravity, and daily rotation do not cause seasonal changes.
2. For the second question: The curved path a celestial body follows around another is defined as an orbit. Rotation is spinning on an axis, equator is a planetary line, and equinox is a seasonal event.

Answer:

1. a. The tilt of the Earth's axis
2. a. Orbit
