The revolution of Earth around the sun and Earth’s tilted axis
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The earth’s spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons. When the earth’s axis points towards the sun, it is summer for that hemisphere. When the earth’s axis points away, winter can be expected.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the Earth orbits the Sun, the Earth is pulled by the gravitational forces of the Sun, Moon, and large planets in the solar system, primarily Jupiter and Saturn. Over long periods of time, the gravitational pull of other members of our solar system slowly change Earth’s spin, tilt, and orbit.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer is (d) the axis of rotation of the earth is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit. Explanation: Axis of rotation of the earth is not perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. The tilt is responsible for the change of seasons on earth.
