Detailed explanation-1: -Which statement best describes how Earth’s position affects temperatures? Earth’s rotation from west to east creates unpredictable temperatures.
Detailed explanation-2: -The climate of a region depends on many factors including the amount of sunlight it receives, its height above sea level, the shape of the land, and how close it is to oceans. Since the equator receives more sunlight than the poles, climate varies depending on its distance from the equator.
Detailed explanation-3: -During the 24 hours that it takes for the Earth to rotate once around its axis, every point on its surface faces toward the Sun for part of the time and away from it for part of the time. This is what causes daily changes in sunlight and temperature.
Detailed explanation-4: -How does the earth’s position in relationship to the sun affect weather and climate? “When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the sun’s rays fall more directly on the Northern Hemisphere, ringing longer, warmer days. This is summer in the Norther Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
