Which of the following describes one reason that the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres have different seasons at the same time? Earth is closer to the Sun during summer in the Southern Hemisphere and is farther from the Sun during winter in the Northern Hemisphere. During a day of the year when the Sun is high in the sky in the Northern Hemisphere it will be low in the sky in the Southern Hemisphere. Earth is tilted, so the Sun is closer (less distance) to one hemisphere than the other, which causes one hemisphere to be in winter and the other in summer The Sun changes the amount of energy it sends to Earth throughout the year, providing more energy to one hemisphere than the other. a. b. c. d. Use the figure below to answer the next two questions. It shows parallel beams of sunlight illuminating Earth. Notice that the Earth's rotation axis is slightly tilted. As the Earth spins locations A through E spend part of the 24 hour day in sunlight, and part of the day in darkness (as indicated by the shaded region). Rank the time it takes (from longest to shortest) each location (A-E) to complete one full rotation. 7. SUN c. B>A>D>E d. E>D>A>B>C e. All Equal Using the same figure from the previous question, rank the time (from longest to shortest) that each location spends in daylight during each 24 hour period 8. a. E>D>A>B>C e. All Equal 9. If the celestial equator were aligned with the ecliptic. a. b. c. d. We would no longer have seasons at all We would still have seasons exactly as we do now We would still have seasons, and they would be more intense We would still have seasons, and they would be less intenseExplanation / Answer
6] Option c is correct.
This is because they are on opposite side of the planet. When northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun then the southern hemisphere away from the sun.
