Astronomy Ranking Task: The Seasons Description: In the figures (A -E) below paraledl beams of sunlight illuminte globes tited a h, globos rotate so that each location (indicted by a?onech glabe is sometimes in sunlight and sometimes in darkness Assume that the globes make one full globe rotation every 24 hours and that the distance of each"X" above the equator is the same on each )? A: Tilt-4s B: Tilt-0 C: Tilt-23 D: Tilt-90 E: Tilt-23 A. Ranking Instructions Rank the time (from longest to shortest) that each location spends in daylight during the 24 hour rotation period. Ranking Order: Loget time 1- _2__3__4_ _5_ _ Or, the time spent in daylight for each location is the same Shortest time mark) (indicate with check Carefully explain your reasoning for ranking thisway

Explanation / Answer

Longest to shortest:

1. E (Tilt 23 deg) 2. B (Tilt 0 deg) 3. C (Tilt 23 deg) 4. A (Tilt 45 deg) 5. D (Tilt 90 deg)

The time spent for the point X in daytime will be maximum in case E because point X lies in northern hemisphere & planet is tilted towards sun. Afterwards, as the tilt of northern hemisphere will decrease towards the sun the daytime will also decrease. In case of B tilt towards the sun get decreased so daytime will decrease from the previous case.

Afterwards the tilt of the planet started in opposite direction of the sun so as the tilt will increase in opposite direction the day time will decrease. So the next case will be C (Tilt 23 deg opposite direction to sun) and then A (Tilt 45 deg opposite direction to sun) & finally D (Tilt 90 deg opposite direction to sun).
