Question
Describe how the seasons would be different if the Earth’s axis of rotation, rather than
having its present 23.5º tilt, were tilted by: a) 0º b) 90º
Expert Solution
arrow_forward
Step 1
Consequences of earth tilt at :
- Changing of seasons i.e. from winter to summer and vice-versa.
- Change in the position of the sun at the time of rising and set at any place.
- Change in the timing of sunrise or sunset at any place.
- The hemisphere which is tilted towards the sun will receive more direct sunlight as compared to the other.

- B7arrow_forwardH3. A total lunar eclipse is observed on December 31. Predict the next lunar eclipse. A total lunar eclipse will occur when the full moon and the nominal orbit of the moon line up together (The solution of two equations). From the following data algebraic equation for the phase of the moon and nominal orbit of the moon can be formed. A new moon (0%) was observed on December 17 and the full moon (10%) was observed on December 31 along with the nominal orbit of the moon (0%). The brimming orbit of the moon (100%) was observed on November 29. When the two equations are equal a lunar eclipse will occur. How many days from December 31 will next lunar eclipse occur? Given the coming year is a leap year - on what dates will the next 4 total lunar eclipses occur?
