The correct option for the statement “Earth experiences changes of the seasons because of” .
Answer to Problem 8RAT
The correct option for the statement “Earth experiences changes of the seasons because of” is option (d).
Explanation of Solution
The season on the Earth depends on the amount of intensity of the light and the angle at which the sunlight strikes on Earth. The variation in the angle of striking sun-rays varies throughout the year.
As the Earth is tilted to some angle about its imaginary rotational axis, the angle at which the sun-rays strike also depends on the Earth's tilt. The sun-rays fall perpendicular to the northern hemisphere in summer and obliquely at the time of winter. And that is the reason why the season on Earth changes.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “Earth experiences changes of the seasons because of” is option (d).
