Eclipses, Seasons, and Tides Master Quest Re-grade

Question:

 Correct answer: 

The correct answer is Spring because the solar energy of the sun towards the Northern Hemisphere in this position isn't super high or super low and the hours of daylight due to the tilt of the Earth is in the middle.

Question:

Correct answer:

The correct answer is summer because in this position the Northern Hemisphere receives the most amount of sunlight energy from the sun making the days warmer and has the longest days in the year. The axis of the Earth is tilted towards the sun giving it the most light.

Question:

 Correct answer:

The correct answer is fall because the Northern Hemisphere is receiving moderately low levels of sunlight. The tilt of the Earth's axis is making it face a little ways away form the sun.

Question:

 Correct answer:

The correct answer is winter because the Earth is tiled away from the sun causing the Northern Hemisphere to receive the lowest levels on sun energy making it the cold season, winter.

Question:

Correct answer:

The correct answer is 23.5 degrees because the Earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees.

Question:

Correct answer:

The correct answer is summer because the Earth's axis is tilted towards the sun making the Northern Hemisphere receive the most amount of sun energy.

Question:

 Correct answer:

The correct answer is winter because since the Earth's axis is tilted towards the sun making the Southern Hemisphere face away from the sun and receive low levels of light and sun energy.


Question:

 Correct answer:

The correct answer is a lunar eclipse because in order for a lunar eclipse to happen the sun, Earth, and a full moon needs to be lined up exactly with the Earth in between them. The position that the moon needs to be in for a lunar eclipse (in the umbra) is also where a full moon would occur. 

Question:

Correct answer:

The correct answer is when the sun is directly above Earth's equator. This is because the angle of the sun in relation to the Earth's equator causes day and night to be of equal length making an equinox.
