Earth's Tilt
Earth is slightly leaned. This is called?
Tilt
This type of sunlight makes it hotter?
Direct sunlight
Earth spinning is called
Rotation
True or false: the Earth rotates around the Sun
True
The Northern Hemisphere is the half of Earth located this direction from the equator
North
Earth is tilted about this many degrees?
23.5
This type of sunlight makes it cooler
Indirect Sunlight
Earth moving around the Sun is
Revolution
True or false: One Earth year is 365.25 days
True
When it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is this season in the Southern Hemisphere
Winter
The imaginary line Earth tilts on?
Axis
The angle of sunlight affects this
temperature
One trip around the Sun takes
1 year/365 days
True or false: Places around the Equator experience seasons just like the Northern and Southern Hemisphere
False
The Northern and Southern Hemispheres experience opposite seasons because of this
Earth's Tilt
The tilt stays pointing the same direction during this (*Hint) Path Earth takes around the Sun.
Revolution/Orbit
More concentrated sunlight means this
higher temperature
Rotation causes
Day/Night
True or false: The US is located in the Northeastern Hemisphere of the world
False .. The US is located in the Northwestern Hemisphere of the world
When the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, it experiences
When a hemisphere tilts toward the Sun, it experiences which season?
Summer
When sunlight spreads over a larger area, it causes
lower temperature
Revolution + tilt together causes what?
Seasons
True or False: Latitude and Longitude mean the same thing
False. Latitude is North/South (up/down) and Longitude is East/West (horizontal)
Explain why seasons are opposite in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres
Because Earth is tilted, one hemisphere receives more direct sunlight while the other receives less at the same time
