Where we live
The sun is located in the ________galaxy.
Milky way
How does the latitude of a region affect its climate?
by determining the angle of sunlight throughout the year
A tide is the periodic rise and fall of the surface of the ocean. Several factors combine to cause the tides. Which has the greatest effect on the height of a tide?
the gravitational pull of the Moon
One evidence for the expansion of the universe is the fact that the majority of stars are moving away from each other. According to the Doppler Effect, how would this be observed from Earth?
Stars would show a red shift.
A scientist is searching for areas where new solar systems might form. What things might they be?
a cloud of dust and gas
The influence of the moon on the tides on Earth i greater than that of the Sun. Which best explain this?
The moon is closer to Earth than the Sun
When it is summer in the northern hemisphere of Earth, it is winter in the
southern hemisphere. Which statement explains this fact?
Since Earth is tilted on its axis, heat from the Sun gets distributed unequally.
What causes greater seasonal changes in the amount of daylight, as latitude increases?
Earth’s tilt and revolution around the sun
What is the primary means through which the Sun warms Earth?
transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
As Earth revolves around the Sun, the number of daylight hours varies from place to place. In which location would the number of daylight hour remain constant?
Equator
The axis of Earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5° from the vertical position. Which
of the following is the main result of this tilt?
change of seasons
How does the energy produced by the sun travel to Earth?
by the radiation of electromagnetic waves through space
Why has only one-half of the Moon ever been observed from Earth?
The Moon rotates at the same rate that it revolves around Earth.
Earth's spherical shape results in an uneven distribution of sunlight reaching Earth' surface. This uneven distribution is mot directly responsible for differences in which climatic variable at different latitudes on Earth's surface?
temperature
Which of these is the main source of the electromagnetic energy we use?
sun
Which subatomic particles are involved in the nuclear fusion that powers the Sun?
protons and neutrons

The length of time between night and day on Earth varies throughout the year.
This time variance is explained primarily by
Earth’s angle of tilt
Which is true about the way sunlight changes from winter to summer?
Sunlight is more intense in summer.
The length of a year is determined by the amount of time it takes
Earth to revolve around the Sun.
How does photosynthesis support life on Earth?
Possibles:
-by converting solar energy into chemical energy
-Giving off oxygen we need to breath
