Revolution and Rotation

Angle of sunlight

Axis tilt

Indirect and Direct Energy

The earths rotation takes 365 and 1/4 to make a revolution around the sun. Rotation happens everyday it means the world is spinning so the sun hits it

Axis tilt Is were earth is tilted 23.5. The earth is always tilted. It is tilted away and toward the sun every day

From the lesson

From the lesson

The amount of energy in each season differs. In winter, the energy is less because the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun. The Summer has more energy and has higher temperatures due to it being tilted toward the Sun.

From the lesson

The angle of sunlight is due to the Earth's tilt. The Sun shines on the planet at a 90 degree angle, and this angle hits whatever hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
