sun and earth diagram

use the answer choices to complete the sentence so that it makes a correct comparison of location x and location y.
(1 point)
it is currently blank at location x and blank at location y.
answer choices: winter, summer, day, night

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the Earth - Sun model. Location X is on the side of Earth facing the Sun, so it should be day. Location Y is on the side not facing the Sun, so it should be night. Also, for seasons, if X is in a position getting direct sunlight (assuming the tilt), but first, the day - night is clear: X is day (facing Sun), Y is night (facing away).

Answer:

It is currently $\boldsymbol{\text{day}}$ at Location X and $\boldsymbol{\text{night}}$ at Location Y.
