all planets in our solar system rotate on an axis. however, venus has a very small axial tilt, so its poles are almost straight up and down. this meansthere is little difference in daylight in venuss northern and southern hemispheres during the year. which of the following is a correct statementabout venus?
o a venuss and earths seasons are the same. the planets experience similar temperature changes.
o b venus has no seasons because its axis is not tilted. the tilt is what causes seasons
o c seasons on venus are backwards. winters are hot and summers are cold
o d venuss seasons are very extreme. summers are extremely hot and winters are exceptionally cold
The axial tilt of a planet is a key factor in the formation of seasons. Earth has a significant axial tilt, which causes distinct seasons. Venus has a very small axial tilt. This means that the amount of sunlight received by its Northern and Southern Hemispheres does not vary much throughout the year. Since seasons are primarily caused by the axial tilt (as it affects the angle and duration of sunlight received in different hemispheres at different times of the planet's orbit around the Sun), a planet with no (or almost no) axial tilt will not have seasons in the traditional sense like Earth does.
