Question

the tilt of earth
the spherical shape of earth explains why it gets colder as you get closer to the poles,
and why the height of the sun appears lower in the sky as you get closer to the poles. but
these ideas alone do not completely explain why it is warmer in summer than in winter.
what did you learn as your model earth moved around the model sun? because
earths tilt did not change, the amount of sunlight reaching a specific area of earth did
change. as earth orbits the sun, the area of earth that is pointed more toward the sun
changes because earth is always tilted in the same direction. so, the reason we have
seasons is because of a combination of earths tilt and earths revolution.
when the northern hemisphere points toward the sun, the southern hemisphere
points away from the sun. seasons in the southern hemisphere are opposite from
those in the northern hemisphere. in december, it is winter in canada and summer
in australia.

1. do the north and south poles always stay in the same position relative to the sun?

explain your reasoning.
lesson 2 s

Explanation:

Earth's tilt remains constant, but as Earth orbits the sun, different hemispheres are oriented towards or away from the sun. This means the poles' positions relative to the sun change throughout the year. For example, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun (summer in the north), the North Pole has more sunlight exposure compared to when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun (winter in the north).

Answer:

No, the North and South Poles do not always stay in the same position relative to the sun. As Earth orbits the sun, the tilt of Earth causes different hemispheres to be oriented towards or away from the sun at different times of the year. So, their positions relative to the sun change throughout the year.
