Conclusion Questions from Exploration Lab "Tilted Earth"

Please be sure that you write a well supported answer to each of these questions. Use your concept map/science text book to help you!

Do you think a planet whose axis was NOT tilted would have
seasons? Explain your answer.

Many people think that the tilt of the Earth causes seasons
because it makes one part of the Earth much, much closer to
the Sun. When the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun, is the
Northern Hemisphere really much closer to the Sun than the
Southern Hemisphere? Explain your answer.



If you did not have a chance to do it in class, make sure that you create a diagram of the Earth/Sun relationship and label the seasons (along with solstice and equinox points). The diagram should be neat and on the back of your concept map, both will go in your class notes section of your notebook.
