Question

The tilt of the Earth's axis is responsible for _________.

• A. change in seasons
• B. change in day and night
• C. change in sunny to rainy day
• D. change in amount of water

Answer 1

The correct option is A change in seasons

The axis around which the Earth revolves is tilted. This tilt is responsible for the seasons.

When the Northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it gets more hours of sunlight. Thus, it is summer in the Nothern hemisphere and winter in the Southern hemisphere.

Six months later, it's the Southern hemisphere that experiences summer.
