These free earth science worksheets explore how the tilt of Earth's axis causes seasons to form. What causes night and daylight occurring more in some regions of the world than others? Why do we have different seasons? All this occurs due to the tilt of the Earth.

There is a different reason for Earth's seasons. Earth's axis is an imaginary pole going right through the center of Earth from "top" to "bottom." Earth spins around this pole, making one complete turn each day.

Many people believe that Earth is closer to the Sun in the summer and that is why it is hotter. And, likewise, they think Earth is farthest from the Sun in the winter. Although this idea makes sense, it is incorrect. It is true that Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle. It is a bit lop-sided. During part of the year, Earth is closer to the Sun tha...
Long, long ago, when Earth was young, it is thought that something big hit Earth and knocked it off-kilter. So instead of rotating with its axis straight up and down, it leans over a bit. By the way, that big thing that hit Earth is called Theia. It also blasted a big hole in the surface. That big hit sent a huge amount of dust and rubble into orbi...
Earth's perihelion (point closest to Sun) = 91,400,000 miles from Sun Earth's aphelion (point farthest from Sun) = 94,500,000 miles from Sun While that is a difference of over 3 million miles, relative to the entire distance, it isn’t much. And, believe it or not, aphelion (when Earth is farthest from the Sun) occurs in July, and perihelion (when w...
Earth’s seasons are NOT caused by being closer or farther from the sun. (The North Star). As Earth moves around the sun, Earth’s North Pole stays pointed toward this star, which is 500 light-years from our solar system. Earth’s axis remains tilted toward Polaris, but how. toward the sun.

Oct 23, 2017 · REGENTS EARTH SCIENCE Earth’s Seasons Practice Worksheet Activity 1 : Use the diagram below to answer the following questions. The diagram shows the Earth at four different positions in its orbit around the sun. Write the letter(s) of the appropriate position next to each of the following events. 1) June 21 2) March 21
Objective – Students will understand how Earth’s tilt on its axis changes the length of daylight and creates the seasons. In June, people in Australia called the season... Spring d. Winter. Gravity d. Weak. This is the average of the weather at a place over a long period of time. Climate d. Environment. True b. False. This causes the seasons.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF SEASONS? The four divisions of the year (spring, summer, fall and winter) are marked by weather patterns and hours of daylight in a particular region. These patterns are a result of Earth’s 23.5° tilt of axis and its changing position as it orbits the Sun. To better understand the causes of seasons... LET’S BREAK IT DOWN!
