The winter solstice is past, but bundle up – January is when winter really arrives in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere.

Movements of the Earth, revolution, and rotation. The earth has two motions, the rotation and the revolution. The earth revolves around the sun and also rotates on its own axis.

What causes Day and Night? Rotation. What causes seasons? The tilt of the Earth and uneven heating of the Earth’s surface. 5th grade

Ever since the 16th century when Nicolaus Copernicus demonstrated that the Earth revolved around in the Sun, scientists have worked tirelessly to understand the relationship in mathematical terms. If this bright celestial body – upon which depends the seasons, the diurnal cycle, and all life on Earth – does not revolve around us, then what exactly is the nature of our orbit around it?

Today I found out the Earth is hottest when it is furthest from the Sun on its orbit, not when it is closest. During the period when the Earth is furthest from the sun (aphelion), the average temperature of the entire planet is about 4°F (2.3°C) higher than when it is closest to the sun (perihelion). On average, the intensity [...]

In this astronomy science fair project, students will investigate how axial tilt creates seasons.
