EARTHS+TILT+CHANGE

Questions-How does the angle or tilt of the earth affect temperature distribution? Hypothesis-They're will be a huge change because one country will get indirect light and where the sun is pointing is where it's going to be hotter. media type="custom" key="12468502" CLAIM / Evidence- The angle or tilt of the earth does affect the temperature distribution because when the an area of the earth is facing the sun that area is warmer. And when it is facing away from the sun then that area is colder. When New York is facing the sun the temperature keeps on increasing. New York highest point was 89 so you can come with a hypothesis that NY was getting direct sunlight. When it is giving direct sunlight, it's probably the season summer. As you can see by looking at the chart, NY started off with 78 degrees, and ended up with 89. As for the Equator, it was average, It started of as 78 like NY and ended with 83. So NY was getting the direct sunlight or more light than the equator. When New York has a high temperature it means that the earth is tilting in a way that New York is facing the sun. Making it so the sun can hit the earth with its light in a direct way. The earth has low temperature it means that the earth is tilting in a way that the sun is facing away from that area.

Questions- 1)How does the earth's tilt lead to warmer temperatures the summer months? It all depends on how the earth tilt is place. Its a huge change if the earth wasnt tilted. The earth tilt affect the warm temperature because one spot may get direct sunlight, and one spot may be really cold and be getting indirect sunlight and because of earth tilt, the sun will be directing better. The tilt of the earth means the earth will lean towards the sun (Summer) or lean away from the Sun. 2) How does seasonal patters be different if the earth were not titled? Earth would not have seasons if there no tilt. We experience seasons because of the tilt in earth's axis. During the North Hemisphere's period known as Summer, the Earth is actually farther away from the sun. If the earth were not "Tilted", there would be no unequal distibution of sunlight. There would be a dark side and a light side. The 2 quarters that are currently facing the sun are not receiving the same amount of sunlight. The axis tilts more towards on or the other. The globe is tilted more towards the sun on your side of the equator. It wont make sence because then one country will have summer all year long. 3) Describe 1 advantages and 1 disadvantages of using models to explain the reasons for the season One advantage is we get to picture how it would look like. With out this model, I would no clue what indirect or direct sunlight is. Also the model made me imagine how it actually looks like, because its not like we could see this live, we cant just go on a plane and see it, the model was very realistic. One dis-adventage is you would get the wrong picture because the sun is a billion times bigger then earth, if you look at the model, the earth is MUCH bigger than the light bulb. Also the lightbulb isn't as powerfull as the sun so the person who is doing the model will get a wrong picture of how it looks like.
