Q: 4 characteristics of the Earth that influence its relationship with the sun
Answer:
Rotation
Revolution
Axial Tilt
Curvature of Earth
Q: Rotation
Answer:
1 Rotation every 24 hours; rotation influences daily (diurnal) rhythms
Example: light, temperature tides (lunar day), humidity
Q: Revolution
Answer:
1 revolution every 365.25 days; movement of earth around sun and its elliptical
orbit

Q: Perihelion
Answer:
Jan 3; closest to sun
Q: Aphelion
Answer:
July 3; furthest from sun
Q: Axial tilt
Answer:
23.5 degrees; resulted from collision w/ large body
Q: Curvature of Earth
Answer:
Bea, spreading and depletion

Q: Beam Spreading
Answer:
sun's energy is dispersed over a larger area
more spread at poles more intense at equator
Q: Beam depletion
Answer:
Less direct sun angles mean the sun's energy must take a longer path
through the atmosphere, causing the energy that reaches the surface to be depleted;
weakened insolation at poles
Q: Cause for seasons
Answer:
the axial tilt,revolution, and curvature of the Earth all combine to produce
an annual cycle in both intensity (amount of beam spreading) and duration
(daylength) of
insolation

Q: How does daylength vary with season at varying latitudes
Answer:
earth's axis tilt at higher latitudes,
daylength changes more significantly, with longer days in summer and shorter days
in winter.
Near the poles, this variation is extreme, with continuous daylight or darkness during
certain
times of the year
Q: "declination"
Answer:
Latitude of the subsolar point
Q: Migration of declination
Answer:
Jun 21- 23.5 degrees N
Dec 21- 23.5 degrees S
