What else can I help you with?
Two reasons for seasons?
1. Tilt of earths axis 2. Earths axis remains parallel throughout its yearly orbit.
Is the earths axis rotation almost parallel to the plane of its orbit?
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
Why do the hours of daylight increase in the summer?
The earths rotational axis is tilted approx. 23 degrees from vertical The earths rotational axis remains parallel throughout its rotation around the sun, high summer (longest day) in the northern hemisphere, is when the top of the axis is at full tilt toward the sun. (shortest day in the southern hemisphere)
What is parallel in geography?
In geography, "parallel" usually refers to lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator. These lines help in locating places on Earth's surface in relation to the equator. They are used to measure distances north or south of the equator.
What does Earths magnetic axis do not do with its rotational axis?
intersect
The line y equals -2.5 is parallel to what axis?
y=-2.5 is parallel to the x axis. The equation of the x axis is y=0
What line is parallel to the y-axis?
Any line with the equation [ x = any number ] is parallel to the y-axis.
What is the slope of a line that is parrel to the y- axis?
The slope (or gradient) if the line is parallel to the y-axis, is infinite. If it's parallel to the x-axis the slope is zero.
What is a straight line parallel to an axis called?
It's called an ORDINATE. when there is a straight line 100% parallel to the x axis, it's slope is 0. If a line is parallel to the y axis, its slope is undefined, or infinite.
Which equation represents a line parallel to the x axis?
[ y = plus or minus any number ] is parallel to the x-axis.
Is y equals -2 a parallel line or a perpendicular line?
y=-2 is parallel to the x-axis and perpendicular to the y-axis.
How long is the earths axis?
About 8,000 miles.
