5. Each year, Earth complete one revolution around the Sun.
6. In June, the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun, so sunlight hits the Northern Hemisphere at a steeper angle.
7. In summer, light is more intense than it is in winter.
8. In December, the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun, so sunlight hits the Northern Hemisphere at a low angle.
9. When it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
10. In Northern Alaska, summer nights are short but during winter the sun hardly appears.
11. The Sun rises higher in the sky in summer than it does in winter.
12. Near the equator, the Sun’s apparent path changes less during the year than at higher latitudes.
13. The Sun’s path repeats itself every year, so it is possible to predict the time the sun will rise and set.
14. If the Earth rotated and revolved in the opposite direction, the Sun would rise in the west and set in the east. However, the seasons would follow in the same order.
Exit Question What do you think would be different if Earth rotated and revolved in the opposite direction? What would stay the same? Share your answer with a partner.
