Which graph best represents the general relationship between latitude and average surface temperature?
TIME LATITUDE SEASONAL
TILT! DISTANCE!
The diagram shows a model of Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Letters A, B, C, and D representEarth’s position at the beginning of each season. In which orbital position would Earth be illuminated as shown? (1) A (3) C (2) B (4) D Viewed from above the North Pole.
In New York State, summer is warmer than winter because in summer New York has (1) fewer hours of daylight and receives low angle insolation (2) fewer hours of daylight and receives high angle insolation (3) more hours of daylight and receives low-angle insolation (4) more hours of daylight and receives high angle insolation
Earth’s tilt is always the same. • Tilt causes seasonal difference in insolation over 365.25 d revolution • DISTANCE TO SUN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
