What are the natural causes of orbital change?
Orbital
changes include natural causes.
View source
What is the significance of Earth's orbit around the sun?
It affects
climate
and seasonal changes.
View source
What type of change occurs in Earth's orbit?
Earth's orbit changes from
circular
to
elliptical
.
View source
How does the distribution of Earth's head affect its orbit?
It
influences
the
shape
of
the
orbit.
View source
What happens to Earth's orbit when it is elliptical?
It becomes
warmer
during certain periods.
View source
What is the axial tilt of the Earth?
The Earth
tilts
towards
or
away
from the
Sun.
View source
What is the angle of Earth's axial tilt towards the Sun?
27.5°
to
24.3°
.
View source
How does axial tilt affect temperature?
It causes warmer temperatures when
tilted
towards the Sun.
View source
What happens when Earth tilts away from the Sun?
It results in cooler
temperatures
.
View source
How often does Earth wobble on its axis?
Every
26,000
years.
View source
What effect does Earth's wobble have on climate?
It affects
long-term
climate patterns.
View source
What are sunspots?
Dark
patches
on
the
Sun's
surface.
View source
How often do sunspots develop?
Every
11 years
.
View source
What is the effect of sunspots on temperature?
They increase temperatures on
Earth.
View source
What are volcanic eruptions known to do?
They can block
sunlight
from reaching Earth.
View source
How do volcanic eruptions affect temperatures?
They cause cooler temperatures due to
ash
.
View source
What is the impact of volcanic ash on sunlight?
It blocks sunlight from reaching
Earth
.
View source
What happens to temperatures during volcanic winters?
Temperatures become
cooler
.
View source
What are the natural causes of orbital change?
Natural causes include
Earth's
orbit changes.
View source
How does Earth's axial tilt affect climate?
It influences
temperature variations
throughout the year.
View source
What is the effect of sunspots on Earth's temperature?
Sunspots can
increase
Earth's temperatures.
View source
How do volcanic eruptions impact climate?
They can lead to cooler temperatures due to
ash
.
