    • Winter going into Spring

    • Summer

    • Winter

    • Autumn

    • Spring

    Correct Answer
    A. Winter
    Explanation
    When the Southern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it is winter for the Northern hemisphere. This is because the tilt of the Earth's axis causes one hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight while the other receives less. When the Southern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, the Northern hemisphere is tilted away, resulting in less sunlight and colder temperatures, which is characteristic of winter.

    • 87.5 Earth Days

    Correct Answer
    A. 88 Earth Days
    Explanation
    Mercury takes approximately 88 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun. This is because Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and has a shorter orbital period compared to other planets in our solar system. The gravitational pull of the Sun causes Mercury to move at a faster speed, resulting in a shorter orbital period.

    When the Northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun what season is it ?

    • Autumn

    • Spring

    • Winter

    • Summer going into Winter

    • Summer

    Correct Answer
    A. Summer
    Explanation
    When the Northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it experiences summer. This is because the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the Sun's rays to hit the Northern hemisphere at a more direct angle, resulting in longer days and warmer temperatures. This phenomenon occurs around June 21st, known as the summer solstice, in the Northern hemisphere.
