There would be no seasons at all, because each part of Earth would receive the same amount of sun all year
What would happen to the seasons if Earth's axis of rotation was not tilted? Why?
300
What is neap tide
The Sun and Moon pull on Earth's oceans from different directions during this
300
False - shows a solar eclipse
T/F A picture of the Sun, Moon, then Earth. This shows a lunar eclipse
