Q

Explain how we have seasons on earth.

A

The earth’s spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons. When the earth’s axis points towards the sun, it is summer for that hemisphere. When the earth’s axis points away, winter can be expected.

Q

What is the Thermosphere?

A

Located between about 80 and 700 kilometers above Earth’s surface. Also known as upper atmosphere. The gases in this sphere are extremely thin. But they still become denser as you descend towards earth. The high energy of ultraviolet and x-ray radiation from the sun are absorbed by molecules in this layer and causing a significant temperature increase. The sphere is cloud-free and water vapor free.
