The Earth rotates around the Earth at a speed of 67,000 miles per hour. The Earth also sits at a angle of about 23.5 degrees, as a result, the two hemispheres receive direct sunlight at different times of the year. The exact moment in which summer and winter occur are called solstices.

The other seasons are called equinoxes due to the fact that both day and night are equal on these dates.

End QARs The start of the summer and winter seasons are known as what? The start of the spring and fall seasons are known as what?

The Earth is primarily made up of 5 layers. The top layer is the layer we live on which is known as the crust. The next layers are the upper and lower mantle, and the outer and inner core.

The Earth’s crust is not one solid piece, it is actually made up of many different tectonic plates. The movement of plates has created the continents we have now, which is called continental drift.

End QARs How many primary layers are there on Earth? The continents are located on moving plates called what? When the plates on Earth move, what is it called?
