61. “Big Points” Question Show Answer 302928272625242322212019181716151413121110987654321 How would seasons, tides, and eclipses be affected if Earth was further from the sun?

62. Big Points Back to Board Seasons – we would still have seasons because of the Earth’s tilt. If we were further from the sun the temperatures during those seasons would be colder Tides – we would still have a high tide and a low tide every day (twice a day) but the tidal range would be a little smaller because the gravity from the sun also affects tides Eclipses – We would still have eclipses.
