40. Why does Earth experience Winter?
The Earth’s pole tilts away from the sun, and part of it receives indirect light (colder) and less daylight hours.
41. Why does Earth experience summer?
The Earth’s pole tilts toward the sun, and part of it receives direct light (warmer) and more daylight hours.

25. 42. What happens on Earth during the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox?
Every place on Earth receives 12 hours daylight and 12 hours dark.
43. What happens to the number of daylight hours during the summer as you move from the equator to the North Pole?
The number of daylight hours increases.

36. 54. Explain how a lunar eclipse differs from a solar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the moon passes though Earth’s shadow because Earth is in between the Sun and the Moon.
