2.Collect data: Set the Axis angleto -80°and click Fire. Record the Number of hits. Repeat for each angle and fill in the tables below. You can use the slider or type the number into the text field directly and click Enteron your keyboard. (Note that “0°” appears in both tables.)Axis angleHits-80°-60°-40°-20°0°Axis angleHits0°20°40°60°80°3.Analyze: What is the relationship between the axis angle and the number ofsolarrays that hit the plate? 4.Interpret: Select the GRAPH tab. Whatdoes the graph show? 5.Apply: At what angle will the plate get the hottest? 6.Extend your thinking: The plate is a model for how sunlight hits Earth’s surface. A.Which parts of Earth are most similar to the plate with an axis angle of 0°? Explain. B.Which parts of Earth are most similar to the plate with an axis angle of 80°? 2019Activity B: Sunlight on EarthGet the Gizmo ready:Select the EARTH tab on the left and the DESCRIPTION tab on the right.Check that the Axis angleis set to 0 degrees. Question: What causes seasons on Earth?1.Predict: Look at the image of Earth (not to scale). Plate Ais located atthe North Pole, and plate Gis located atthe South Pole. Plates Dand Jare located at the equator. A. Of the plates that are facing the Sun (plates A through G), which ones will receive the most solar energy? B. Which of plates A through G will receive the least? 2.Check: Click Fire. Select the TABLE tab to see how many rays hit each plate. A.Whichplate got the most sunlight? The least? B. Why is it colder at the poles than at the equator? 3.Set up Gizmo: Click Reset, and turn on Show axis. Earth’s axisis an imaginary line that connects the North Pole to the South Pole. Earth spins around its axis, which is tilted relative toEarth’s orbit. Click Earth axis angleto set the axis angle to a realistic 23°. 4.Collect data: Onthe DESCRIPTION pane, check that Time Ais selected. Click Fire. Select the TABLE pane to see the results, and fill in the left table below. Click Reset, and on the DESCRIPTION pane select Time A + 6 months. Click Fireand fill in the right table. Time ATime A + 6 (Activity Bcontinuedon next page) 2019Activity B(continuedfrom previous page)5.Analyze: Plates A, B, and Call lie in the northern hemisphere, the half of Earth north of the equator. Plates E, F, and Gall lie in the southern hemisphere, south of the equator. A.Which hemisphere gets more direct sunlight at Time A? B. Which hemisphere gets more sunlight at TimeA + 6 months? 6.Interpret: Plate Bis a typical northern hemisphere location, and plate Fis a typical southern hemisphere location. Circle the answer to each question below. A.On plateB, which season is Time A?Start of summerStart of winterB. On B, which season is Time A + 6 months? Start of summerStart of winterC. On F, which season is Time A? Start of summerStart of winterD. On F, which season is Time A + 6 months? Start of summerStart of winterE. In general, how are seasons in thenorthern hemisphere related to seasons in the southern hemisphere? 7.Apply: December 21 and June 21 are important dates called solstices. The winter solsticeis the shortest day of the year. The summer solsticeis the longest day of the year. A. Which date does Time Arepresent?June 21December 21This dateis the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, and the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere. B.Which date does Time A + 6 monthsrepresent?June 21December 21This dateis the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, and the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere.8.Summarize: Based on what you have seen, what causes the seasons?
