Color lines show Equinoxes and Solstice. What induces the seasons? How high is the sun over the year in different latitudes? And how would the situation change when the Earth's axis had a different slope?

An interactive simulation of Earth's seasonal dynamics that includes the axial tilt and other aspects of Earth's annual cycle. This is part of a larger lab from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln: http://astro.unl.edu/naap/motion1/motion1.html

An interactive that illustrates the relationships between the axial tilt of the Earth, latitude, and temperature. Several data sets (including temperature, Sun-Earth distance, daylight hours) can be generated.

This is an educational model of the Sun, Earth, and Earth's orbit to illustrate and clarify why and when seasons change. The reason seasons exist is Earth's orbital tilt, i.e. its axis tilt of about 23,5 degrees to the plane in which it orbits the Sun (ecliptic plane).

Jan 22, 2022 · This animated map by Eleanor Lutz visualizes Earth’s seasons, showing how the temperature changes impact ice levels in the Arctic as well as vegetation more broadly. It also highlights the cloud cover and sunlight each hemisphere receives throughout the year, with each frame in the animation representing a month of time.

This resource is a simulation of Earth orbiting the sun that can be used to teach about the seasons. Students will need some computer skills if they are going to manipulate the model themselves. They would also benefit from background …

After students have been to each of the four dates: December 21, March 21, June 21, and September 21, they’ll have modeled a year: one earth revolution around the sun. What’s Going On? Many people think the seasons are caused by variations in our distance from the sun.

The Earth is tilted on its orbit. This causes an unequal amount of sunshine to fall in different parts of the planet during the course of a year, and this is responsible for the seasons. You can use this animation to illustrate the variations in the length of daylight, and the …

This set allows students to demonstrate the seasons by changing the angle of sunlight striking Earth's surface. It includes 5 lines; the Equator, the Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, the Arctic Circle, and Antarctic Circle.

Sep 26, 2023 · How to Teach Modeling the Seasons to your Earth Science Class by creating models that demonstrate how the different seasons occur.
