A) Rotation refers to Earth's spinning on its axis, and revolution refers to Earth's spinning around the Sun. B) Rotation refers to Earth's spinning on its equator, and revolution refers to Earth's spinning around the solar system. C) Revolution refers to Earth's spinning on its axis, and rotation refers to Earth's spinning around the Sun. D) Revolution refers to Earth's spinning on its axis, and rotation refers to Earth's changing seasons. 8.
A) because Earth's atmosphere changes the color of the Sun's light B) because the Moon receives direct sunlight from the Sun during a lunar eclipse. C) because Earth's atmosphere intensifies the Sun's light onto the Moon D) because Earth's atmosphere bends the Sun's light onto the Moon 9.
A) Earth's orbit is an ellipse - an elongated, closed curve - so the distance sometimes changes. B) Earth's orbit is an ellipse - an elongated, closed curve - but the change in distance from the Sun is only an optical illusion. C) Earth's orbit is a circle, so the distance never changes. D) Earth's orbit is a circle, so the distance sometimes changes. 10.

A) Earth's axis is the imaginary vertical line that separates the eastern and western hemispheres. B) Earth's axis is the imaginary line around which Earth spins. C) Earth's axis is the imaginary horizontal line that separates the northern and southern hemispheres. D) Earth's axis is the imaginary line around which Earth spins around the Sun. 13.

A) the Moon, Earth's B) Earth, the Sun's C) the Sun, Earth's D) Earth, the Moon's 15.
A) The change in distance is actually minimal. Earth's tilted axis is the real cause of seasons on Earth. B) Even though Earth's orbit is an ellipse, the change in distance from the Sun is only an optical illusion. C) The change in distance occurs at the same time as the seasons, so we don't notice the change. D) The change in distance is the real cause of seasons on Earth. 16.
