Earths axial tilt
Select the answer using the code below:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Answer : b
Explanation
Auroras Also known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis) which seen in the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere respectively.
The causes for northern & southern lights –
The Sun continuously produces an outflow of charged particles into the solar system known as the solar wind.
When the solar wind reaches Earth, it can interact with Earth’s magnetic shield, often depositing and accumulating energy there.
When this energy is finally released, much of it rains down on our atmosphere, causing northern & southern lights.
So, 1 and 2 are correct.
Earth’s axial tilt is not so significant factor causing auroras. It is responsible factor for causing seasons on earth. So 3 is incorrect.
