The summer is caused by __________.

Which phrase best completes the sentence?


Earth's far distance from the sun


direct sunlight striking Earth


Earth's closeness to the sun


indirect sunlight striking Earth

Respuesta :

Answer:

direct sunlight striking earth

Explanation:

The seasons are caused by Earth's axis of rotation. The poles are farther away from the direct beam of sunlight, so they are normally much colder than the equator.

When a part of the globe is in direct sunlight, it gets hotter, logically, and we call that season summer.
