Axial Tilt Astronomy Quiz

• The angle between the orbital plane and the line through the North and South Poles
• The angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis (correct)
• The angle between the rotational axis and the equatorial plane
• The angle between the equatorial plane and the orbital plane

• The two axes point in the same direction (correct)
• The object's orbit becomes perfectly circular
• The equatorial plane aligns with the orbital plane
• The rotational axis is perpendicular to the orbital plane

• The rotational axis passes through the North and South Poles, while the orbital axis is perpendicular to the plane of Earth's orbit (correct)
• The rotational axis aligns with the orbital plane, causing day and night
• The equatorial plane aligns with the orbital plane, causing the four seasons
• The axial tilt causes the Earth to wobble on its axis
