Question

The following image shows____________. 
Eccentricity of earth's orbit. | Download Scientific Diagram

  1. Eccentricity 
  2. Obliquity 
  3. Precession 
  4. Equator 

hintHint:

Eccentricity

The correct answer is: Eccentricity 


    • Eccentricity measures how much the shape of Earth's orbit departs from a perfect circle.
    • These variations affect the distance between Earth and the Sun.
    • So, the correct option is a.

    • Precession is defined as the slow change in the direction of Earth's rotational axis.
    • The angle of Earth's axis of rotation is tilted as it travels around the Sun is known as obliquity.

    What will happen if human impact of greenhouse gas is reduced? Changes in Earth's orbit, solar output, and other factors affect changes in the climate. Suppose if we removed the human impacts of greenhouse gas discharges what could be the climate doing currently on its own? 

    • If all the factors were removed then Earth will cool down drastically.
    • If human impacts of green house gases are increased and all other factors are workin then Earth will warm up.
