Some of the constellations that are visible to New York State observers at midnight in December are different from the constellations that are visible at midnight in June because

Evidence that Earth revolves around the Sun is provided by the

Which diagram best represents a portion of the heliocentric model of the solar system? [S = Sun, E = Earth, and M = Moon]

The modern heliocentric model of planetary motion states that the planets travel around

Which characteristic of the planets in our solar system increases as the distance from the Sun increases?

The diagram below represents some constellations and one position of Earth in its orbit around the Sun. These constellations are visible to an observer on Earth at different times of the year.

When Earth is located in the orbital position shown, two constellations that are both visible to an observer on Earth at midnight are

The Foucault pendulum and the Coriolis effect both provide evidence of Earth's

The constellation Pisces changes position during a night, as shown in the diagram below.

Which motion is mainly responsible for this change in position?

Base your answer to the next question on the time-exposure photograph shown below. The photograph was taken by aiming a camera at a portion of the night sky above a New York State location and leaving the camera's shutter open for a period of time to record star trails.

During the time exposure of the photograph, the stars appear to have moved through an arc of 120°. How many hours did this time exposure take?

Base your answer to the next question on the time-exposure photograph shown below. The photograph was taken by aiming a camera at a portion of the night sky above a New York State location and leaving the camera's shutter open for a period of time to record star trails.

Which celestial object is shown in the photograph near the center of the star trails?

Seasonal changes on Earth are primarily caused by the

Which observation is a direct result of changes in distance between Earth and the Sun?

An observer on Earth measures the angle of sight between Venus and the setting Sun.

Base your answer to the question on the diagram, which represents the current locations of two planets, A and B, orbiting a star. Letter X indicates a position in the orbit of planet A. Numbers 1 through 4 indicate positions in the orbit of planet B.

If the diagram represents our solar system and planet B is Venus, which planet is represented by planet A?

Base your answer to the question on the diagram, which represents the current locations of two planets, A and B, orbiting a star. Letter X indicates a position in the orbit of planet A. Numbers 1 through 4 indicate positions in the orbit of planet B.

As planet A moves in orbit from its current location to position X, planet B most likely moves in orbit from its current location to position

The arrows in the diagram below show changes in the direction of surface winds at four lettered locations, A, B, C, and D, on Earth.

The arrow at which location correctly shows a deflection of the wind that could be due to the Coriolis effect?

The diagram below represents a total solar eclipse as seen from Earth.

The diagram below represents a total solar eclipse as seen from Earth.Which diagram correctly represents the relative positions of the Sun (S), Earth (E), and the Moon (M) in space during a total solar eclipse? [The diagrams are not drawn to scale.]

The diagram below shows the relative positions of the Sun, the Moon, and Earth when an eclipse was observed from Earth. Positions A and B are locations on Earth's surface

Which statement correctly describes the type of eclipse that was occurring and the position on Earth where this eclipse was observed?

Which graph best represents the change in gravitational attraction between the Sun and a comet as the distance between them increases?

The diagram below represents the constellation Lyra.

Which statement best explains why Lyra is visible to an observer in New York State at midnight in July but not visible at midnight in December?

In each diagram below, the mass of the star is the same. In which diagram is the force of gravity greatest between the star and the planet shown?

Earth is farthest from the Sun during the Northern Hemisphere's summer, and Earth is closest to the Sun during the Northern Hemispheres winter. During which season in the Northern Hemisphere is Earth's orbital velocity greatest?

The diagram below represents eight positions of the Moon in its orbit.

Why are high tides on Earth greatest when the Moon is in position A and in position E?

Earth's planetary winds curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere due to

The graph below shows the change in tide heights of the Hudson River at Newburgh, New York.

According to the graph, the time difference between high tide and the next low tide is approximately

The diagram below shows four positions of a planet in its orbit around the Sun.

At which position is the planet's orbital speed greatest?

The diagram below represents eight positions of the Moon in its orbit.

What moon phase would the moon appear to be in at position H?
