How would the absence of tilt on a planet affect the distinct changes in the angle of sunlight?

There would be no specific days marking the beginning of spring, summer, fall, or winter

There would be more distinct changes in the angle of sunlight

There would be no changes in the amount of daylight

There would be longer days and shorter nights

How does the tilt of a planet's axis impact the amount of daylight experienced in different parts of the planet?

It results in varying amounts of daylight in different parts of the planet

It has no impact on the amount of daylight

It causes equal daylight across the entire planet

It only affects the temperature of the planet

In the NASA Juno Mission to Jupiter, a microwave radiometer was used to measure hydrogen in Jupiter's atmosphere. Mark all that apply.

Microwaves are invisible forms of light and less harmful than gamma radiation.

Hydrogen emits visible and invisibe light.

Scientists can infer the amount of water in Jupiters atmosphere by detecting hydrogen emissions with this device.

Microwaves cannot tell us anything about water on other planets.
