Explain why we observe the seasons in the Northern Hemisphere.
Summer - Earth is titled towards the Sun and receives direct sunlight
Winter - Earth is tilted away from Sun and energy is dispersed over a larger area.
A central air-conditioner uses 3500W of electricity. If electricity costs $0.087/ kW*h. Calculate how much it would cost to operate the air-conditioner 24 hours a day for 4 months (120 days).
$876.96

Is Star A moving towards or away from us? Is Star B moving towards or away from us?
Star A is moving away from us because it is red-shifted
Star B is moving towards us because it is blue-shifted
