The Sun on the right is shining on the four planets to the left. Each planet has an axis of rotation that is tilted a different amount. The equator is always perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Each planet rotates around the axis of rotation in one day. The "X"s are the same distance from the equator. Which “X” would have the coldest winters? The image displays a series of four illustrations depicting a planet's axial tilt relative to incoming sunlight from the Sun, along with descriptions for each tilt position.### Diagram Overview:1. **A. Tilt 0°:** - The planet's axis of rotation is perpendicular to its orbit, with no tilt. The equator is shown as a horizontal line. The sunlight is evenly distributed across the planet's surface.2. **B. Tilt 23°:** - The axis of rotation is tilted at a 23-degree angle. This is similar to Earth's axial tilt. The equator line shows a slight inclination, depicting how different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight.3. **C. Tilt 45°:** - The axis of rotation is tilted at a 45-degree angle. The equator is more steeply inclined, indicating a more significant variation in sunlight distribution across the planet's surface.4. **D. Tilt 90°:** - The planet is shown with a 90-degree tilt, making the axis of rotation parallel to the direction of sunlight. The equator is vertical, creating an extreme variation in sunlight exposure.### Sunlight Representation:- On the right side, a sun is illustrated with arrows showing the direction of sunlight as it hits each of the planets. The arrows emphasize how the angle of tilt affects the amount and distribution of sunlight on the planet's surface.These diagrams help explain how axial tilt influences seasonal changes and sunlight exposure on planetary bodies.

QUESTION 1 Estimate The Temperature For A Planet In Other Solar System (Questions 1-3) Let us assume scientists just discovered a planet orbiting a star in an extra-solar system. The star has a surface temperature Ts = 10000 Kelvins and a radius Sr = 1x109 meters. Scientists also measured the distance (D) between the star and the planet as D = 2 AU - 3.0x1011 meters. The solar power per unit area from the star's surface (Ps) can be calculated from the star's surface temperature Ts (10000 Kelvins) by the Stefen-Boltzman law Ps=0(Ts)4, where o is Stefen-Boltzman constant (5.67 x 10-8 Watt/meter2/Kelvin4). What is the solar power per unit area from the star's surface (Ps)? O Ps ~ 2.87 x 108 Watt/meter2 O Ps ~ 5.67 x 108 Watt/meter2 O O Ps ~ 2.87 x 10 Watt/meter2 Watt/meter² Ps ~ 5.67 x 10⁹ QUESTION 2 The solar power (Ps) decreases from the star's surface to the distance at the planet.
