Arecent survey of college graduates at many universities including harvard indicate that despite the correct textbook and lecture lessons regarding the cause of the seasons, students retain the misconception that seasons are caused by the variation in distance between earth and the sun (i. e., perihelion and aphelion). explain why distance between the earth and sun does not generate seasons. why do you think this misconception is persistent?

Answer and Explanation:

This misinterpretation about occasional variety is predominantly due to the reason that they overlook what they have realized in school period or a significant number of the understudies have not gone to that course/address in their school and henceforth they use their common sense about their experience of different seasons and how they see or feel them.

A significant number of the understudies think about the Sun's development from Southern half of the globe to Northern side of the equator yet they overlook that Earth is tilted without anyone else hub and because of tilted hub, the approaching sun beams have various points and this is the fundamental explanation of Earth's regular variety.  

Consequently,  this misguided judgment will persevere for a forthcoming age until we make an overall battle on the variety of Seasons on the Earth and make youth, guardians and youngsters' make mindful of it.  

Once in a while, youngsters get falsehood from their folks and seniors on such kind of logical and geographic data. It is on the grounds that guardians are likewise not plainly mindful of this kind of information. Consequently, we have to do some social crusade or exercise to make young people mindful of it.
