You should have pasted the Sun on one of the plus marks (foci) in the middle of Earth's orbit. What is located at the other plus sign?(And it's not the moon!)
-
Nothing. Only the one focus is filled. That is why the Earth moves faster in the winter months (winter for northern hemisphere). Because believe it or not, the Earth is closer to the sun in September thru March. It's a common misconception that it's warm in the summer in the north becasue we're closer to the sun. So, due to the forces of gravity, during the months of Sep. thru March, the earth moves faster, proving that only one focus is filled.
-
Nothing. The other focus of the Earth's orbital ellipse is empty.
Not sure why this is so hard, its probably the first thing we learned about planetary orbits in Grade 5 science.
