If the rate of precession were doubled, how would the seasons in the northern hemisphere be affected? a. the dates of the solstices shift more slowly, and there would be more daylight in the winter. b. the dates of the solstices shift more slowly, and there would be less daylight in the winter. c. the dates of the solstices shift more quickly, and there would be more daylight in the winter. d. the dates of the solstices shift more quickly, and there would be less daylight in the winter.

C. The dates of the solstices shift more quickly, and there would be more daylight in the winter.

Explanation:

The rate of precession can be defined as the rate at which a rotational body( for example the Earth) rotates or moves unsteadily about its axis and this leads to a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of the Earth (rotational body).

The rate of precession occurs due to the pull of gravitation by the Sun and the Moon on the Earth.

If the rate of precession were doubled, the seasons in the Northern Hemisphere be affected because the dates of the solstices shift more quickly, and there would be more daylight in the winter.
