Essay

Refer to the figure.

- You are one of a team of scientists studying a newly-discovered planet. You are receiving data from a probe that was landed on the planet by an unmanned mission. Your team is working with the little data you have from the probe to learn as much as you can about the planet's basic characteristics. The figure illustrates data collected by the probe at the same location on the planet during what you suspect are two different seasons (season A and season B). Create a hypothesis about the shape of the planet's orbit, and describe how the data supports your hypothesis.
