Describe the position of the earth in relation to the sun during winter in the Northern Hemisphere?

Winter is colder than Summer because the angle of the earth toward the Sun. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun during the northern Hemisphere winter but the hemisphere is angled way and gets less direct light.

Where does hail form in relation to a tornado?
Hail most often occurs ahead of the tornado but it also frequently found in the hook of the storm, which wraps around behind and to the left of the tornado (with respect to its movement) in the northern hemisphere and to the right of it in the southern hemisphere.
What season is it when the southern part of the earth is tilted towards the sun?
If you're in the southern hemisphere, then it is Summer when the southern part of the earth is tilted towards the sun. If you're in the northern hemisphere, it is Winter at that time.
How do you determine where you are in relation to current wind fields during hurricane?
If the hurricane is the main influence on the wind fields in your area, turn with your back to the wind. The center of the hurricane will be to your left. The same goes for other low pressure systems in the northern hemisphere as well.
How does distance from the sun affect the climate of the earth?
The further away the Earth is from the Sun, the less insolaration (energy from the Sun). The Earth's southern hemisphere is closer to the sun during the time the Sun is higher in the sky (due to the 23° tilt of the axis) and so the southern warmest months are hotter than the northern hemisphere's warmest months. The greater surface area of water in the southern hemisphere helps mitigate (lessen) this effect. The further away the Earth is from the Sun, the slower the orbital speed (Keplers law of motion) so the northern hemisphere's summer is longer than it's winter.
Describe the position of the earth in relation to the sun in the winter and summer for the Northern Hemisphere?
The earth's axis of rotation is tilted relative to the Sun by about 23 degrees. As the earth circles the sun, spinning, the tilted axis keeps pointing to the same spot... roughly toward the star Polaris.During summer, the north pole is pointing 23 degrees toward the Sun... this means that the Sun is higher in the sky in the temperate latitudes, and the Suns rays are concentrated on a smaller area of lang.During winter the pole is tilted 23 degrees AWAY form the Sun, and the SUn is lower in the sky, and its light is therefore spread over a much larger area from a lower angle.In summer the energy input for the sun is high, in winter it is very low.

Why does Africa have winter during Americas summer?
It is due to the tilting of the earth. When the northern hemisphere tilts toward the sun, the southern hemisphere tilts away. Since the northern hemisphere will be hit more directly by the Sun's rays, the weather will be warmer. The southern hemisphere will then experience cold weather since the Sun's rays will not be hitting as much. It will work the opposite way once the earth rotates around the Sun as the tilting position will be changing in relation to the Sun.
Where is the northern hemisphere in relation to the sun when it is in the southern hemisphere?
In summer, the N. Hemisphere is oriented toward the Sun, while the S. Hemisphere is oriented away. In the winter, the opposite is true. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun in the N. Hemisphere Winter than in the Summer.

Where is the northern hemisphere in relation to the sun when it is the summer in the southern hemisphere?
In summer, the N. Hemisphere is oriented toward the Sun, while the S. Hemisphere is oriented away. In the winter, the opposite is true. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun in the N. Hemisphere Winter than in the Summer.
Where is the Southern hemisphere in Relation to the sun when its summer in the northern hemisphere?
In summer, the N. Hemisphere is oriented toward the Sun, while the S. Hemisphere is oriented away. In the winter, the opposite is true. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun in the N. Hemisphere Winter than in the Summer.
Where is the southern hemisphere in the relation to the sun when it is summer in the northern hemisphere?
In summer, the N. Hemisphere is oriented toward the Sun, while the S. Hemisphere is oriented away. In the winter, the opposite is true. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun in the N. Hemisphere Winter than in the Summer.
Where is the southern hemisphere in relation to the sun when it is summer in the northern hemisphere?
