SUCH AN INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT THAT IT JUST SOFTENS THE WINTER AND SUMMER TEMPERATURES IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. THE REASON IS BECAUSE THE EARTH IS CLOSEST TO THE SUN IN JANUARY.

What evidence is there that distance from the sun is not a cause of the seasons?
It is the tilting of the Earth on its axis that causes the seasons, not the distance from the Sun.
How are earths seasons caused?
Earths seasons are caused by the relative position of the earth to the sun. Since the earth rotates around the sun in an elliptical pattern, sometimes it is closer to the sun than others. This explains summer/winter, etc...
What causes use to have seasons?
the earths tilt and the orbit around the sun
Which of these do not contribute to changing seasons?
distance between the earth and sun
Describe how the seasons are related to earths orbit around the sun?
the season change as the amount of energy each hemisphere receives from the sun changes
Why doesn't the distance between the earth and sun affect the seasons?
It does affect the seasons...
Why isn't the change in earths distance from the sun enough to cause thr seasons?
its to far away
Why is the earths seasons changed?
The seasons change NOT because the Earth rotates, but because of our revelution around the sun. It is summer when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. the seasons have nothing to do with the distance to the sun. the Eath is closest to the sun in winter.
What if the earths orbit aroud the sun was circular and not elliptical?
Not much would change. Note that the seasons are NOT related to changes in the distance from the Sun.
Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
Why does the distance form the earth to sun determine the seasons?
because the earths axis is tilted because im amazing..........balls
How does the Earth's varying distance from the Sun affect our seasons?
It affects are seasons because since the earth is tillted they get a diffrent amount of warmth
Does the sun's revolutions cause the seasons.?
no. the earths orbit cause the seasons
How earths distance from the sun change throughout the year?
how does earths distance from the sun change throughout the year
What evidence is there that distance from the sun is not a cause of the seasons?
It is the tilting of the Earth on its axis that causes the seasons, not the distance from the Sun.
What evidence is there that the distance of the sun is not the cause of the seasons?
It is the tilting of the Earth on its axis that causes the seasons, not the distance from the Sun.
Why isnt the change in earths distance from the sun enough to cause the seasons?
The change in distance is not very significant. Note that when it is Summer in the northern hemisphere, it is Winter in the south, and vice versa. This has nothing to do with the distance from the Sun, which is practically the same for North and South.
