The earth isn't perfectly straight up and down. It leans on an axis. So in the Northern Hemisphere between May-August tilts towards the sun and the Southern Hemisphere tilts away from the sun. This causes summer in the Northern Hemisphere because being closer to the sun helps to increase the temperature on Earth and the southern hemisphere experieces winter due to being farther from the sun. The opposite is true for winter in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

Why is it dark in the winter and light in the summer?

You need to rephrase your question. It's not dark at midday in the winter, unless you happen to be in polar regions! You mean why is the daylength less in winter than summer. It's because the Earth is cocked over slightly compared with its route around the Sun. So in winter, it leans away from the Sun so gets less light than in summer.


Are the stars in the winter sky dimmer than in summer?

The brightness of stars in the winter sky compared to the summer sky can vary, but generally, the stars visible in winter are not inherently dimmer. Instead, winter skies often feature brighter constellations, such as Orion and Taurus, which can make the winter sky appear more vibrant. Additionally, atmospheric conditions and light pollution can affect visibility, but the stars themselves do not change brightness seasonally.

Egg production will drop based on the hours of light the chicken receives. For optimum performance, a hen needs at least 14 hours of light per day either natural or artificial. In the winter, keep a light on in the chicken coop to make up the difference between natural summer light and natural winter light.

How do you reset tpms light on 2008 Honda accord ex-l navi v6 at?

When I change my summer wheels to winter hweels , the light went on. When I put back the summer wheels the system must of detected the sensors angain and the light went off. You might have a malfuction in one of the sensors. If you install a new sensor , it must be re-programed into you main computer.I have sensors on both my winter wheels and summer wheels.Everytime I change wheels , I must re-program the sensors.HONDA can do this for a price. The machine to calibrate the sensors is very expensive and not all repair shops have it. Hope this helps Ralph
