Is flying in winter safe?
Flying in winter is as safe as flying in the summer months. There are some additional concerns, such as ice on the wings and ice on runways. There are also fewer travellers and this means fewer aircraft flying around, and presumably less chances they can bump into each other.
Why do pine trees grow faster in summer than in winter?
Biochemistry, light, temperature and water describe why pine trees grow faster in summer than in winter. Reduced daylight, moisture, nutrients and temperature slow sunlit interactions down so that fewer sugars are made for such life-sustaining activities as photosynthesis and respiration in winter. Summer supports growth because of the abundant moisture, high-angled sun and warm temperatures activating enzymes while winter tends to be a time for pine trees to break down and remake proteins, maintain cell membranes and recycle magnesium, nitrogen and phosphates.
What would happen if the Earth received less energy from the Sun?

Where do narwhal migrate?
Narwhals migrate to the shallower of the Arctic waters in summer. There, the aquatic fare is plenteous and easy to chase. But the pickings are fewer with the end of the summer season. So narwhals migrate to the deeper of the Arctic waters in winter. There, the aquatic fare requires deep diving in order to be caught and eaten.
Why does daylight get shorter in the winter?
In the Northern Hemisphere daylight gets shorter in the winter. This is because the earth is tilted and in winter the sun takes a shorter amount of time for it to cross the sky resulting in shorter days. In summer, the earth is tilted more towards the sun and the path for it to cross is longer.
Is the northern hemisphere closer to the sun in the summer?
yes because the northern hemisphere is more winter than the sothern NO. The earth's orbit is eliptical. Earth is closer in winter, but the tilt of the earth on its axis creates less effective heating due to a greater slant of the rays hitting the northern hemisphere but an even greater effect is that the amount of day time changes from a maximum of about 14 hours in summer to a minimum of about 10 hours in winter. Fewer hours for the sun to warm the earth during winter.
When is the cheapest time of year to fly from London to New York?
Generally, the cheapest time to fly to New Zealand is during New Zealand's summer.
