Is the south end of Earth's axis tilted toward the sun in march?
The 'equinoxes' occur in March and September. At those times, neither pole is tilted toward or away from the sun. At the time of the June solstice, the north pole reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, whereas at the time of the December solstice, the south pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun.
Why does it stay light 24 hours a day in the tundra in the middle of July?
The earth is tilted on its axis and revolves around the sun. In July the earth is tilted toward the sun so that the north pole stays in the sun all the time as the earth rotates. In the winter the earth is tilted away from sun and the north pole stays dark all the time.
How does the south pole have 24 hours of dayligt?
The Earth is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit, so that only on the equinox days (usually March 20 and September 23) do both poles experience a short period when both can have sun. The pole that is angled away from the Sun will have no daylight, while the one angled toward the Sun will have continual daylight -- although the Sun just circles the horizon and never goes very high into the sky. So from around September 23 to March 20, the South Pole has 6 months of daylight, 24 hours a day. The exact length is about 4383 hours.
Is the North Pole or the South Pole snowy?
yes although the Magnetic North Pole is not.
Why does location change day length?
It's because the Earth's axis is tilted. If the axis were perpendicular to the orbit, daylight would last 12 hours every day, pretty well everywhere on Earth. Because the Earth's axis is tilted the amount of daylight depends on the latitude. Try to visualize the Earth rotating around its axis; when the north pole points away from the Sun, the Sun is always below the horizon from the point of view of somebody at the north pole. For somebody at the south pole, the Sun will always be above the horizon (at that time of the year). For locations in between, the days get longer and longer as you move - in this example - from the north pole towards the south pole.

What season is it when the North Pole is tilted almost directly toward the sun on June 21?
In June, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth. So I'd assume that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun at that time, and that would probably occur because the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during June. In fact, the Summer Solstice is in the middle of June somewhere.
What happens during midwinter when the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun?
When it is winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere. The North Pole is tilted away from the Sun in December. (That means that the Northern Hemisphere is also tilted away from the Sun in December.)
In which direction does the earth tilt around June 21?
Around that time, earth's north pole is tilted toward the sun. This is also around the time that the earth is farthest from the sun.
Why does it stay light 24 hours a day in the tundra in the middle of July?
The earth is tilted on its axis and revolves around the sun. In July the earth is tilted toward the sun so that the north pole stays in the sun all the time as the earth rotates. In the winter the earth is tilted away from sun and the north pole stays dark all the time.
When its summer in the northern hemisphere what is in the southern hemisphere why?
WinterWhen the north end of the earths axis is tilted toward the sun, the northern hemisphere has summer. At the same time, the south end of earths axis is tilted away from the sun. As a result the southerns hemisphere has winter.
What season are you having in Australia when the sun does not set on the North Pole?
Winter. The Earth has an axis, tilted at about 23.5° from the perpendicular to Earth's orbit. When the Earth's north pole is tilted towards the Sun, the northern hemisphere is in summer while the southern hemisphere is in winter. That's the main time when the Sun doesn't set at the north pole. When the Earth's north pole is tilted away from the Sun the southern hemisphere is in summer while the northern hemisphere is in winter.
Why do seasons repeat themselves at the same time each year?
The earth is tilted, compared to its plane of orbit around the sun. So, in June the north pole is tilted more toward the sun and so the sun shines more directly down on the ground. This makes sunlight more intense. That plus the longer days makes it warmer. The opposite happens when the earth is on the other side of the sun, when the north pole is pointed more away from the sun. You can imagine that the north pole sees 24 hours a day of sunlight when it is tilted toward the sun. This same effect happens everywhere in the northern hemisphere, though to a lesser and lesser extent as you approach the equator.
When the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun in the summer why is its temperatures still very cold?
Even though the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, it is not tilted all the way (to 90 degrees). The sun still remains low in the sky, and so the pole doesn't experience the full heat of the sun directly overhead. The tilt of the pole is about 23.5 degrees. It is also very cold because the sun doesn't hit the North Pole directly so it is very cold.
How many hours of sunlight does the north pole get at the December solstice?
At the North Pole during the December solstice, there is 24 hours of darkness. This is because the axial tilt of the Earth causes the North Pole to be tilted away from the sun during this time, preventing sunlight from reaching that region.
How does the tilt of earths affect the season?
The tilt of earth's axis with respect to the ecliptic plane is the cause of the seasons.At any given time, the hemisphere adjacent to the pole tilted toward the sun is the one that experiences spring and summer, whereas the one adjacent to the pole tilted away from the sun is the hemisphere experiencing autumn and winter.
