When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun it experiences what season?

The same season as that experienced by the Southern Hemisphere when that is tilted toward the sun. Still need to ask? Like, do you feel warmer when in sunlight or colder when in sunlight? Like, is Summer colder or hotter than Winter? Where do you live? Is it reasonable to assume that because you get a lot more sunlight (when away from the Equator), in the SUMMER, the sun is more overhead than it is in the Winter. And if the sun is more overhead, is it possible that this hemisphere is tilted toward the sun at this season? I'm sure you didn't really need to ask this question if you had given it a bit of thought yourself before asking others. To make up for it, work out which way the sun appears to travel in the hemisphere you don't live in.


Why the earth closest to the sun on January?

Why not? That's just the way the Earth's orbit worked out. You were probably wondering why the Earth is closest to the sun in the coldest month of the year. This is because the Earth's proximity to the sun doesn't really have anything to do with surface temperatures. The big factor is the tilt of the Earth's axis. In January, the North pole is tilted away from the sun, making it winter in the Northern Hemisphere. This means that at the same time, the south pole is titled towards the sun, making it summer in the Southern Hemisphere. It is warmer in a hemisphere when its pole is tilted towards the sun because the sun's rays are more direct on that hemisphere.


Why is it summer in the northern hemisphere on June 21?

Because the earth's axis is tilted towards the sun at this time. This means the sun's rays are spread over a smaller area than they are in winter, so it's warmer.


Why are difrent planets difrent temperatures?

The different planets have different distances from the sun. The closer the planet is to the sun, the warmer it is. Different areas of the planet will be warmer than others at certain times because of the rotation of each planet. For example, while you're experiencing winter another country/continent will be experiencing summer because they are closer to the sun than you are at that time.


How are season caused?

Seasons are caused by the positon of the earth along its orbit around the sun AND the tilt of the earth. Summer is caused when the sunlight is more direct in a hemisphere (northern or southern) and causes warmer temperatures. Winter is just the opposite: when sunlight is less direct.

Why are winter days colder then summer days?

Because whe it is winter to norther hemisphere is pointing away from the sun which means lower temperatures, but in summer it is pointing to the sun which means warmer temperatures.


Which hemisphere is hotter?

The average temperatures are slightly warmer in the southern hemisphere because more of the hemisphere is water (the Pacific, Indian, and Southern Oceans). But each hemisphere has its own locations that are either very hot or very cold.


Why is it warmer in August than in June?

The UK is in the northern hemisphere, so in June when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, places in the northern temperate zone (such as the UK), will experience warmer temperatures.


What kind of climate usually ha a high biodiversity?

Biodiversity tends to increase as you move toward the equator because temperatures tend to be warmer.


Why is Earth's surface warmer in the north hemisphere it is summer there?

The summer season experiences warmer temperatures because?

The summer season experiences warmer temperatures because this portion of the Earth is closest to the sun at that point in the year. The opposite is true of winter.


Is England warmer than Scotland?

Generally, England has warmer temperatures than Scotland. As many parts of Scotland are on higher ground, Scotland is more prone to snow. England is further south from Scotland which is in the Northern hemisphere thus making it warmer.


Explain the various temperatures around the US?

By "around the US" I'm guessing you mean "surrounding the US".By "explain the temperatures" I'm guessing you mean "explain the causes of the temperatures".The temperatures to the North of the US are colder because they are closer to the North Pole.The temperatures to the South of the US are warmer because they are closer to the Equator.The temperatures to the East of the US are generally warmer at the same latitude as they are to the West of the US. This is because the Great Atlantic Conveyor (thermohaline circulation) brings warmer waters up from the south.


The southeast has warmer temperatures than the Northeast and Midwest because it is?
