The Earth's changing distance from the Sun during the year causes the seasons.
when the earth was formed is was knocked 23.4* so when the earth orbits the sun it in a different place. this also corses thr seasons
because the Earth is tilted and when it orbits, the Earth tilts in different directions causing parts of the world to be closer to the sun parts of the year, and further away from the sun other parts of the year... gosh i learnt this last year in year 7 -.-
The earth orbits the the sun every year so the sun position changes to us but really the sun stays the same its us moving :) i hope i was a great help :)
The sun obviously isn't what changes--it is the tilt and location of the Earth at a given time of year. The angle at which the sun hits the Earth changes as we orbit around the sun and rotate on our "wobbly" axis. This wobbly axis affects the angle at which we see the sun rising and setting, and is the reason the sun's "path" through the sky changes depending on the time of year.
The sun and moon are always in the sky, but for half of the time, the earth turns you away from the part of the sky where they are, so that you can't see them. During those times, people on the other side of the earth can see them.
Because of the tilt of the Earth, which keeps northern areas tilted towards the sun during that time of year.
The amount of daylight changes throughout the year due to the Earth's axial tilt as it orbits the sun. This tilt causes the angle at which sunlight hits a specific location to vary, resulting in longer days during summer and shorter days during winter. This phenomenon is what we refer to as the changing seasons.
The Earth is closest to the Sun at perihelion.However, that does not equate to temperature.The distances involved do not make any significant changes to the amount of solar radiation the Earth receives.Any changes on Earth are related to the tilt of the Earth as it "appears" to the Sun and the amount of atmosphere sunlight has to pass through.When the Earth is at perihelion during January we, in the Northern Hemisphere, are in winter.
Earth's orbit is not perfectly circular, but rather an elliptical shape, with the Sun at one of the foci. This causes the distance between Earth and the Sun to vary slightly throughout the year, with the closest point being perihelion and the farthest point being aphelion.
no it shines to pluto Yes, during the course of the year the sun strikes different locations on different days directly, the most northern location the sun can strike directly is called the Tropic of Cancer and the most southern location the sun can strike directly is called the Tropic of Capricorn.
