What is the suns position in the winter?
The Sun is in the same position it always is. The Earth changes, not the sun.
How does the position of earth and its orbit relate to the timing of winter and summer?
Earth's position and angle with the sun makes seasons happen. Whichever side of Earth is closest to the sun is having summer. The side furthest from the sun should be having winter.
What causes the seasos?
The position of the Earth to the sun.... when the earth is the furthest away from the sun it becomes winter when the closest its summer
What is the relative position of the earth and sun in summer autumn winter and spring on the northern hemisphere?
About the same except that they're closer in winter than in summer (the Earth's orbit is an ellipse). The thing that make seasons is not their position but the aspect of the Earth's surface that mainly faces the sun, and that's controlled by the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Describe the position of the earth in relation to the sun during winter in the Northern Hemisphere?
Winter is colder than Summer because the angle of the earth toward the Sun. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun during the northern Hemisphere winter but the hemisphere is angled way and gets less direct light.
Why is it winter in Europe when it is summer in Texas?
because the earth is always moving around the sun and its rotating at the same time, so the sun is on Europe, while Texas is on the other side of the earth. hope this helps :D
Why is the sun lower in the sky during the winter?
The sun never moves although it might seem to hang low it's just the position of the earth.
Describe the position of the earth and sun for the spring and winter solstices?
There is no "spring solstice", there is a spring equinox and a summer solstice.
How does the Sun's position relate to seasons?
Its actually not the sun. When the earth moves around the sun it also tilts. If you are on the northern hemisphere of the earth and the earth is tilted toward the sun then it is your summer. At the same time it is the southern hemispheres winter because it's tilted away from the sun.
When do you have winter?
You have winter when earth is near the sun
The figure above shows the Earth at two different positions in its orbit around the Sun. If Texas is in the Northern Hemisphere which is the top half of the Earth which position corresponds to summer?
Position B
Why is there a greater number of daylight hours in the summer than in the winter?
Because the earth axis changes its position toward the sun!
