Why does the Earth light?
because it tilts toward the sun
Which parts of earth point at the sun?
Since earth is very close to being a sphere (it is an oblate spheroid) there really isn't any part of it that 'points' to the sun. The north pole tilts more toward the sun during the north's summer solstice and the south pole tilts more toward the sun during summer solstice in the south. But the earth's pole never points directly at the sun. The part of earth's surface that is closest to the sun (the part of earth experiencing solar noon with the sun at local zenith) will always be someplace between and including the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
the earth's tilt on its axis causes the seasons.true or false?
True. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Using the tilt of the earth why is winter cold?
The Earth tilts at 23.5 degrees and when it is on one side of the Sun the tilt is toward the Sun. If it tilts toward the Sun then it has direct sunlight making it hot. On the other side of the Sun it tilts away causing indirect sunlight making it colder.
What happens when the earth tilts away from the sun?
When the Earth tilts away from the sun, it experiences winter in the hemisphere that is tilted away. This tilt reduces the angle at which sunlight reaches that part of the Earth, leading to cooler temperatures and shorter days. Meanwhile, the opposite hemisphere, tilted toward the sun, experiences summer with warmer temperatures and longer days. This axial tilt is responsible for the changing seasons throughout the year.
When it is summer are you facing away from the sun?
The Earth tilts toward the sun for spring and summer. So the earth is not facing away from the Sun. If we were not facing the sun, we'd be cold because it would be fall going into winter.
How the tilt of earths axis and earths movement around the sun cause seasons?
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
How do the tilt of earths axis and earths movement around the sun cause seasons?
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Is hours of sunshine a description of climate and if it is why?
No, the angle of the earth on its axis determines the actual climate. Since the earth tilts on the axis and the widest area of the earth is the equator, winter occurs in the northern hemisphere when earth is closest to the sun, but is actually tilted away from the sun on its axis. When the earth tilts back toward the sun, summer comes to the northern hemisphere.
How does the tilt of the Earth and the orbit of Earth around the sun cause the temperature to change throughout the year?
it tilts part of the earth towards the sun and others away.
