Why is the sun higher in the sky in summer?
The earth turns all around, in summer it is in a position the sun is "higher" or more above, that's why it is summer :-)
How do shadows change as the sun moves higher in the sky?
It will stay the same and get longer.
How does the angle of the sun as it hits earths surface effect the length of the shadows?
The lower the Sun is on the horizon, the longer the shadow that is cast, the higher the Sun is in the sky, the shorter the shadow.
Does the sun move in the sky?
the sun does move in the sky
How does the altitude of the noontime sun change as winter approaches?
It will be lower in the sky. As the midpoint of winter passes, the noontime sun will be higher each day until midsummer.
Why does the Sun appears higher in the sky in summer?
The earth's tilt is a constant 23.5 degrees perpendicular. The earth's position relative to the sun changes, not the tilt itself, during orbit. The sun is higher in the sky throughout summer because the north pole is tilted 23.5 degrees toward the sun and because we are in the northern hemisphere, the sun is higher in the sky. during winter, the south pole is tilted 23.5 degrees to the sun making the sun lower in the U.S. sky.

Is the sun higher in hot countries?
Yes, the sun is always high in the sky in the tropics. At the equator the sun is always higher at noon than it ever gets in Britain.

Does the location of the sunset point correlate with how high the sun is in the sky at noon?
Yes, to an extent. In the northern hemisphere summer, the Sun rises somewhat north of east, and the Sun will be higher in the sky at noon. (In the southern hemisphere summers, the Sun rises SOUTH of east and is higher at noon.)In the winter, the sun rises south of east (north of east for the southern hemisphere) and is lower in the sky at noon.
What does the length of the shadow indicate about the location of the sun in the sky?
The higher the Sun is in the sky, the shorter the shadows produced. In some places the Sun can be overhead at certain times of year. In that case no significant shadows are seen.
Why is the sun higher in the sky in the the summer and lower in the winter?
why the sun is higher in summer is because the earths top of the axis is pointed to the sun which makes this hotter and in winter the axis is pointed away from the sun which makes it colder
If the sky is orange will it snow?
Not Necessarily. The Sky is orange because the atmosphere is dispersing the light differently then when the sun is higher in the sky. The Atmosphere makes the wave length of the light higher, causing the orange, or redish color.
Why the sun is higher in the sky in the summer and lower in the winter?
Because of the tilt of Earth's axis.
Why is the sun higher in the sky in summer and lower in the winter?
Because of the tilt of Earth's axis.
When the sun is higher in the sky in summer why is it hotter?
because the earht spins on its axis
Is the sun lower or higher in the sky during winter?
The sun reaches its highest elevation at the moment that summer begins.
