When the part of the earth where you live is tilted toward the sun which season is it?

That's the situation from the first day of Spring until the first day of Fall.
Maximum tilt toward the sun is the first day of Summer.

What season is the part of Earth where you live tilted toward the sun?
Summer!
Why we have season's?
we have seasons because of how the earth is tilted on the earths axis, for example if you live in england, its winter when your futher away from the sun and you have summer when your tilted towards the sun.
Which way is earth tilted during the summer?
depends on which hemisphere you live if on top it is towards the sun
Does your Summer occurs when earth is tilted away from the sun?
No. It is not "the Earth" that is tilted away or towards the Sun, it is the hemisphere in which you live. And if you have summer, that basically means that your hemisphere is tilted TOWARDS the Sun.
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.
What occurs because the earth is tilted and revolves around the sun?
In short, Life! We only really live because the earth is tilted on it axis so it regulates heats.
What brings about the season?
The Earth's tilt in relation to the Sun, so if you live on the northern hemisphere, from June to September the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun creating Summer. Meanwhile, during the same months the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun creating winter.
What causes summer to be warmer than winter?
The Earth leans into the sun, sunlight hits at more direct angle and is more effective at heating to Earth's surface. Sun appears high in sky and rays hit more directly, spreading out less light rays.
How do you have longest day?
The change in the length of the day is due to the tilt of the Earth. You will have your longest day of the year when you live of the part of the Earth that is tilted towards the Sun.
Why does the sun affect the season on earth?
The sun affects the seasons because the earth's axis is tilted 23½º respect to the plane of its orbit around the sun. When the hemisphere where you live is tilted towards the sun the rays fall more directly so it's summer or spring but when it is tilted away the rays fall obliquely and are less strong so it's winter or Autumn. If the earth's axis were straight up and down, there would be only a minuscule variation in temperature at any given latitude, due only to the fact that the earth's orbit isn't exactly circular. But mostly there wouldn't be any seasons!
How is the earth tilted towards the sun during spring?
Being very nearly spherical (shaped like a round ball), it's kind of tough to say thatthe Earth "is tilted" ... a tilted ball is still a ball.The Earth's rotation axis points toward a spot in the sky that's very near the star Polaris.In that direction, the axis makes an angle of about 67.5 degrees to the ecliptic, the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun.When you see a drawing of the Sun and the Earth in its orbit around it, you're temptedto assume that the Earth's north pole points straight up, making a right angle with thedirection toward the sun. There's really no reason why it ought to point that way, orwhy it should tilt at an angle of 42 degrees, or 87 degrees, or zero, or any other angle.It just happens to be about 67.5 degrees.If it were 90 degrees, then earth would have no seasons. And if it were much lessthan it actually is, then the seasons might be so extreme that life on Earth might bealmost impossible.The ecliptic - the plane in which the orbits of all the planets including Earth lies - is also tilted with respect to the Galactic Equator (about 60 degrees) The mass of the galaxy is so great that reasonably that should be a frame of reference but in space there is no up and down!
Why aren't you tilted from earths axis?
But I AM ! The earth's axis is a straight line between the north and south poles,through the middle of the earth. Since I live in Chicago, the line straight down fromthe top of my head is tilted about 48 degrees from the axis when I'm awake, andabout 42 degrees from it when I'm asleep. I am almost never parallel to earth's axis.
