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.
Your answer depends on where you are. At the South Pole when the Earth is tilted toward the Sun, it's summer.
When the earth is at the point in its orbit at which the northern hemisphere's tilt toward the sun is at its maximum, winter is beginning in the southern hemisphere.
The south end of Earth's axis is tilted toward the sun in December. This tilt causes the Southern Hemisphere to experience summer during this time.
yes, the season's change based apon the tilt that it is facing the sun
The 'equinoxes' occur in March and September. At those times, neither pole is tilted toward or away from the sun. At the time of the June solstice, the north pole reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, whereas at the time of the December solstice, the south pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun.
No. It is closet to the sun in January! Seasons are caused by tilt of the earth, not how close to the sun it is. But for which Hemisphere? Season are determined by tilt. The earth stays the same distance away from the sun every season.
The season is not relavent. The tilt is about 23.5 degrees You may be confusing the earth's "tilt", which is always about 23.5 degrees relative to the ecliptic, and how the tilt happens to be oriented at any given time. Imagine a coin "heads" side up and the face oriented properly, at the top of a piece of paper. That's the earth. The sun is at the center. Put your index finger on the coin and move it counter-clockwise around the sun. Wherever the 'earth' is, when you take you finger off the coin the face is always oriented the same way-- the top of the head is up. The earth's tilt is something like that. It's always virtually the same size, but during one part of the orbit the tilt is oriented so that the north is toward the sun, and at the opposite part of the orbit, the tilt is oriented so that the south is toward the sun.
The Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during summer because of the Earth's axial tilt. This tilt causes the sun's rays to strike the Northern Hemisphere more directly, creating longer days and warmer temperatures. As the Earth orbits the sun, this tilt changes, causing the seasons.
Yes they are
