Why is the amount of daylight longer in the summer and shorter in the winter?
The answer is slightly more complicated than this, but in general the tilt of the earth's axis, causes the northern hemisphere (United States) to point at the sun. So if you imagine standing on the north pole you would feel the suns rays hitting you because you are tilted toward the sun. On the contrary in the winter the Northern Hemisphere is now in a location due to having orbited around the sun, that it is tilted away from the sun. So now the suns rays don't hit the northern part of the earth due to it being at such an extreme angle pointed away from the sun. I'm sure you can search the internet and find a visual of this concept.

What hemisphere is tilted towards the sun during summer?
It depends on which hemisphere you live in. North of the equator, it is the northern hemisphere that is tilted towards the sun in the summer, resulting in longer days and warmer temperatures, while at the same time the southern hemisphere gets less sunlight resulting in shorter days and cooler weather. When the Earth tilts the other way, the opposite occurs and it is the north's turn to experience winter while the south enjoys summer.
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.
Which way is the northern hemisphere tilted during the summer?
i think to the right
Is the earth always tilted the same way during is orbit?
yes
Is the earth always tilted the same way during the orbit?
yes
It is 36 degrees celsius in Santiago Chile Which way is the Earth tilted on it's axis?
At that temperature, it would be summer in Santiago, and the southern pole of the earth's axis would be tilted toward the sun.
During summer which way is the earths axis tilted?
depends on which hemisphere you live if on top it is towards the sun
What if the earth's axis was tilted on its side?
In a way, the Earth's axis IS tilted on its side, that's why we have seasons.
Why is the sun higher in summer?
the sun is higher in summer because of the way the earth goes around the sun in winter we are abit closer then in summer but it does not have the same effect because off the angle off the earth

What is the best reason as to why we have seasons on Earth?
Earth'sTilt Is the Reason for the Seasons! During the year, the seasons change depending on the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth as it revolves around the Sun.The seasons are caused as the Earth, tilted on its axis, travels in a loop around the Sun each year. Summer happens in the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun, and winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun. As the Earth travels around the Sun, the hemisphere that is tilted towards or away from the Sun changes.The hemisphere that is tilted towards the Sun is warmer because sunlight travels more directly to the Earth's surface so less gets scattered in the atmosphere. That means that when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The hemisphere tilted towards the Sun has longer days and shorter nights. That's why days are longer during the summer than during the winter.In general, the further away from the equator you travel, the cooler summer and winter temperatures become. At the equator there are no seasons because each day the Sun strikes at about the same angle. Every day of the year the equator receives about 12 hours of sunlight. The poles remain cool because they are never tilted in a direct path of sunlight. Much light is scattered by the atmosphere before reaching the Earth surface at the poles. During midwinter, when a pole is tilted away from the Sun, there is no daylight at all. The sun never rises! However, during the summer, a pole receives sunlight all the time and there is no night!Summer happens in the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun, and winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun.
How are seasons caused by earth?
It is a result of the way the earth is tilted on its axis
