What part of the earth is facing the sun when it is winter in the southern US?
The Southern United States of America are in the Norther hemisphere of Earth. Thus when it is winter there the Southern hemisphere of the Earth is pointing towards the sun.
Is the sun closest to the earth during the summer or winter solstice?
It Is closest to the earth In the winter.
How does winter season occur?
The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees,This means that the Earth is always "pointing" to one side as it goes around the Sun. So, sometimes the Sun is in the direction that the Earth is pointing, but not at other times. The varying amounts of sunlight around the Earth during the year, creates the seasons.
Why does the angular diameter of the sun as seen from earth appear to be greater during our winter than summer?
earth is closer to the Sun during our winter
When is the earth closes to the sun in summer or winter?
The earth is actually closer to the sun during the winter in the northern hemisphere
How its axis is pointing as Earth rotates and revolves?
The north end of the earth's axis is pointing toward a point in the sky that's about 1/3 of a degree from Polaris (the North Star). That doesn't change during the day, or during the year, and it essentially won't change during your lifetime.
Why does have so many hours of darkness during winter?
During winter, some locations experience more hours of darkness because the Earth's axis is tilted away from the sun, causing the sun's rays to hit the Northern Hemisphere at a more oblique angle. This results in shorter days and longer nights, leading to more hours of darkness.
What makes climate?
One part of the earth is facing directly at one side of the earth the rays from the sun and that is what makes summer and when the rays are pointing further from the sun is winter. because the rays are harder to reach the earth.
Why does the sun look bigger in winter?
The way the earth is positioned on it's axes during the winter months positiones the sun closer to the earth.
How and why does summer and winter occur?
The Earth has seasons because it is tilted about 23.5 degrees from straight up and down. Think of the Earth as a spinning top, tipped over to one side. It remains tipped in the same direction as it travels around the Sun. This means that sometimes the northern hemisphere of the Earth is pointing towards the Sun, and sometimes it is pointing away. When the northern half of the Earth is pointing towards the Sun, the northern hemisphere of the Earth gets more direct sunlight. We call this the "summer" season for the north. At this same time, the southern half of the Earth is pointed away from the Sun, so people in the southern hemisphere get less direct sunlight. We call this "winter" for the southern hemisphere. So, because of the tilt of the Earth's axis, the seasons in the south are the opposite of those in the north. _-Bakonawa-_ The seasons occur because the earth rotates about its axis at and angle of 23.5 degrees (there is a wobble that affects this tilt, but it takes thousands of years). Since we are at an angle to the suns rays we receive more or less direct light during different times of the year. In the northern hemisphere, during the summer, we are angled towards the sun during the day, receiving more of the direct solar energy. In the winter we are angled away from the sun during the day, the sunshine is spread more thinly over the land and we receive less energy. the southern hemisphere has its summer during the north's winter and vice versa.
What makes montanas climate?
One part of the earth is facing directly at one side of the earth the rays from the sun and that is what makes summer and when the rays are pointing further from the sun is winter. because the rays are harder to reach the earth.
During which season does the Earth reach periphelion?
Winter. In the beginning of January, the Earth is closest to the sun.
