What is the major cause of the winter season in the US?
The earth's northern hemisphere tilting away from the sun, receiving less direct sunlight, causing temperatures to drop and cause winter.
Why do seasons occur in the northern and southern hemisphere?
Both hemispheres are the two halves of Earth. At different times each year, they are tilted towards the sun or tilted away from the sun, because of how the Earth rotates on its axis. For example, in July, in the northern hemisphere, it's summer, but in the southern hemisphere, it's winter. The northwern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, and it gets more direct sunlight. The Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, and it gets a lot less direct sunlight.
Describe the position of the earth in relation to the sun during winter in the Northern Hemisphere?
Winter is colder than Summer because the angle of the earth toward the Sun. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun during the northern Hemisphere winter but the hemisphere is angled way and gets less direct light.
What is it called when the northern hemisphere gets the most sunlight?

How the angle the sunlight reaches the earth impacts the number of hours of sunlight and the length of the day?
During the summer, the sun is striking the Northern Hemisphere straight on, therefore providing strong sunlight and longer daylight hours. The opposite is true during the winter; the Northern Hemisphere is turned away from the sun during this time, hence receiving weak sunlight and shorter daylight hours.
Why are winter and summer opposite seasons?
Winter and summer represent the annual periods when one hemisphere is tilted either toward the Sun, or away from the Sun. The summer in the Northern Hemisphere is the winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa. Tilting toward the Sun means longer days, more direct sunlight, and generally higher temperatures (summer). Tilting away means shorter days, less direct sunlight, and therefore cooler overall temperatures. (*The varying distance of the Earth from the Sun has virtually no effect on the temperatures in winter and summer. The tilt of the Earth is the key factor.)
What hemispheres revives fewer direct rays from the January than in July?
