Why is it summer in the northern hemisphere when it's winter in the southern hemisphere?
The Northern Hemispherenget more direct light.When the Southern Hemisphere is winter,and its tilts away from the Sun
When the north pole is tilted towards the sun it is what in northern hemisphere?
More direct rays and longer days (summer).
Why is the sun highest in the summer?
If you are in the northern hemisphere, the Suns is more towards the north in Summer. THat is precisely how "Summer" (beginning of Summer, to be precise) is defined.
What season does sunlight strike the northern hemisphere more directly?
summer
What are 3 reasons why the northern hemisphere has summer?
The earth is tilted.So for the year it takes to move around the sun, the northern hemisphere has six months tilted towards the sun.During that time the radiation from the sun falls more directly on the northern hemisphere, so it has summer.
Compared to the summer shadows in the winter in the northern hemisphere are generally longer or shorter?
The shadows in the Northern Hemisphere are generally longer in the winter than in the summer. Therefore in the summer the shadows are shorter because the sun is more vertical.
Why are its summer temperatures so high?
The Earth is tilted about 23 degrees from being straight up-and-down relative to the sun. When your half (northern or southern hemisphere) is tilted toward the sun, you get more direct sunlight and it's summer. When it's summer in one hemisphere, it's winter in the other.
Is an annular eclipse more likely in summer or winter in the northern hemisphere?
it is more likely in the winter
When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun what season is it in north America?
It would be mid winter in the US as well.
Does the northern hemisphere have more daylight hours on December 21 to June 21?
The Tropic of Cancer ... an imaginary line of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere ... receives direct sun rays on June 21.
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.
Why are there more daylight hours during the summer in any particular hemisphere?
During the summer months, one hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, causing the sun to be higher in the sky and the days to be longer. This is due to the Earth's axial tilt and its orbit around the sun. The tilt results in more direct sunlight and longer daylight hours during the summer in that hemisphere.
