∙ 14y agoIf you look at a globe, the Earth is on a tilt. The two stubs at the top and bottom of the globe represent the 'axis'. During late March, April, May, June, July, August and early September, the top of the globe is tilted away from the sun. The sun is our source of heat. During that time the equator stays at almost the exact same point. But the area of Canada and the United States of America and Russia and Northern Europe are farther away and do not get as much sunlight. No sunlight no heat. Thus, nights are longer and weather cooler in the winter.
