How does daylight length affect seasons?

Answer 1

the Earth's orbit around the sun is elliptical so Earth is farther away from the sun in some places (winter) and closer in some places (summer). also Earth's axis tilt causes light rays to spread and our rotation around our axis causes the darkness when the part of the Earth turns away from the sun.

Answer 2

Staying true to the question the way it's written, it's the other way around - it's the seasons that affect the length of day and night. The hemisphere whose pole points towards the sun gets summer and longer days and the hemisphere whose pole points away from the sun gets winter.

And the further away from the equator the more pronounced the difference becomes, with the poles having continuous night during winter and continuous day during summer.

It turns out that the elliptical orbit of the Earth has little effect on the seasons. Instead, it is the23.45-degree tilt of the planet's rotational axis that causes us to have winter and summer.

The diagram below demonstrates what happens.

In this diagram, you can see the axis of rotation and the equator. The Northern Hemisphere (at the top) is currently experiencing winter, and the Southern Hemisphere is experiencing summer. By looking at how sunlight is landing on the planet in the diagram, you can clearly see two things:

• The Southern Hemisphere is getting about three times as much sunlight as the Northern Hemisphere.
• The North Pole is getting zero sunlight, which is why it experiences 24 hours of darkness in January.

That huge difference in the amount of sunlight reaching the ground in the different hemispheres is what causes the seasons.

Answer 3

The Earth's equator does not lie in the plane of the Earth's orbit, which means the north-south polar axis is tilted. The axis always stays in the same direction (relative to the stars) and this means that sometimes your part of the Earth is tilted towards the Sun. When this happens you get more than 12 hours of sunlight each day. Six months later you get less than 12 hours.

People near the Equator have about 12 hours of sunlight each day with little variation.

Answer 4

It varys becausethe earth is spinning and facing the sun then it turn and we only get half the sun . son we like igloos!

Answer 5

The length of daytime changes with each season becaus the amounts of energy that the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere receive from the sun change over the course of a yeat

Answer 6

Because the Earth is tilted on its axis which means the northern hemisphere faces the sun longer which makes day time long.

Answer 7

Lenght of daylight changes daily.

Answer 8

Because of the earths axial tilt
