What else can I help you with?
Why is it true that when the sun is closer to the earth that the northern hemisphere is in winter?
Yes, the sun is slightly closer to the earth in the winter. It is colder because the slant of the earth's axis is away from the sun.
What to things causes the seasons to happen on earth?
The earth revolves around the sun, as it gets farther away, it becomes winter and closer summer.
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
Is it true that your winter is cold oven though you are closer to the sun?
yuuuppp.
Is the sun closer to earth today than in BC?
No, Only on the winter
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
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.
Is the Earth much closer to the Sun at any time during its motion around the Sun?
yes during winter. That's winter in the Northern hemisphere.
What would happen if the sun orbits like the earth?
the sun moves closer to earth
What would happen if the sun came closer to earth and what would happen to the plants?
If the earth got pulled in closer to the sun, or if the sun expands significantly, then the earth will get much warmer. That said, nothing like that is going to happen for a couple billion years yet.
What is the season in the northern hemisphere when the Earth's axis is tilted away from the Sun?
When the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun it is summer there and winter in the northern hemisphere. The Earth's axis is on a tilt relative to the Sun. This means that during the year as it follows its regular orbit around the Sun, for a period one hemisphere is closer to the Sun than the other. This is what creates the seasons we have on Earth. When one hemisphere is closer to the Sun more heat is felt there. This is known as "summer". This is similar to how holding your hand closer to a flame will make your hand feel warmer. Clearly, at the time one hemisphere is closer to our Sun, the other hemisphere is further away, meaning it is in "winter". When the two hemispheres are equidistant from the Sun then it is spring in one and autumn (fall - if you're American) in the other.
Why do seasons change as earth moves around the sun when does this happen?
It's because of the tilt of the Earth on its axis. If there was no tilt, there would be no seasons. As the Earth go round the Sun, sometimes the North Pole is tilted to the Sun and we get northern Summer and South Winter. But 6 months later, the South Pole is closer to the Sun and we get southern Summer and northern Winter.
