The earth surface is warmer in the northern hemisphere when it is
summer there because of the angle of the sun. For the same reason,
the Earth's surface is warmer in the Southern Hemisphere when it is
Summer there.

Why are winter days colder then summer days?
Because whe it is winter to norther hemisphere is pointing away from the sun which means lower temperatures, but in summer it is pointing to the sun which means warmer temperatures.
Which position on earth represents the first day of summer in the northern hemisphere?
every time earth turns around the more it gets more colder and warmer
How are winters in the Northern Hemisphere different from winters in the Southern Hemisphere?
In the Southern Hemisphere the winters are warmer than in the Northern Hemisphere.
What effect does the hemisphere have on the seasons?
The hemisphere you are in (northern or southern) has an effect on when you experience the seasons. At points in the earth's orbit it is either the southern or northern hemisphere that is tilted further towards the sun. This makes that hemisphere warmer, experiencing summer while the other colder and experiences winter. Then six months later, things are reversed.
When the sun rays reach their highest angle in the northern hemisphere the season there in is?
That would be summer. In summer, the northern axis of the earth is tilted toward the sun. The angle of the sun from the horizon is greater than in the winter. This is one reason summer is warmer and days are longer.
Why is earth's surface warmer in the northern hemisphere when it is summer there?
Cause the sun is facing there
Why is it warmer in the summer in the northern hemisphere?
Because during that season, the northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun. This is caused by the earth's axis tilt.
Is it warmer in July than January in the northern hemisphere?
Yes. In January the northern hemisphere is still in winter, while in July the northern hemisphere is in the middle of summer.
Why does earths surface becomes warmer in summer than it does in the winter?
Only one hemisphere has summer at a time, either the Northern or the Southern, while the other has winter. This is determined by which hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun: except for two days each year (the equinoxes), the Earth's tilt means that one pole or the other is angled more toward the Sun. The tilt results in a combination of longer days than nights (more sunshine) and a lesser angle to the Sun's rays (closer to perpendicular to the surface). Less sunlight is refracted or scattered, and more energy reaches the surface than when the angle is greater.
Why are winter days colder then summer days?
Because whe it is winter to norther hemisphere is pointing away from the sun which means lower temperatures, but in summer it is pointing to the sun which means warmer temperatures.
Is the northern hemisphere warm?
The northern hemisphere experiences warmer temperatures during the summer months and colder temperatures during the winter months, due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. Overall, the northern hemisphere can be warm in summer and cold in winter, depending on the season.
Where is it warmer in December Australia or US?
Because the two countries are on oppsite sides of the planet. In winter, the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun - making our climate colder. At the same time, the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun - making Australia's climate warmer.
Why is the sothen and nothen hemisphere warmer in the summer?
The answer is the angle of the sun. When the sun is higher in the sky you get more heat per given area.
Why earths interior is warmer than earths surface?
Earth's surface is free to radiate heat into space. The interior is not. The interior does transfer heat the the surface, but rather slowly. It is hot due to residual heat from Earth's formation and from the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements.
Which position on earth represents the first day of summer in the northern hemisphere?
every time earth turns around the more it gets more colder and warmer
Is winter in the northern hemisphere warmer than in the southern hemisphere?
No, it is not
How is temperature and latitude related?
In this case, we'll have to talk about the equator.Temperature gets warmer the closer you go to equator. The equator is at 0 degrees latitude. We're not talking about degrees in temperature, we are talking about GPS degrees.Most of the time, the smaller the # of the latitude, the warmer it may get. Since the equator always gets sunlight all year round, the closer you get to it, the warmer it'll get.In the Northern Hemisphere, you have to go south to get to the equator.In the Southern Hemisphere, you have to go north the get to the equator.
