What degree is the sun in the summer?

Answer 1

Seeing that direct light will make things hotter such as a lamp pointing at a piece of paper directly, it will get hotter as apposed to if the paper wasn't pointing at the lamp, which is indirect light. The same thing occur with earth and our sun. Depending on what side of revolution the earth is on, it can occur on what hemisphere the light is hitting on. For example, if sunlight were to be hitting the eastern side of the sun, direct light would hit on the Southern Hemisphere while indirect light hits on the northern hemisphere. (I know it sounds a bit confusing but this is probably the best way i can put it) just think of it this way, direct light hits the earth when its on the western and southern sides, while indirect light hits he earth when its on the eastern and northern sides. Hope this helps:)

Answer 2

That depends upon your latitude. At the Tropic of Cancer, on the first day of summer, the sun passes directly overhead at its zenith (high noon). The further north you are, the lower on the southern horizon the sun reaches. At the north pole the sun does not come more than 20 to 25 degrees above the horizon at is highest point. It swings around the entire horizon, never really rising or setting, so that the daylight does not end. Not until autumn.

Answer 3

The Earth is spinning like a top - a TILTED top. The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted about 23.5 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic, or the plane of the Earth's orbit. (All the planets have different orbital planes. Most of them are fairly close, but none of the other planets are exactly on. )

Because the Earth is spinning like a top - or rather, like a gyroscope - it is quite steady, and it maintains its tilt. But that means that sometimes the north end of the Earth is pointed a little toward the Sun and the south end pointed a little away, and sometimes the north end is pointed away and the south end is pointed towards. And sometimes it's all even.

When the north end of the Earth is pointed as close as possible to the Sun, then it is the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere. This is usually on June 21, but can vary a day either way depending on the cycle of leap years.

Answer 4

the degree of the sun is 5,600 degrees

Answer 5

the sun never changes temperature. winter happens when the earth is turned away from the sun. when we have winter, somewhere else is summer.

Answer 6

The sun is high in summer because the temperature is high and so it forces the sun to get higher everytime.

Answer 7

Regarding seasons,the sun travel across the sky at different path at different time of year. The angle of the path to the earth surface is the angle of the sun.

Answer 8

It's the other way around; it's summer BECAUSE your half of the Earth is tilted toward the Sun.
