No. The seasons are caused by the orbiting of the Earth around the Sun, as well as the tilting of the Earth's axis. When the Earth is farthest away from the Sun (at its aphelion), that is when the some parts on Earth, like the north will get cold. On the other hand, when the Earth is at it's closest to the Sun (perihelion), that is when the Earth is cooler.

However, the Earth is closer to the Sun in January (to be precise, 4th of January), but still very cold. The answer is January is the coldest month of the year in most areas of the Northern Hemisphere, because the sun's angle is at its lowest during the month as a whole. In addition, there is no sun at all above the Arctic Circle and does not allow any warmth from the sun at all. Hence, it gets colder and colder there. Now, these air masses regularly come down into the south and bring with them colder and colder temperatures.

How the movements of earth cause day night and changes in seasons?

Day and night is caused by the rotation of the earth about its axis. Seasons are caused by the axial tilt of the earth

Day and night and the seasons


The earths rotation is direct cause of?

seasonsRotation around the sun gives the seasons because the earth is tilted. Rotation about earth's axis give day and night.


Is NOT a direct result of Earth's rotation?

The change in seasons is not a direct result of Earth's rotation. Seasons are caused by Earth's axial tilt and its orbit around the Sun. Earth's rotation affects the length of a day and the creation of day and night, but not the change in seasons.

does it cause day and night or seasons


If earth rotates around sun you get your seasons how do you get day night by sun rotation?

You get day and night due to the rotation of the Earth about its own axis. Only on the side facing the Sun is it daytime. On the other side it is night.


Is the changing of the seasons on this planet because of the rotation of the earth or the axial tilt of the planet?

Rotation only controls day and night. Seasons are a result of the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth.


What happens to cause day and night?

The rotation of the Earth on its axis.


What is the effect of the rotation of earth?

seasons if you mean around the sun. day/night if you mean on its axis.
