How does nature change as Persephone moves between the earth and the underworld?
As Persephone moves between the earth and the underworld in Greek mythology, her presence impacts the changing of the seasons. When she is in the underworld with Hades, the earth experiences winter as her mother, Demeter, mourns her absence, causing plants to wither and die. When Persephone returns to the earth, spring comes as her mother rejoices, bringing new growth and life to the land.
Is the sun closer or farther in Winter?
Yes. OK, that's not very helpful. The Earth's orbit is an ellipse, farthest away from the Sun on July 4, closest to the Sun on January 4. (Plus or minus one day due to the cycle of leap years!) So in the northern hemisphere, the Earth is closest to the Sun in the winter, and farthest from the Sun in the summer. In the southern hemisphere, the Earth is closer in the summer and farther away in the winter. The difference isn't very much; only about a million miles or so.
Why are days getting shorter in south Florida?
Days are currently getting shorter in all of the northern hemisphere because we are past the summer solstice continuing to the winter solstice. The tilt of the earth causes days to get longer in the summer and shorter in the winter. The further north or south you are the more extreme these changes are. (near the poles there is a period of a few months where the sun never rises in winter, and never sets in summer)
What do hot dry air moves into the southwest in summer from?
Hot dry air moves into the southwest in summer from the desert areas to the south and east, such as the Sonoran Desert and the Mojave Desert. This air mass brings high temperatures and low humidity to the region, contributing to the hot and arid conditions characteristic of the area during the summer months.
When the Earth moves through outer space how do these movements create daytime nightime and the four seasons?
When the earth is farthest away from the sun we have winter.
Why summer lasts two days longer?
Earth's orbit around the Sun is not a perfect circle; rather, it is an elipse. In winter (the northern winter; in the southern hemisphere this would be the summer), Earth is closer to the Sun, and moves faster.
Why are shadows longer at midday in winter than summer?
i think its to do with the sun, when the sun moves the size of your shadow moves. at midday its the shortest :))
When it is winter in the US what is it in Australia?
When it is winter in the US it is summer in Australia. When it is spring in the US it is autumn in Australia. The seasons are always alternating like this between the northern and southern hemispheres. The starting times for the various seasons are the same in both hemispheres: The solstices mark the beginning of winter for one hemisphere and summer in the other; the equinoxes mark the beginning of spring or of autumn, depending on the hemisphere.
What do the moon do to us?
the moon moves around us and on one side of earth it is Summer and on the other side of earth it is winter
Do you have summer because while the earth moves some countries are having summer?
When it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa. Summer solstice and winter solstice are the most common names. However, these can be ambiguous since seasons of the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere are opposites, and the summer solstice of one hemisphere is the winter solstice of the other. These are also known as the 'longest' or 'shortest' days of the year.
Why don't North and America have summer at the same time?
The northern and southern hemispheres experience summer at different times of the year because of the movement of the sun. The winter and summer solstices are the days that the sun moves from one hemisphere to the other.
Why don't north and south have summer at the same times?
The northern and southern hemispheres experience summer at different times of the year because of the movement of the sun. The winter and summer solstices are the days that the sun moves from one hemisphere to the other.

Why does the earth have four season?
The earth moves around the sun and at certain points the sun is further away from the earth that produces winter but as the earth gets nearer to the sun in its orbit it gets hotter therefore we get summer and autumn and spring in between.
Why does it get dark late in Europe?
It depends on where in Europe you are and what time of year it is. Europe is near the North Pole, so in summer it can be bright quite late, but in winter it is dark much earlier. The closer you are to either of the poles, the more difference there is between the extremes of light and darkness there is in summer and winter.
Is the sunset point always in the same location?
No. As Earth tilts the actual point where the sun sets moves. No. Because the Earth's axis is tilted, the point where the sun sets is farther north (in the northern hemisphere) in summer, and moves gradually toward the south in winter. It reaches its northernmost point at the summer solstice and its southernmost point at the winter solstice, with gradual changes each day as each season progresses.
What angle is the earth in the winter?
The Earth is at the same angle, summer or winter. In winter the nearest pole to you is facing slightly away from the sun as the Earth moves in its orbit, in summer your nearest pole faces slightly towards the sun.
