The Earth tilts at 23.5 degrees and when it is on one side of the Sun the tilt is toward the Sun. If it tilts toward the Sun then it has direct sunlight making it hot. On the other side of the Sun it tilts away causing indirect sunlight making it colder.

Why are there different seasons on earth?
cause earth rotates and when it is away from the sun it gives you winter and autmn, and when it is facing the sun it is giving you summer and spring
What is the concept of seasons?
The year is divided into four seasons, which are summer, autumn (or fall), winter, and spring. Autumn and spring are known for moderate weather, summer is known for hot weather, and winter is known for cold weather. These changes in weather take place because of the tilt of the Earth's axis, relative to the orbit of the Earth around the sun.
Seasons are a result of?
The 23.5 degree tilt of the earth making lets say America for example if the tilt is making America face the Sun cuasing summer but in Australia it will be winter by not facing the Sun directly autumn and spring are from when the tilt is going to the southern hemisphere from the northern hemisphere.
What creates seasons on Earth?
The Earth spins on its tilted axis. This tilt is what causes the seasons. When its axis points towards the sun then it is Summer when it points away is winter.
What is the reason for seasons?
The reason we have season is because of Earth's tilt. Many believe that it is the location of the sun to the Earth. Actually, as the Northern Hemisphere tilts towards the sun it is summer and as it tilts away it's winter. And vis versa for the Southern Hemisphere.
The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?
No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.
Why does it get hot and cold?
the earth gets hot in cold because of the earths tilt in the summer time most of the sun is on the earth in the winter time less of the sun is on the earth
What causes cold winter in the US?
It gets cold when the sun is far away from our location like it is during the US winters due to the tilt of the earth.
What Cause cold winter weather in the US?
It gets cold when the sun is far away from our location like it is during the US winters due to the tilt of the earth.
What makes winter?
The tilt of earth on its axis
How far does the earth tilt when going from summer to winter?
The earth is tilted 23.4°, so from summer to winter, when the tilt is away from the sun, the difference is 46.8°.
How does the Earth's tilt affect the Earth's climate?
The bigger the tilt the warmer the summer is.
Who is the reason for winter?
The seasons - this includes winter - are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis.
How season occur?
seasons are caused by the rotation of earth on its axis
Why does it gets dark and cold in December and not in July?
It gets dark then because of the tilt of the earth. Luckily, we were just talking about this in my science class. The earth has a tilt, and when it's winter time, we're at the bottom So imagine if this is the earth: /. And this is the sun: o. If the earth is like this: / o. Then the bottom of the earth isn't getting as much sunlight as the top of the earth. It all depends on the rotation and the tilt of the earth.
Is the sun farther away from the earth in winter?
no, the tilt of the earth means you are further away on the earth
Is earth farther away from the sun in the winter?
no, the tilt of the earth means you are further away on the earth
