In summer, the Earth's tilt causes the Northern Hemisphere to lean towards the sun, resulting in longer daylight hours. This tilt also shifts the sun's apparent path in the sky, causing it to set further north compared to the winter months. As a result, observers in northern latitudes experience sunsets that occur later and farther north during the summer.

Does Australia tend to get warm as you travel north?

In winter, Australia is warmer as you travel further north. In summer, southern heat can be just as extreme as northern heat, and even more so due to the absence of humidity. In summer, the further north you travel, the more humid it becomes, but the heat is more constant, compared to the more erratic hot-cold weather of the south. Heatwaves and bushfires are more prevalent in the south during summer, not the north.


Does the sun set in the same direction in summer and winter?

No, the direction in which the sun sets changes throughout the year. In the summer, the sun sets further north, while in the winter, it sets further south. This change is due to the Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits the sun.


If you lived at 50 north latitude how many daylight hours would you have at the summer solstice?

At 50 degrees north latitude, you would experience approximately 16 to 18 hours of daylight on the summer solstice. The further north you go from the equator, the longer the daylight hours during the summer solstice due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.


How many hours of sun light does the tundra get a day?

Now, as for sunlight, that depends on latitude. The higher the latitude, the further north and south, the longer the day in summer, and the shorter the night. Above the arctic and antarctic circles, the sun does not set for at least 1 night in summer and does not rise for at least 1 day in winter. As you continue further north and south toward the poles, the number of nights in summer without sunset and the number of days in winter without sunrise increases. It does not go completely black as for an hour or so before and after sunrise and sunset, there is still light in the sky, twilight, so even if there is no sunrise, the day DOES brighten until the local noon and is darkest at local midnight....
