It relates because it takes 24 hours for earth to fully rotate and for twelve of those hours it is facing the sun. When the ratation slightly shifts during seasons, the day is longer or shorter for the amount of time facing the sun changes.

How Does the tilt of earths axis affect the number of daylight hours and the temperature of a location on earths?

If the Earth's axis was vertical - every point on its surface would have the same length of day and night, no matter what time of year it was. The tilt of the axis (to about 11 degrees) means that, as the Earth rotates, and travels around the sun, the length of day shortens and lengthens throughout the year.


In addition to changes in the number of hours of daylight what other factor contributes to earths seasons?

Daylight is greatly dependent on the sun. The number of daylight hours a city or country receives is dependent on its latitude.


How many hours of sunlight is in the spring?

On the first day of spring you get 12 hours of each (it's the equinox). After that you get more daylight every day until the last day of spring ... how much more depends on how far from the equator you live.


About how many hours of daylight will there be in the Northern Hemisphere on the fall equinox?

The equinox is the point in time where the Sun crosses the equator and there is no tilt to the Earth, thus there are approximately the same number of hours of light and darkness in both hemispheres. The term "equinox" comes from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night).


At 41 degrees north latitude how many minutes of daylight do we gain per day?

At 41 degrees north latitude, you gain some length of daylight every day from December 21 until June 21, and you lose some length of daylight every day from June 21 until December 21. The number of minutes difference from one day to the next also changes. It's greatest on March 21 and on September 21, and when you get to June 21 or December 21, it's almost nothing.
