Why does the length day and night change throughout the year?
The tilt of the Earth's axis, and it's elliptical orbit around the sun. We only have 24 hours in a day, so if the nights become longer, the days have to become shorter. Seriously, it's all due to the Earth orbiting the sun in an elliptical pattern and the axis tilt, which always stays on the same plane. At the winter equinox, the days begin to get longer, until the summer equinox, when the days begin to shorten again. Note that in the winter, the sun sits much lower in the sky than during the summer, at least in the northern hemisphere. It's reversed for the southern hemisphere, as are the seasons. Hard to imagine summer for December, and snow in July, but that's how it is below the equator.
What season do most people prefer?
My opinion is that the best season is fall because it's not too hot (summer), its not too cold (winter), and it doesn't have too much alergies (spring). :)
Why is there winter and summer?
Why We Have Winter and SummerWe have winter and summer because the Earth circles around the sun. While many believe the temperature changes occur because the Earth is closer to the sun in summer and farther away from the sun in winter, the Earth is actually farther from the sun in summer and closer to the sun in winter. The temperature changes are actually caused by the tilt of the Earth on its axis. The sun's rays hit the earth at a steep angle and do not spread out as much. As such, it increases the amount of energy on every given spot and causes temperatures to rise.In winter, just the opposite is true. The sun's rays hit the Earth at a shallower angle, which decreases the energy on any given point. Thus, the temperatures decrease.In addition, longer winter nights help to prevent the warming of the Earth.During the winter, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot. Also, the long nights and short days prevent the Earth from warming up. Thus, we have winterNO . distance does NOT do anything about the seasons .We have seasons because the earth is tilted as it makes it's yearly journey around the sun .
Why the winter evening are longer than summer evening?
The earth's axis of rotation is tilted to the earth's path around the sun.As a result we are tilted towards the sun in the summer and away from the sun in the winter.So basically it's how the earth is tilted on it's axis.
Describe the position of the earth in relation to the sun in the winter and summer for the Northern Hemisphere?
The earth's axis of rotation is tilted relative to the Sun by about 23 degrees. As the earth circles the sun, spinning, the tilted axis keeps pointing to the same spot... roughly toward the star Polaris.During summer, the north pole is pointing 23 degrees toward the Sun... this means that the Sun is higher in the sky in the temperate latitudes, and the Suns rays are concentrated on a smaller area of lang.During winter the pole is tilted 23 degrees AWAY form the Sun, and the SUn is lower in the sky, and its light is therefore spread over a much larger area from a lower angle.In summer the energy input for the sun is high, in winter it is very low.
Are winter nights darker than summer nights?
If you live north of about 54 degrees, the nights are noticeably darker in winter than summer. This is because the sun goes much further below the horizon during the winter than during the summer, which means that in the summer "night" there is still light in the sky.
How are days and nights in Antarctica?
Antarctica's shortest days are in winter, when there are only a few hours of light in a day. However, during the summer, the days become very much longer, and there are only a few hours of night.Another AnswerDepending on where you are in Antarctica, you can have a day with no sunset and a day with no sunrise, in summer and winter, respectively. Anywhere south of 60 degrees South Latitude, this is true.
How do you show that things expand when warm?
It's obvious when you consider how much longer the days are in Summer.
Why do i get shocked more in the winter?
It is more humid in the summer days, so the electrons dont have much space to move around. :)
How much sunlight does iceland get?
In the winter the shortest days only have 4 hours of sunlight. In the summer the sun doesn't set at all.
How much days are in summer?
800000000 days
How often does anarctica have sunshine?
Not very much basically it is daytime for half a year then nightime for the rest except at the equator daytime is longer and nightime is shorter but in winter nightime is longer and summer is shorter. so only during summer and 1 half of the year.

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.
How much snow is there in Sweden?
More in the winter and less in the summer.
Are they gone from the nest in winter?
If you are asking about honey bees, the answer is no. Their numbers are much reduced in winter and the ones that remain cluster together to keep warm. The formation of the cluster is constantly changing so that the same bees aren't always on the outside. As the days get longer and the outside temperature slowly rises, the queen starts to lay again in preparation for spring and summer.
