when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the Southern Hemisphere is away for this reason the seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere.

What are the two factors that cause the earth's seasons?

rotation of earth -earth is at a tilt so sometimes some parts get more sun then others rotation around the sun -earth will be at different distances from the sun as it rotates around


What causes use to have seasons?

Seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun. The angle of the tilt affects the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface, leading to variations in temperature and daylight hours throughout the year. This tilt results in different amounts of sunlight reaching different parts of the globe, creating the four seasons.


What is the measure of the tilt of earths axis?

The tilt of Earth's axis is approximately 23.5 degrees away from perpendicular to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. This tilt is what causes the change in seasons as different parts of the Earth receive more or less direct sunlight over the course of the year.


Why does the tilt of earths axis relative to its orbit cause the seasons as earth revolves around the sun?

The tilt of the Earth plus the rotational speed of 1000Mph cases a wobble effect. So the Earth not only orbits on is axis it wobbles on it. See below http://www.soes.soton.ac.uk/staff/ejr/DarkMed/F7wobble.jpg


How does the til of earths axis cause the seasons?

The tilt of Earth's axis causes the seasons by affecting the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface. When one hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it receives more direct sunlight and experiences summer, while the opposite hemisphere is tilted away and experiences winter. As Earth orbits the sun, the tilt causes the seasons to change.

What two things cause the seasons to change on earth?

There are two things that cause it which are the earths orbit and thetilt of the earths axis.


How does the earths orbit around the sun cause the seasons?

Actually, it doesn't. The TILT of the Earth on it axis causes seasonal changes.


Does the Moon's orbit cause seasons?

No, the Moon's orbit does not cause seasons on Earth. Seasons are primarily caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun. This tilt creates varying angles of sunlight throughout the year, resulting in different seasons.


Does the Moon's movements around earth have anything to do with the seasons of the year?

Tides yes, seasons no. The Earths tilt causes the seasons as we orbit the sun.


Two reasons for seasons?

1. Tilt of earths axis 2. Earths axis remains parallel throughout its yearly orbit.


What changes in the earth orbit and the tilt of the earths axis cause ice ages?

Why does the earth's orbit determine the seasons?

Now your question is wrong because the earths orbit doesn't contribute to the seasons, its the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth which creates the seasons. The tilt by what i believe was created when the moon was formed, or the godly way when god tilted the earth creating the flood


What factors cause in temperatures during the seasons?

The Earth's tilt and orbit cause seasonal temperature changes.


What does the earths tilt do normally?

The Earth's tilt is what causes the seasons.


What factors cause changes in temperature during the seasons?

The Earth's tilt and orbit cause seasonal temperature changes.


How does earths tilt lead to seasinal changes?

Depending on the position of earth in its orbit and which hemisphere is closer to the sun due to the Earth's tilt on its axis, different seasons are the result.


How does the tilt of earths axis and its rotation affect the weather?

The same way it affects most of earth. The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth's axis relative to the plane of its orbit.
