The inclination of the axis affects seasons (and the amount of light and darkness). In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day and shortest night are in June. After Summer Solstice, the daylight gradually gets shorter, to the shortest day and longest night in December.

In the Southern Hemisphere, Winter Solstice (and shortest day and longest night) are in June, while the Summer Solstice is in December.

What Half of earths surface is called?

There is no such thing as half of the Earth. If you are referring to half of the spherical shape of the Earth then it will be a hemisphere.


How the earths rotation and revolution affect life on earth?

The Earth's rotation causes day and night by exposing different parts of the planet to sunlight, influencing daily rhythms of activity and rest in living organisms. Its revolution around the sun creates different seasons due to the tilt of Earth's axis, influencing climate patterns, migration, and reproductive cycles in animals and plants.


Earth's spinning that causes night and day?

Basically the tilt of the axisThe spinning of the Earth on its axis is the cause of day and night. it takes approximately 24 hours for any point on the earth to directly face the sun twice.A combination of the tilt of the Earths axis and its orbit around the sun is responsible for the seasons.


Does the earths motion give us day and night?

Yes, the Earth's rotation on its axis is what gives us day and night. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are either facing towards the Sun (day) or away from it (night). This rotation takes around 24 hours to complete, creating our daily cycle of light and darkness.


How do the motions of the Earth affect us?

The Earth's rotation causes day and night while its orbit around the sun creates seasons. These motions influence the distribution of sunlight, temperatures, and weather patterns on Earth, which in turn affect ecosystems, agriculture, and human activities. Additionally, the Earth's tilt and orbit shape the length of days and years, impacting our daily routines and calendars.

Does the earths turns make the stars appear in the night?

The earth's turns affect which stars we can see, not if they are visible at all. The stars are always there, But the light from our sun is brighter then the stars, and when the earth turns facing away from the sun, the stars are the brightest thing in the sky.


How do the tilt of the earth the orbit of the earth around the sun and the earths rotation cause temperature differences between daytime and night time?

Because the side of the earth you're on doesn't face the sun when it's night time.


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.


What is the difference between earth's rotation and facing time?

by the earths rotation around the sun and the pattern in day and night and how the earth moves and how the earth revolves and rotate around the sun.

What would be the resulting condition of earths axis was perpendicular to the sun?

It would have affected duration of day and night. And weather would have remained same at a particular area whole year. Because when north pole is away from sun summer season is prevailed in that area. if axis of earth become perpendicular then distance of a place from sun would remain same.
