Does the seasonal cycle occurs because Earth is closer to the sun in the summer than in the winter?

The Earth rotates on it's axis. In the summer, the Earth is tilted towards the sun. In the winter, the Earth is titled away from the sun. On the Earth, the northern regions (above the equator) have winter, while the southern regions (below the equator) have summer. Then, the opposite becomes true. The southern regions have winter, while the norther regions have summer. The distance nearer and farther from the sun makes no difference as far as the Earth's summer and winter is concerned.


Why do forests get cold in winter?

It isn't the forest that causes the low temperature, it is the winter. In winter, a hemisphere of the Earth is tilted away from the sun and receives less sunlight, hence, it gets cold. This is true for forests or any other kind of region.

There is no simple true or false answer. The seasons go around in a circle. Winter starts immediately after autumn ends. Then six months after winter ends, autumn comes again, followed by another winter, and so on. Every winter comes before the next autumn and after the last autumn.


When Antarctica has summer what season is it in the us?

On average it is anywhere from -4 degrees F to -80 degrees F in June, August, and September. The warmest winter in Antarctica was 3 degrees Fahrenheit, to give a clue at about how warm it will ever get.In the year I was in Antarctica (1963), the temperature reached about 40 F at McMurdo Station, but the average temperature was near 32 F. At South Pole Station, air temperature reached its warmest at about minus 5 F, but averaged a little colder than that. The clear sky and bright Sun made it seem warmer, however.


Why is fall and winter shorter than spring and summer?

Fall and winter are not actually shorter than spring and summer in terms of the number of days. The perception of fall and winter being shorter may be due to the rapid changes in daylight hours and weather patterns during these seasons, making them feel more fleeting. Additionally, the anticipation of the holidays and changing seasons may make fall and winter seem to pass by more quickly.

Is it true humid continental climates receive less precipitation in s precipitation in somewhere in summer than in winter?

Yes, it is true that humid continental climates often receive less precipitation in summer than in winter. This pattern is due to the influence of seasonal temperature changes, where winter storms can bring significant snowfall, while summer months may experience drier conditions. However, this can vary by specific location, as some humid continental regions may have summer rainfall peaks. Overall, the general trend is more winter precipitation compared to summer.
