No. The Northern Hemisphere (which the United States is in) axial tilt is the farthest from our Sun, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. During that same time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, and it is summer time in the Southern Hemisphere.
What else can I help you with?
NY state has several more hours of daylight in summer than winter why?
This difference in daylight hours between summer and winter in New York State is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. During summer, the Northern Hemisphere, including New York State, is tilted toward the sun, resulting in longer daylight hours. In winter, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, leading to shorter daylight hours.
When the earth is tilted toward the sunthe Northern Hemisphere is experiencing what?
When the Earth is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing summer. This is because the tilt allows the Northern Hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight and longer days, resulting in warmer temperatures.
What would happen if the south end of earth's axis was tilted toward the sun?
If the south end of Earth's axis were tilted toward the sun, the Southern Hemisphere would experience longer and more intense summers, while the Northern Hemisphere would have shorter and milder summers. This would result in significant shifts in weather patterns and temperatures across the globe.
Why are summer days warmer to winter days?
Summer days are warmer than winter days because during the summer, the Earth's axis is tilted towards the sun, leading to more direct sunlight and longer days. This results in more heat being absorbed by the Earth's surface, leading to higher temperatures. In contrast, during winter, the Earth's axis is tilted away from the sun, resulting in less direct sunlight and shorter days, leading to cooler temperatures.
What causes summer to be warmer than winter?
The Earth leans into the sun, sunlight hits at more direct angle and is more effective at heating to Earth's surface. Sun appears high in sky and rays hit more directly, spreading out less light rays.
Which hemisphere is tilted toward the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere?
The southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere. This is because Earth's axis is tilted, causing the opposite hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight during winter in the northern hemisphere.
Why are temperature more mild during an equinox?
The earths axis is not tilted directly toward the sun.
Why are temperatures more mild during a equinox?
The earths axis is not tilted directly toward the sun.
Are there more hours of sunlight in the summer or winter?
Unless you live on the equator, you have more hours of daylight during summer. On the equator, sunrise and sunset are 12 hours apart every day, all year long. During summer, your hemisphere is tilted toward the sun while the opposite hemisphere is tilted away from the sun and is having winter. See http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream//global/global_intro.htm for a diagram.

Does the hemishpere that is tilted away from the sun have more daylight?
No, in order to get more sunlight you must be tilted toward the sunlight.
Are daylight hours shorter for the hemisphere that is tilted toward the sun during the solstice?
No, daylight hours are longer for the hemisphere that is tilted toward the sun during the solstice. This hemisphere receives more direct sunlight, leading to longer days and shorter nights.
When the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun what happens?
When the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, it experiences summer because more sunlight is focused on that region. This results in longer days and warmer temperatures. Conversely, when the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it experiences winter due to receiving less sunlight.
How does the length of daytime and night time affects the seasons?
The length of daylight or nighttime hours does not affect the seasons, but the seasons affect the length of daytime and nighttime hours. During the summer, the earth is tilted more toward the sun, resulting in longer daytime hours. During the winter months, the earth is tilted away from the sun, resulting in shorter days and longer nights.
Would it be hotter if the hemisphere when it is tilted toward or away from the sun?
it would be hotter if it were tilted toward it as it would be getting more direct sunlight than the other hemisphere
Is summer hotter because earth is closest to the sun during this time?
No. In fact Earth is at its farthest point from the sun in early July and at its closest point in January. Earth's axis of rotation is tilted so relative to its orbit, so each hemisphere is alternately tilted toward and away from the sun. When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun it experiences summer while the southern hemisphere, which is tilted away, experiences winter. When a hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, sunlight strikes the surface there at a steeper angle, so the sunlight is less spread out than it would be hitting at a shallow angle. The more concentrated sunlight results in greater heating.
When its summer in the northern hemisphere what is in the southern hemisphere why?
WinterWhen the north end of the earths axis is tilted toward the sun, the northern hemisphere has summer. At the same time, the south end of earths axis is tilted away from the sun. As a result the southerns hemisphere has winter.
