The Earth's axis is tilted by about 23°. So as we orbit the sun, at times part of the Earth is tilted towards to sun, which is when those parts of the world experience summer, and parts of the world are tilted away from it, which is when we have winter. In spring and autumn, the Earth is tilting, but doing so parallel to the sun, so no part is significantly closer. The tilt of the Earth causes its seasons. If you imagine standing at the North Pole, not only would you be very cold, but you could almost certainly look one way and spin around very fast and it would be always be day or night depending on which side you chose to look. Now imagine the world is tilting as well. The North Pole would either be constantly pointing at the sun or away and it wouldn't be yourchoice. This gets less extreme as you go nearer the equator.
What else can I help you with?
What are earths four motions?
Earth has four main motions: rotation, which causes day and night; revolution, which causes the annual seasons; precession, which causes a slow wobble in its axis; and nutation, which causes a slight variation in the tilt of its axis.
How does earths rotation influence the movement of global winds?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
What season is it when the earths northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun?
If the northern axis or North Pole is tilted directly towards the sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. If your talking about the angle of the planet when the Northern Hemisphere is receiving direct rays, its summer. If you are asking what the Northern Hemisphere season it is when planet Earth is closest to the Sun, it's winter.
What process causes water on earths surface to change to gas and rise into the atmosphere?
The process that causes water on Earth's surface to change to gas and rise into the atmosphere is called evaporation. This occurs when the sun's heat energy causes water molecules to gain enough energy to break free from the liquid's surface and enter the air as water vapor.
What causes rainy season?
The rainy season is caused by shifts in wind patterns and atmospheric conditions, such as the monsoon winds or the movement of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), which bring moisture-laden air to a particular region. These conditions lead to increased cloud cover and precipitation, resulting in the rainy season.
Which of these causes the earth to experience season?
The Earths Inclination A+
What causes season changes in Norway?
The earths orbit around the sun.
What causes us have season?
the earths tilt and the orbit around the sun
What causes changes to earths land form?
what causes changes to earths landform
How do you get season?
Since the earths orbit is not exactly even, when we are closer to the earth it causes warmer seasons and when we are further away it causes colder seasons.)
What causes all of the changes that take place in earths atmosphere?
what causes all of the changes that take place in earths atmosphere is the tilt of the earths axis
What causes earths spinning that causes night and day?
rotation
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
How does earths tilt cause the season?
The earth's tilt changes the declination of the sun, thus crating seasons.The sun's declination causes spring summer, fall and winter.
What does the angle of earths sunlight causes?
caca
What is the causes by earths rotation?
coriolis effect
What causes saesons?
The earths tilt at its axis
