How do the tilt of earths axis and earths movement around the sun causes seasons?

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the northern hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.


When the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun is it summer in both hemispheres?

No, that would be impossible, because the Earth is basically an orb -- round. When the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun, it's summer in the Southern Hemisphere -- and Winter in the Northern Hemisphere.


What happens during midwinter when the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun?

When it is winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere. The North Pole is tilted away from the Sun in December. (That means that the Northern Hemisphere is also tilted away from the Sun in December.)


When someone says that the wind direction today is south does this mean that the wind is blowing toward the south or from the south?

The wind is blowing toward the south.


Seasons in the two hemispheres are opposite Explain how this supports the statement that seasons are not caused by Earth's changing distance from the Sun?

The axis of the Earth is tilted which gives us seasons. Only one of the hemispheres, north or south, can be tilted toward the Sun, while the other is tilted away. If the northern hemisphere is tipped toward the sun, then it is warmer and the days are longer, which gives us summer. But the days are shorter and it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere. If the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it is colder and that gives us winter. But in the southern hemisphere it is then summer. In Australia or South America, you can have Christmas dinner on the beach if you want.

Is the south end of Earth's axis tilted toward the sun in march?

The 'equinoxes' occur in March and September. At those times, neither pole is tilted toward or away from the sun. At the time of the June solstice, the north pole reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, whereas at the time of the December solstice, the south pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun.
