because the earth is tilted, the sun's rays today hits more directly at either the northern or southern hemisphere at different times of the year.

If the earth had no tilt, the sun's rays would always hit the equator directly and each place on earth would get the same amount of direct light every day of the year. It would be hottest at the equator and coldest at the poles (like on our earth today), but the difference would be that the temperatures would be gradually colder from the equator to the poles and climate would not change.

A 40 deg northern latitude the climate would be the same as 40 deg southern latitude and at 29 deg northern latitude would have same climate as 29 deg southern latitude (in principle).

We would not have season changes as the sun would always produce the same amount of directly sun light to each place every day of the year.

What are forces equal in strength but opposite in direction?

It happens when 1 force is having larger magnituge and the other is less in magnitude ........ and then the forces does not balance each other Take the example of weight and tension of a body connected by string . weight and tension are always opposite in the direction if the weight is suppose 12 newton and tension is 10 newton , then same thing will happen , they can't balance each other ...... as the strength of weight is more than tension


What makes seasons happen?

Seasons happen because of the tilt of Earth's axis as it orbits the sun. This tilt causes different regions of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, which leads to changes in temperature and weather patterns. The combination of the tilt of the Earth and its orbit around the sun results in the four distinct seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter.


What is relationship between season and revolution of earth?

The changing seasons are a result of the Earth's revolution around the sun. As the Earth orbits the sun, its axial tilt causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight, leading to the distinct seasons we experience.


Sometimes there is warm weather and cold weather why does this happen?

There are two main phenomenon that affect weather temperatures. There are seasons and there are fronts. With seasons the earth tilts the different hemispheres closer to or farther from the sun. For example, during winter it gets cold because the hemisphere experiencing that season is tilted away from the sun. During summer is gets hot because that hemisphere is tilted toward it. Fronts are a little more complicated. There are two types of fronts. The warm front is a air mass that as it moves warms things up and goes in a South to North Direction. The cold front is the opposite and instead of the air mass warming things up it cools things down as it moves from a north to south direction.


What will happen to a seismic wave when it is reflected?

When a seismic wave is reflected, it will bounce off a boundary between different materials and change direction. This can cause the wave to be redirected back towards its source or continue traveling in a different direction.

Can the velocity of object reverse direction when its acceleration is constant?

Yes, the velocity of an object can reverse direction even when its acceleration is constant. This can happen when the object is subjected to an acceleration in the opposite direction to its initial velocity, causing it to slow down and eventually reverse direction.
