It is winter in the northern hemisphere when the southern hemisphere tilts toward the sun. Interestingly enough, the Earth is closer to the Sun at that time!

The (slight - 0.0167 ) eccentricity of the Earths orbit puts this planet at aphelion (furthest from the Sun) in the beginning of July and perihelion (closest to the Sun) in the beginning of January.

This is one of the many factors that makes the Southern hemisphere seasons more extreme than those of the northern hemisphere.

What season is earth in when it east of the sun?

"East of the Sun" does not make sense. The directions North, South, East and West are relative to the Earth's prime meridian and equator, or to a specific spot on the Earth, not relative to a position with respect to the Sun. Please restate the question.


When the earth is in position shown above the southern hemisphere experiences the start of because that?

When the Earth is in that position, the Southern Hemisphere experiences the start of summer because it is tilted towards the Sun, receiving more direct sunlight. This results in longer days, higher temperatures, and the start of the summer season in the Southern Hemisphere.


What season is it in Britain if the north of the earth is tilted away from the sun?

It would be winter in Britain when the north of the Earth is tilted away from the sun. This position causes less direct sunlight to reach the northern hemisphere, resulting in colder temperatures during this season.


Describe the position of the earth in relation to the sun during winter in the Northern Hemisphere?

Winter is colder than Summer because the angle of the earth toward the Sun. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun during the northern Hemisphere winter but the hemisphere is angled way and gets less direct light.


Why is summer the 3rd season of the year?

That depends on your perspective. If you live in the northern hemisphere, it is winter on the 1st of January, then comes spring and then comes summer. In the southern hemisphere, it would be the opposite, with the year starting in summer and then autumn and winter. In the northern hemisphere spring is often listed as the first season, and then you have summer second and autumn is third. Again, that would be reverse in the southern hemisphere.

What is a tilted position?

When the Earth tilts towards the Sun, during the northern hemisphere tilt towards summer, the northern hemisphere enjoys warm weather, while the southern hemisphere enters their winter period. Therefore, the tilted position (of the earth) depends on where the tilt is observed, and in which season.
