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.
Why is it summer in the southern hemisphere when it is winter in the northen hemisphere?
Summer is when the sun is most direct over a hemisphere. It alternates between hemispheres because the earth's axis (the line between the earth's north and south poles about which the earth spins) is tilted (not perfectly perpendicular) relative to the earth-sun plane, and as the earth revolves (or orbits) around the Sun, the tilt presents cycling points toward the sun.
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.)
What hemisphere is tilted towards the sun during summer?
It depends on which hemisphere you live in. North of the equator, it is the northern hemisphere that is tilted towards the sun in the summer, resulting in longer days and warmer temperatures, while at the same time the southern hemisphere gets less sunlight resulting in shorter days and cooler weather. When the Earth tilts the other way, the opposite occurs and it is the north's turn to experience winter while the south enjoys summer.
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.
When the South Pole is tilted toward the sun what season does the US and Canada start?
Your answer depends on where you are. At the South Pole when the Earth is tilted toward the Sun, it's summer.
The south end of earth's axis is tilted toward the sun in?
The south end of Earth's axis is tilted toward the sun in December. This tilt causes the Southern Hemisphere to experience summer during this time.
When the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun what season is it in Florida?
Summer in the southern hemisphere -- when the South Pole is tilted toward the the Sun, it's winter in the northern hemisphere -- including the state of Florida.
When it is summer at the South Pole what happens?
the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres are tilted toward the Sun, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, and the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
Which pole is tilted in the month of June?
There is only one axis and it is always tilted. The part of the axis we call the 'north' pole is tilted toward the sun in the northern summer, and the 'south' pole is tilted toward the sun during the southern summer. That said, the earth itself is a little closer to the sun during the southern summer/northern winter.
When the south pole is tilted toward the sun for a few months what season is it?
Summer in the southern hemisphere, winter in the northern.
When the north end of earths axis is tilted toward the sun what season is it in the southern hemishphere?
At its full extent, the South Pole is tilted about 23.5 degrees toward or away from the Sun.
Why do Seasonal change?
Seasons change because the Earth revolves around the sun in a period of one year; you have the southern hemisphereand the northen hemisphere of the Earth. Earth is tilted with respect to its orbit around the sun. So when our North Pole is tilted toward the sun, we get summer in the Northern Hemisphere (winter in the south). When the South Pole is tilted toward the sun, we get winter. So if a planet is tilted with respect to its orbit around the sun, it should have seasons
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.
Which pole is tilted toward the sun when it's winter in the southern hemisphere?
When it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere it's summer in the northern hemisphere. Therefore the North geographic pole is tilted towards the sun and the South geographic pole is tilted away from the sun.
When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun what season is it in north America?
It would be mid winter in the US as well.
When the north pole is tilted towards the sun it is what in northern hemisphere?
More direct rays and longer days (summer).
