Why do you get more hours sun per day in the summer?

Answer 1

Because the Earth is not straight up and down, it is tilted, and the part of the Earth that is experiencing Summer is the side that is tilted toward the sun at that time.

There are also more rangas in that part of the world.

Answer 2

we get more hours of daylight because the clocks go back and we get extra hours so it stays lighter.and that the moon gose throught faces and the sun it takes longer for us to go aroung it

Wow, what a mess. The changing of the clocks does not change the amount of daylight; it just shifts it in effect one hour "later" in the day during daylight saving time. The moon does not have any faces. There is no gose, throught or aroung in the English language.

Between the beginning of spring and the end of summer in the northern hemisphere, the rotational axis of the earth is tilted toward the sun, causing more of the earth's surface to be illuminated the further north you go. On the summer solstice, there is no sunset anywhere north of the Arctic Circle. On the same day, there is no sunrise anywhere south of the Antarctic Circle.

Answer 3

because the part of the earth that you are on is facing the sun, so for example at 5:00 it would be more sunny than it would if it were winter at 5:00. I hope you understand. If you dont then ask a friend or parent. : )

Answer 4

Why do days get longer in the summer?

(Lansing State Journal, May 15, 1996)

----

The first astronomers thought they could keep time by following how long it took the sun to go from one high noon to the next. However, they soon realized the sun is not a good time keeper because the length of time it takes to do this changes with the seasons. The Earth is tilted as it moves around the sun. It rotates around the sun every 365.25 days and spins on its axis once every 24 hours. The Earth's axis, a line extending from the Earth's north and south poles is tilted 23.5 degrees. As the Earth reaches a particular point in its orbit about the sun, the northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun while the Southern Hemisphere tilts away from it. The imaginary line that divides the Earth into the northern and southern hemispheres is the equator. Michigan is in the northern hemisphere. The season when we are tilted toward the Sun is out summer. During our summer, the daylight lasts more than 12 hours because the sun is at it's northernmost position from the equator. During winter, daylight lasts less than 12 hours for the north because the sun is at its southernmost position from the equator. The farther north from the equator you are, the shorter the daylight hours.

Answer 5

During summer, the Earth's tilt is such that the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, allowing for more direct sunlight and longer daylight hours in that region. This results in longer days and shorter nights during summer.

Answer 6

Because the axis of the Earth is tilted. The farther you are from the equator the more sun you get during the summer months.

Answer 7

because the sun is pointing more directly at the hemisphere it is summer on.
