First off, it depends which angle/side of the world you are on. Secondly, the equator also affects the long and short days. And lastly, not all countries have all the 4 seasons; so their summers or winters are lengthened. Hope this info helped! :)
the earth is tilted and some parts of it get direct sunlight and other parts dont.
summer, fall, winter, springAnswerThe 4 seasons on earth are winter ,spring ,summer ,& fall / autumn. In other parts of earth there are only 2 seasons - wet and dry season
The tilt of the Earth's axis, and it's elliptical orbit around the sun. We only have 24 hours in a day, so if the nights become longer, the days have to become shorter. Seriously, it's all due to the Earth orbiting the sun in an elliptical pattern and the axis tilt, which always stays on the same plane. At the winter equinox, the days begin to get longer, until the summer equinox, when the days begin to shorten again. Note that in the winter, the sun sits much lower in the sky than during the summer, at least in the northern hemisphere. It's reversed for the southern hemisphere, as are the seasons. Hard to imagine summer for December, and snow in July, but that's how it is below the equator.
The earth's axis of rotation is tilted to the earth's path around the sun.As a result we are tilted towards the sun in the summer and away from the sun in the winter.So basically it's how the earth is tilted on it's axis.
The answer is slightly more complicated than this, but in general the tilt of the earth's axis, causes the northern hemisphere (United States) to point at the sun. So if you imagine standing on the north pole you would feel the suns rays hitting you because you are tilted toward the sun. On the contrary in the winter the Northern Hemisphere is now in a location due to having orbited around the sun, that it is tilted away from the sun. So now the suns rays don't hit the northern part of the earth due to it being at such an extreme angle pointed away from the sun. I'm sure you can search the internet and find a visual of this concept.
London is in the northern hemisphere, north of the equator. The northern hemisphere has its winter in December to February. Parts of Brazil is in the tropics, and don't really have a summer or winter, but the parts that do have that sort of climate, from around Rio and São Paulo and southwards, are in the southern hemisphere, where it is summer in December to February.
No, Canada has the four seasons in the major cities. but in other parts of Canada we experience glacial winds the entire year.
Those parts of the earth where the sun is farther due to the rotation of the earth, it occurs the winter and due to the higher distance from the sun, the light remains there for short time and evenings are longer.
There are two major motions affecting the Earth: its rotation around its axis, and its rotation around the Sun (which we call 'revolution'). While the rotation of the Earth on its axis causes the nightly movement of the stars across the sky, the revolution is responsible for the fact that we can see different parts of the sky at different parts of the year.
The Northern Hemisphere has winter during November-January, whilst the Southern Hemisphere has winter during the Northern Hemipshere's summer. Some parts of Africa are in the Northern Hemisphere whilst other parts are South of the Equator. So some parts of Africa will have winter at the same time as the US whilst the Southern Part (Kenya, South Africa etc.) will have their summer when its the US's winter!
In the southern hemisphere the summer months of the northern hemisphere are winter months and the winter months of the northern hemisphere are summer months. So the answer is no.In the southern hemisphere the summer months of the northern hemisphere are winter months and the winter months of the northern hemisphere are summer months. So the answer is no.In the southern hemisphere the summer months of the northern hemisphere are winter months and the winter months of the northern hemisphere are summer months. So the answer is no.In the southern hemisphere the summer months of the northern hemisphere are winter months and the winter months of the northern hemisphere are summer months. So the answer is no.In the southern hemisphere the summer months of the northern hemisphere are winter months and the winter months of the northern hemisphere are summer months. So the answer is no.In the southern hemisphere the summer months of the northern hemisphere are winter months and the winter months of the northern hemisphere are summer months. So the answer is no.In the southern hemisphere the summer months of the northern hemisphere are winter months and the winter months of the northern hemisphere are summer months. So the answer is no.In the southern hemisphere the summer months of the northern hemisphere are winter months and the winter months of the northern hemisphere are summer months. So the answer is no.In the southern hemisphere the summer months of the northern hemisphere are winter months and the winter months of the northern hemisphere are summer months. So the answer is no.In the southern hemisphere the summer months of the northern hemisphere are winter months and the winter months of the northern hemisphere are summer months. So the answer is no.In the southern hemisphere the summer months of the northern hemisphere are winter months and the winter months of the northern hemisphere are summer months. So the answer is no.
Hot in summer (28oC to 40oC), cold in winter (-10oC to 16oC). Though, southern areas have longer summer and milder winter temperatures, while in norther district winter may last longer an be pretty cold.
In the parts of Africa that are south of the Equator, it is winter.
the earth is tilted and some parts of it get direct sunlight and other parts dont.
The winter solstice doesn't affect the seasons. The Earth is tilted, and as it travels around the sun, different parts of it get more or less tilted towards us, which causes the seasons. A solstice is just a point that is reached twice a year, where the Earth's tilt to and from the sun is at its maximum, usually on the 21st of June and the 21st of December. When it is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, it is the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere and it is the same the other way around. A winter solstice marks the point for that hemisphere when it is at its maximum tilt away from the sun and when the days stop getting shorter and start to get longer. It will still be winter there for a bit longer, but spring will soon follow.
The four seasons in the Northern Hemisphere are spring, summer, fall (autumn), and winter. These seasons occur based on the tilt of the Earth's axis as it revolves around the sun, causing different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
When it is summer in the northern hemisphere it is winter in the southern hemisphere.So the south's winter is in the north's summer.Similarly, six months later, when it is summer in the southern hemisphere it will be winter in the northern hemisphere. So this time, the north's winter will be at the same time as the south's summer.People who live in different hemispheres can say: Our winter is in their summer. Or Their winter is in our summer.So winter can be in summer!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------INTERESTING FACT:The year 1816 was called the "Year Without a Summer" in many parts of the northern hemisphere as a consequence of the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815. The volcanic dust in the upper atmosphere reduced the amount of the sun's heat reaching the earth, and many summer-growing crops were destroyed by the frost, snow and unusually low temperatures. For many it was like winter in summer. (See Related links below)
