Why is summer warmer than winter in new york?

Answer 1

due to the earth's orbit around the sun,

in June, the sun is above the tropic of cancer (23o N at northern hemisphere). this is what that causes summer in US and winter in Australia.

in December, the sun is above the tropic of Capricorn (23o S at Southern Hemisphere). this causes winter in US and summer in Australia.

Answer 2

New York is hotter in June because the sun is above the topic cancer 23 degrees in north. and in December is colder because the sun is above the tropic of Capricorn, 23 degrees in south.

New York is in the Northern Hemisphere where it is summer in June and Winter in December.

Answer 3

On or around the 21st of June is the June solstice, which is the point when the north pole is as close as it gets to pointing toward the sun. At that time, the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, which is 23 degrees 26' north latitude. Midway between sunrise and sunset on the day of the June solstice, the sun reaches a peak of around 72 degrees above the horizon as seen from New York City, and the total time between sunrise and sunset in New York is about 15 hours.

On or around the 21st of December is the December solstice, which is the point when the south pole is as close as it gets to pointing toward the sun. At that time, the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, which is 23 degrees 26' south latitude. Midway between sunrise and sunset on the day of the December solstice, the sun reaches a peak of around 26 degrees above the horizon as seen from New York, and the total time between sunrise and sunset in New York is about 9 hours.

The more direct solar energy is, the more energy it can transfer to a given unit of area. When the sun is directly over an area on Earth's surface, that area gets twice as much solar energy as when the sun is 30 degrees above the horizon.

So June in New York is warmer than December because New York gets six more hours of sunshine per day in June and especially because the sunshine reaching New York in June is much more direct.

Answer 4

Summer is warmer than winter in New York because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. During the summer months, the northern hemisphere, including New York, is tilted towards the Sun, leading to longer days and more direct sunlight. This results in higher temperatures during the summer compared to the winter when the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun.

Answer 5

This is because of the tilt of earth's axis.

Answer 6

In December, the Northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. Less sun, colder temperatures.

Answer 7

Summer in New York is warmer than the winter because the earth's axis is tlited to face the sun more directly.
