I can only assume that the person asking the question does not go outside.

The sun is lower in the sky in Winter, as the earth's surface is angled away from the sun. The reverse is true in Summer.

What causes the difference in temperature between summer and winter?

The said temperature is cooler compared to the surrounding environment in the Summer and warmer in the winter. Just because there is a temperature difference between the environment and the said temperature, it creates the illusion that it is cooler in the Summer and warmer in the Winter.


Why is the sun lower in winter than in summer?

The Earth's tilt on its axis causes the sun's angle to change throughout the year, leading to lower sun angles in winter and higher angles in summer. This tilt affects the amount of direct sunlight received at different latitudes, resulting in varying seasons.


Why does the sunrise earlier in the summer then the winter?

The sunrise occurs earlier in the summer than in the winter due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the summer, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, which causes the Sun to rise earlier. In contrast, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun in the winter, resulting in later sunrises.


Does the seasonal cycle occurs because Earth is closer to the sun in the summer than in the winter?

The Earth rotates on it's axis. In the summer, the Earth is tilted towards the sun. In the winter, the Earth is titled away from the sun. On the Earth, the northern regions (above the equator) have winter, while the southern regions (below the equator) have summer. Then, the opposite becomes true. The southern regions have winter, while the norther regions have summer. The distance nearer and farther from the sun makes no difference as far as the Earth's summer and winter is concerned.


What is the difference between winter and summer?

Winter is the coldest season of the year, characterized by shorter days, colder temperatures, and potentially snowfall in some regions. Summer, on the other hand, is the warmest season with longer days, higher temperatures, and typically more sunshine. The primary difference lies in the temperature and weather patterns experienced during each season.

Why does the height of the sun at midday change throughout the year?

What happems to the height of the sun in summer and winter?

it is 'bigger' in summer. although the arc remains roughly the same, you are just seeing the tip of the arc in winter, and more of the same arc in summer. in very northern or southern places, winter can mean not seeing any arc of the sun whatsoever (totally dark for days or months) or seeing part of the arc constantly (meaning the sun is always up in summer or always down in winter, such as antarctica and parts of far north Canada and Greenland)


Why the difference between day and night more felt during winters than summers?

You can feel the difference more in winter than summer because winter has less sun light than summer


What is the difference between the path of the sun in summer and winter?

The path of the sun in summer is higher in the sky, resulting in longer days and more direct sunlight. In winter, the sun's path is lower, leading to shorter days and less intense sunlight. This difference in the sun's path is a result of the tilt of Earth's axis as it orbits the sun.


Why are shadows longer at midday in winter than summer?

i think its to do with the sun, when the sun moves the size of your shadow moves. at midday its the shortest :))


Why is a shadow longer in the summer than winter?

In the summer, the sun is higher in the sky, casting shadows that are shorter. In the winter, the sun is lower in the sky, creating longer shadows. This difference in the angle of the sun's rays causes the length of shadows to vary between the seasons.


Why there is hardly any difference between summer and winter temperatures in equatorial region?

Because its generally the same distance away from the sun year round as opposed to other places that are closer or farther in summer or winter.
