Does daylight increase in the summer?

Answer 1

because the area you live in, in the is more pointed towards the sun in the summer. but in the winter, its not. The Earth spins on its axis, but the poles of the axis actually rotate a little bit over the course of the year. I will assume you live in the Northern Hemisphere for this explanation. In summer, this hemisphere is tilted a little bit more towards the sun, so that it is higher in the sky and therefore actually takes longer to cross the sky, resulting in more daylight. In winter the opposite is true, with the sun taking a shorter path across the sky and shortening the days. beacauseof the way the earth is tilted on its axe. keep in mind that it is always opposite times on the other side of the earth.

Answer 2

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.
The day cycle stays the same for the entire year, but the sun stays up longer in the summer than in the winter. The winter solstice, December 21st, is known as the shortest day of the year because the sun goes down the earliest.

Answer 3

That depends on your lattitude. In summer, the length of the day is usually longer than the length of the night, but the length of the day can be anything between about 12 hours (close to the equator, lattitude 0) to 24 hours (north of the northen arctic circle, or south of the southern arctic circle).

Answer 4

No. In summer, days are longer, and the Sun is higher in the sky on average; THEREFORE it gets hotter.

Answer 5

Longer.

Answer 6

Yes
