What is responsible for earth's season?
The earth rotating on its axis. When the northern hemisphere is facing the sun it is summer. In the southern it is winter.
The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?
No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.
Does earth have both summer and winter at the same time?
Yes it does. When it is winter in the north it is summer in the south. When it is summer in the north it is winter in the south.
Where in the world is it continuously light in the summer and dark in the winter?
The earth Axis Tilt The end. The earth Axis Tilt The end.
What determines changes in the earth seasons?
The Earth's revolution around the Sun, combined with its axial tilt. In summer at a particular latitude the heating effect of the Sun is usually a lot more than in the winter at that latitude. This is because the tilt is "towards" the Sun in the summer, but "away" from the Sun in the winter. The seasons are not caused by the small changes in the Earth's distance from the Sun during its orbit.
How does the Earth's tilt affect the Earth's climate?
The bigger the tilt the warmer the summer is.
What causes the winter and summer solstices?
Thr tilt of the Earth's axis .
Why is it summer in the southern hemisphere and winter in the northern hemisphere?
because of the tilt of the earth
Why is there more heat in the summer than in the winter?
because of the earth's tilt on its axis
What position of the earth affects whether there will be a winter solstice or a summer solstice?
Tilt
Earth would not have seasons if there was no?
Tilt. The tilt of the earth of 23 degrees means that the parts closest to the sun have summer and the other side of the world has winter.
What causes the temperature between summer and winter?
Our proximity to the Sun - and the tilt in the Earth's axis.
Why is the sun higher in the sky in summer and lower in the winter?
Because of the tilt of Earth's axis.
Does the tilt of the earth affect global warming?
No, the tilt of the earth gives us seasons, winter and summer, when the earth is tilted away or towards the sun. This has nothing to do with global warming.
How do change the?
The seasons change because of the Earth's tilt. When it's summer, the tilt will be facing more to the sun. When it's winter, the tilt will be facing away from the sun.
Why does the sun appear lower in the sky in winter compared to summer?
The Earth's axis tilt is responsible.
If it is summer in north America how is it possible to be winter in Australia?
It is all because of the tilt of the Earth's axis.
