When its summer in the northern hemisphere what is in the southern hemisphere why?
WinterWhen the north end of the earths axis is tilted toward the sun, the northern hemisphere has summer. At the same time, the south end of earths axis is tilted away from the sun. As a result the southerns hemisphere has winter.
Why do the hours of daylight increase in the summer?
The earths rotational axis is tilted approx. 23 degrees from vertical The earths rotational axis remains parallel throughout its rotation around the sun, high summer (longest day) in the northern hemisphere, is when the top of the axis is at full tilt toward the sun. (shortest day in the southern hemisphere)
Why does summer occur in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis isn't in alignment with the sun's axis. Rather it is tilted, so during part of the earths orbit around the sun, the northern hemisphere receives sunlight that is more nearly perpendicular to the earths surface. Then when Earth is on the exact opposite side of the sun the opposite applies. Earths rotation around the sun is completely independent of its daily rotation, so its North to South axis remains in a completely fixed position during its entire rotational cycle. (There is a significant wobble, but it has a period of 26,000 years).
Is it true that the seasons are caused in part by the tilt of earths axis?
yes, it is. since the earth's axis is tilted, let's say ur in the northern hemisphere, then when the north side is tilted toward the sun then it's summer. if it's tilted sideways so it's not tilted toward or away from the sun, then it's either spring or fall.
How do the tilt of earths axis and earths movement around the sun cause season?
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the northern hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Why are seasons reversed in northern and southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis is tilted.
When the south end of earths the axis is tilted toward the sun?
it is winter in the northern hemisphere
Why are the seasons reversed in the northern and southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis is tilted.
Why is it summer in northern hemisphere and winter in southern hemisphere?
It is like this because the Earths axis is tilted which effects the seasons in the hemispheres.
During summer which way is the earths axis tilted?
depends on which hemisphere you live if on top it is towards the sun
If the earths tilts toward the sun in the northern hemisphere and it is summer what is happening in the northern hemisphere?
The southern end of the earth's axis is tilted away from the sun during that time,and it is Winter down there.
What is the earths axis and orbit?
No, it is not. It is tilted in comparison to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This is why we have different times of seasons in the northern and southern hemisphere.
Why in June is it summer in the southern hemisphere and winter in the northern hemisphere?
sure
Which hemisphere is tilted toward the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere?
The southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere. This is because Earth's axis is tilted, causing the opposite hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight during winter in the northern hemisphere.
What season is it when the earths northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun?
If the northern axis or North Pole is tilted directly towards the sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. If your talking about the angle of the planet when the Northern Hemisphere is receiving direct rays, its summer. If you are asking what the Northern Hemisphere season it is when planet Earth is closest to the Sun, it's winter.
Why does winter have to be the shortest day of the year?
During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the earth is tilted by its axis so the Northern Hemisphere is away from the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is closer to the sun. During winter in the Southern Hemisphere, the earth axis is tilted the other way, so that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is farther away.
How is Earths tilted axis is responsible for seasons?
earths axis is responsible for seasons because if its tilted toward the sun then it would be summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern now if it was tilted away from the sun then it would be winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere
