It is summer in the Northern Hemisphere but winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
The earth is closer to the Sun in the southern hemisphere when it is summer, but during summer in the northern hemisphere the earth is farther away by many millions of kilometres . Although this will change gradually and in 13,000 years the opposite will be true .
When Winter turns to Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, temperatures seem to increase on average. This is because Earth evolves around the Sun at an angle; and during the summer part of the revolution, the northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun, causing it to get hotter and temperatures to increase.
The seasons we experience on Earth, where we see more daylight in the summer and less in the winter, come about due to the tilt in the earths axis. This tilt of 23.5° to the horizontal means that during its progression around the sun in one year, the northern hemisphere will `lean` towards the sun more at one part of the cycle, giving rise to summer months for the northern hemisphere and winter months for the southern hemisphere. Six months later, with the earth on the other side of the sun, the tilt causes the northern hemisphere to be less exposed to the sun, tilting away from it. This gives winter for the northern hemisphere (less daylight hours and lower sun during the day) and summer for the summer hemisphere.
The northern hemisphere does not experience winter when the Earth is farthest from the sun.The cause of the seasons is the Earth's axial tilt, which is independent of the apsides of Earth's orbit, known as aphelion and perihelion.When Earth is farthest from the sun, it is at aphelion. Aphelion currently occurs in July, which is the Northern Hemisphere's summer.
During the winter solstice, the northern hemisphere of the Earth is tilted away from the sun; during the summer solstice, the northern hemisphere of the Earth is tilted towards the sun.
Because during that season, the northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun. This is caused by the earth's axis tilt.
Winter-
The Earth reaches its greatest distance from the Sun during the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere. Though it may seem counterintuitive, the distance between the Earth and the Sun varies due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit, with the Earth being farthest from the Sun during the summer months.
The northern hemisphere experiences warmer temperatures during the summer months and colder temperatures during the winter months, due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. Overall, the northern hemisphere can be warm in summer and cold in winter, depending on the season.
depends on which hemisphere you live if on top it is towards the sun
The earth is actually closer to the sun during the winter in the northern hemisphere
The earth is on an angle of 23.5 degrees. So one end of the planet is closer to the sun then the other. During the northern hemisphere's summer its is closest to the sun and the southern hemisphere is furthest from the sun.
Summer
Well gee, it's kind of difficult to describe positions of Earth in its orbit. The only way I know to describe it during northern-hemisphere Summer would be to say that it's the position where a line from the sun to the Earth points in the general direction of Orion.
The diagram likely represents the summer season in the northern hemisphere. This is suggested by the tilt of Earth's axis towards the Sun, leading to longer days and higher temperatures in this hemisphere during summer.
In that case, it is basically summer in the northern hemisphere, and winter in the southern hemisphere.In that case, it is basically summer in the northern hemisphere, and winter in the southern hemisphere.In that case, it is basically summer in the northern hemisphere, and winter in the southern hemisphere.In that case, it is basically summer in the northern hemisphere, and winter in the southern hemisphere.
