Does earth's distance from the sun affect the season's?
No it does not. Earth's seasons are affected by Earth's tilt. The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees so seasons are created by the sun's direct rays hitting different parts of the earth. Summer in the northern hemisphere starts when the sun's direct rays hit the tropic of cancer. winter occurs in the northern hemisphere when the sun's direct rays hit the tropic of capricorn. fall and spring begin when the sun's direct rays are at the equator. (By the way, summer in the norther hemisphere occurs when the earth is farthest from the sun)
Where do the direct sun rays hit during the summer solstice in the nothern hemisphere?
Tropic of Capricorn
What hemisphere receives fewer direct rays from the sun in January than in?

What time of the year is the southern hemisphere exposed to vertical rays of the sun?
When the northern hemisphere is in winter, the southern hemisphere is in summer.
When the north pole is tilted towards the sun it is what in northern hemisphere?
More direct rays and longer days (summer).

How does summer occure?

How does earth's revolution around the sun relate to seasons?
When the people in a hemisphere receive those direct rays from the sun, they enjoy the warmth of summer. When they receive only indirect rays, they experience winter, which is colder.

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.
Are the suns rays less direct in the summer?
No, they're more direct in summer. That's why they heat more.
