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?
The northern hemisphere receives fewer direct rays from the sun in January.
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).
When the direct sun rays are hitting earth it is what season?
Summer

When the north pole tilts away from the sun where do the most direct rays strike?
When the North Pole tilts away from the sun, the most direct rays strike the Southern Hemisphere, closer to the Tropic of Capricorn. This results in winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
Where do the direct sun rays hit during the summer solstice in the nothern hemisphere?
Tropic of Capricorn
What is the relationship between the direct rays of the Sun and the seasons?
When the Sun's rays are more direct (closer to perpendicular to the surface of the ground at midday) it is hotter (some would call it "summer") When furthest from direct it is colder ("winter") between winter and summer there is spring and between summer and winter there is fall.
Is it true that during summer the sun rays are less direct?
No, during summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun's rays are more direct because the Earth is tilted towards the sun. This results in longer daylight hours and higher sun angles, leading to warmer temperatures.
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.
What hemisphere receives fewer direct rays from the sun in January than in?
The northern hemisphere receives fewer direct rays from the sun in January.
What type of rays are hitting the northern hemisphere during winter?
crampe
What part gets slanting rays of the sun in December?
In December, the Southern Hemisphere gets slanting rays of the sun, as it is summer in that part of the world during this time. The Tropic of Capricorn receives direct sunlight, causing the rays to hit the Earth at a more oblique angle, resulting in slanting rays.
What season has the highest angle of insolation?
The season with the highest angle of insolation is summer. This is due to the Earth's tilt on its axis, which causes the Sun's rays to be more direct during summer months in each hemisphere.
How does summer occure?
The earth tilts on its axis. The sun lights, direct rays move 23 degrees North during April, May and June. This results in the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
