The length of the day is not the reason but is a result of the season. The reason for seasons to take place is the inequality of distance between sun and earth with time. We all know that earth rotates around sun. But it won't rotate in a perfect circular path. The orbit of earth is an oval in shape. Hence, some times it will be closer to sun and some times farther. When it is closer, most of the area on earth is covered by sun. Hence, we have more day time (or length of the day) during summer. In a similar manner, as less area is covered by sun, the length of the day is less in winter.

Is NOT a direct result of Earth's rotation?

The change in seasons is not a direct result of Earth's rotation. Seasons are caused by Earth's axial tilt and its orbit around the Sun. Earth's rotation affects the length of a day and the creation of day and night, but not the change in seasons.

What is determined by the earth's revolution and angle of tilt?

The Earth's revolution around the Sun determines the length of the year and the changing seasons. The angle of tilt (23.5 degrees) causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight, leading to the seasonal changes.


What is the relationship between earth day length and the distance from the sun?

There is no direct relationship between the rotation of a planet (which governs day length) and a planets distance from the sun. The nature of the planets spin is more to do with the formation of the system early on, by large impacts of the more numerous bodies that would have been around.


How long do the seasons last in antarctica?

Seasons in Antarctica last the same amount of time as they do everywhere on earth. As well, seasons in the Southern Hemisphere are opposite those in the Northern Hemisphere. For example, June 21 is Mid-Winter's Day in Antarctica, and the first day of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
