On the Summer Solstice, June 21, the Sun is at about 23.5 degrees north. If you are at 50 degrees north, then at noon ("Local Apparent Noon", when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky) on June 21, the Sun will be at an altitude of 66.5 degrees above the southern horizon.
That would be summer. In summer, the northern axis of the earth is tilted toward the sun. The angle of the sun from the horizon is greater than in the winter. This is one reason summer is warmer and days are longer.
im learning about it in science but i believe summer because in the summer you get direct rays from the sun while in winter you get indirect -jaila s
the earths shape is sphere.
Because it is during the summer season that the earth is closest to the sun
Yes, sun rays are concentrated over a smaller area of land in winter due to the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth. During winter, the sun is lower in the sky, resulting in sunlight spreading over a larger surface area and reducing its intensity. This leads to cooler temperatures and less effective solar heating compared to summer, when the sun is higher and rays are more direct.

Changes in the angle of the sun's rays on the Earth cause seasons in the northern hemisphere because when the sun's rays hit the Earth at a more direct angle, it provides more concentrated heat and longer days, leading to warmer temperatures and summer. Conversely, when the sun's rays hit the Earth at a less direct angle, it diffuses the heat and results in colder temperatures and winter.
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.
The angle of the sun's rays duriing in spring is the same as the sun's rays in fall during in Florida

During the solstice (our summer for north, our winter for south).
It is the angle at which the sun's rays hit the earth
At any time of the year they are 'RADIATION'.
During the summer solstice, the Earth's North Pole is tilted towards the Sun, causing the Northern Hemisphere to experience longer daylight hours. The Sun's rays strike the Tropic of Cancer at a 90-degree angle during this time.
On the spring equinox, the angle of the sun's rays at noon in Kansas City, MO will be about 55 degrees above the horizon. On the summer solstice, the angle will be around 82 degrees. This difference is due to the tilt of Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun.
No. In the summer, the hemisphere you are in is tilted toward the sun. As a result, the sun's rays strike the surface at a steeper angle and the energy is less spread out than in other seasons, so there is more solar energy delivered to an area of a given size.
During summer months, the part of the world having summer is close to a right angle to the rays of the sun, giving the most heat to the area exposed. During winter, the tilt of the earth means the sun's rays strike the earth at an angle, meaning that they spread over a larger area, giving less heat. When it is summer in the northern half of the world, it is winter in the southern half. Temperature difference is not due to distance from the sun, but due to the tilt of the earth. If distance was the determining factor, both north and south would be the same temperature.
