What causes there to be different seasons in the different hemispheres on the earth?
There is a lot of land in the north; that makes the summers hotter and the winters colder. There is a lot of ocean in the south; that makes the seasons milder.The earth is nearest the sun in January and farthest in July; that makes northern winter warmer and summer cooler. It also makes southern summer hotter and winter colder.
Why is the southern hemisphere warmer than the northern hemisphere?
No, the northern hemisphere summer is hotter when you look at the planetary average. The reason is that there is more land in the northern hemisphere and when the sunlight hits the land it bounces off and heats up the air much more than when sunlight hits water. So whichever side with more land will have a hotter average summer, in the earth's case, by about 4 degrees Fahrenheit. On the other hand, the amount of water in your local environment has a much greater influence on the heat of your summer than which hemisphere you're in.

Why are the reasons you experience seasons and changes in daylight hours in the northern hemisphere?
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.
Why is it hotter in summer than in winter in summer in some countries?
The earth's axis is slanted relative to the sun. When the North pole is tilted towards the sun, the northern hemisphere gets more sunlight and more heat than the southern hemisphere. 6 months later, the earth is on the other side of the sun, and the south pole is tilted towards the sun, making it warmer in the southern hemisphere and colder in the northern hemisphere. If There Was No Leap Year We Would Be Having Winter In The Summer And Summer In The Winter. - How does this help answer the question?
Why is Australia hot in winter?
The seasons are reversed south of the equator so Summer is in December and Winter is in July. It has to do with the tilt of the Earth's axis. In June, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun which means it receives more hours of sunshine than the southern hemisphere and is therefore warmer than the southern hemisphere. In December, the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, receiving more hours of sunshine and is therefore warmer. Parts of Australia - particularly the northern regions, which are closer to the equater - are not cold in the winter.
Which is hotter southern or northern?
southern hemisphere
Would it be hotter if the hemisphere when it is tilted toward or away from the sun?
it would be hotter if it were tilted toward it as it would be getting more direct sunlight than the other hemisphere

What are 4 reasons for the seasons?
Earths tilt toward the Sun causes seasons, so when its Summer in the Northern hemisphere it is Winter in the Southeren hemisphere. The angle of sunlight in Summer makes it hotter than in Winter. Which also means that Summer has direct Sun/heat energy while Winter has angled Sun/heat energy. And finally Earths axis causes the seasons also.

Where is it hot on Christmas day?
in the southern hemisphere, where the seasons are the opposite from the northern hemisphere. that means its summer during christmas. also in northern hemisphere, the closer you are to the equator the hotter its going to be, even in December.
How do use solar in a sentence?
"The solar rays are hotter on the equator than in the northern hemisphere."
Is summer hotter because earth is closest to the sun during this time?
No. In fact Earth is at its farthest point from the sun in early July and at its closest point in January. Earth's axis of rotation is tilted so relative to its orbit, so each hemisphere is alternately tilted toward and away from the sun. When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun it experiences summer while the southern hemisphere, which is tilted away, experiences winter. When a hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, sunlight strikes the surface there at a steeper angle, so the sunlight is less spread out than it would be hitting at a shallow angle. The more concentrated sunlight results in greater heating.

When Earth is closest to the sun the northern hemisphere is in winter why is this true?
When Earth is closest to the sun the southern hemisphere receives more of the sun's rays, making it hotter, or summer there, and winteri nthe north.
When earth closest to the sun the northern hemisphere is in the winter why is this true?
When Earth is closest to the sun the Southern Hemisphere receives more of the sun's rays, making it hotter, or summer there, and winteri nthe north.
