How does the tilt of Earths axis affect the numbet of daylight hours and the teperature of a location on Earth?
The tilt of Earth's axis, approximately 23.5 degrees, causes variations in daylight hours and temperature throughout the year. During summer in a given hemisphere, that hemisphere tilts toward the Sun, resulting in longer daylight hours and higher temperatures. Conversely, during winter, the hemisphere tilts away from the Sun, leading to shorter daylight hours and cooler temperatures. This axial tilt is responsible for the changing seasons experienced in different regions of the Earth.
Why do the hours of daylight increase in the summer?
The earths rotational axis is tilted approx. 23 degrees from vertical The earths rotational axis remains parallel throughout its rotation around the sun, high summer (longest day) in the northern hemisphere, is when the top of the axis is at full tilt toward the sun. (shortest day in the southern hemisphere)
Why 22 December is shortest day?
Daylight hours on the winter solstice are shorter than the rest of the year because of the Earths rotational tilt. That tilt faces the northern hemisphere away from the sun. This causes the apparent position of the sun throughout the day to be the furthest south during the year and daylight hours to shorten. At the same time of the year the southern hemisphere is experiencing the exact opposite, the longest daylight hours of the year.
What is the relationship between the Earth and sun that causes the seasons to occur?
The seasons we experience on Earth, where we see more daylight in the summer and less in the winter, come about due to the tilt in the earths axis. This tilt of 23.5° to the horizontal means that during its progression around the sun in one year, the northern hemisphere will `lean` towards the sun more at one part of the cycle, giving rise to summer months for the northern hemisphere and winter months for the southern hemisphere. Six months later, with the earth on the other side of the sun, the tilt causes the northern hemisphere to be less exposed to the sun, tilting away from it. This gives winter for the northern hemisphere (less daylight hours and lower sun during the day) and summer for the summer hemisphere.
The tilt of earths access as earth revolves around the sun causes?
The different hemispheres of the earth are pointed either more or less directly towards the sun, this creates either a steady increase or decrease (depending on whether you live in the north or south hemisphere) in temperature. For instance, today, Michigan is experiencing some snow and colder temperatures. This is because the Northern Hemisphere is tilted less directly towards the sun, therefore receiving less heat.
Why are there many hours of daylight in summer and few daylight hours?
Has to do with the earths tilt and whether you live in the northern or southern hemisphere.
Why is it summer in earths northern hemisphere at the same time its winter in the southern hemisphere?
This happens because of the tilt of Earth's axis. During the summer in the Northern Hemisphere, that part of the Earth is tilted towards the Sun, receiving more direct sunlight and causing warmer temperatures. At the same time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, experiencing winter with fewer daylight hours and cooler temperatures.
During summer which way is the earths axis tilted?
depends on which hemisphere you live if on top it is towards the sun
What are the daylight hours of Saturn vs earths daylight hours?
11 hours

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 are the three main winds?
northern hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, and earths rotation

This gives winter for the northern hemisphere (less daylight hours and lower sun during the day) and summer for the summer hemisphere.
Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
In which hemisphere is most of the earths land?
east
In winter does the Southern Hemisphere south end of Earths axis is tilted away from the sun?
Yes, in winter, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun. This tilt results in shorter daylight hours and lower solar angle, leading to cooler temperatures. Consequently, countries in the Southern Hemisphere experience winter during the months of June to August.
