How Does the tilt of earths axis affect the number of daylight hours and the temperature of a location on earths?
If the Earth's axis was vertical - every point on its surface would have the same length of day and night, no matter what time of year it was. The tilt of the axis (to about 11 degrees) means that, as the Earth rotates, and travels around the sun, the length of day shortens and lengthens throughout the year.
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)
When the south end of earths axis is tilted toward the sun what season is it?
winter
When daylight saving times comes in March what is the position of the earth?
For those in the northern hemisphere, around March 21st (and again in October) is the half way point between the shortest day (Winter solstice) around December 21st and the longest day (summer solstice) around June 21st. Its all to do with the earths tilt, March 21st, or around that time is when we have one of the equinoxes, where the earth tilt is such that it neither points away or towards the sun, the length of day is the same for the whole planet (12 hours).
When the South Pole is tilted toward the sun what season does the US and Canada start?
Your answer depends on where you are. At the South Pole when the Earth is tilted toward the Sun, it's summer.

What planet length in day is close to the length of earths day?
Mars.
Why longest day and shortest night?
Because of the earths tilt of 22.5 degrees
What is a result in changes in solar energy that create day and night?
Earths tilt
What is determined by the earth's revolution and angle of tilt?
The length of the day and the length of the seasons
Why does the sun set at different imes each day?
Because of the earths axial tilt.

What is earths day length?
24 hours.
How does the movement of the earth affect the length of its day and its year?
the tilt of the planet
Do day lengths change?
The length of a day (one rotation of the earth) does not change by any significant amount. The amount of daylight received will vary according to your latitude due to the axial tilt if the earth and the earths position in its orbit around the sun

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.
