In summer the suns rays travel directly to the surface at a steep angle, so are still warm. In winter the rays strike at a shallower angle, and cool down rapidly as they travel a longer distance through the atmosphere before reaching the surface.

How far does the earth tilt when going from summer to winter?
The earth is tilted 23.4°, so from summer to winter, when the tilt is away from the sun, the difference is 46.8°.
The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?
No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.
What is responsible for earth's season?
The earth rotating on its axis. When the northern hemisphere is facing the sun it is summer. In the southern it is winter.
Where in the world is it continuously light in the summer and dark in the winter?
The earth Axis Tilt The end. The earth Axis Tilt The end.
Which describes how earth's orbit around the sun determines the seasons of earth?
As you might know that the earth spins on a tilt. So when one side of the earth's tilt is closer to the sun its summer and the side that is far away from the sun its winter. That is why there are tropical zones which hardly tilt so the weather there mostly stay the same with a little difference in temperature.
What makes winter?

How does the Earth's tilt affect the Earth's climate?
The bigger the tilt the warmer the summer is.
Who is the reason for winter?
The seasons - this includes winter - are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis.
Is the sun farther away from the earth in winter?
no, the tilt of the earth means you are further away on the earth
Is earth farther away from the sun in the winter?

What causes the winter and summer solstices?
Thr tilt of the Earth's axis .
Is it winter everywhere on earth when the earth is closest to the sun?
no, it is winter in either the northern hemisphere or the southern hemisphere.it all depends on the tilt of the earth to the sun.
Earth would not have seasons if there was no?
Tilt. The tilt of the earth of 23 degrees means that the parts closest to the sun have summer and the other side of the world has winter.
Does the tilt of the earth affect global warming?
No, the tilt of the earth gives us seasons, winter and summer, when the earth is tilted away or towards the sun. This has nothing to do with global warming.
The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?
No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.
Why is it summer in the southern hemisphere and winter in the northern hemisphere?
because of the tilt of the earth
