Why is a winter day colder than a summer day even though we are closer to the sun in the winter?
Because the earth's axis is tilted. From September to March, the Northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. This means that the sun is at a lower angle and doesn't heat the atmosphere as well as it does in summer -- so it's colder.

Why is Vermont colder in the winter?
Colder compared to what? It is colder in the winter than in the summer because the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun in the winter. It is colder in Vermont compared to southern states because it is farther from the equator, and therefore receives lesss heat from the sun
In the winter the high temperature is 9 degrees colder than the summer low of -31f and the winter low temperature is 54 degrees colder than that what is the winter low temperature in Antarctica?

How does earth's revolution around the sun causes the yearly cycle of seasons?
The farther the sun gets away from the earth, the colder it is, that is WInter and Fall. The closer it gets the warmer it gets. That is Spring and Summer.
Why does the sun heat up the earth more in the summer time than winter?
Reason is simple, we know earth revolves around the sun, in the winter earth comes closer to sun in it's elliptical orbit. The distance between the Earth and the sun during winter is more than during summer, that is reason why earth gets more energy from the sun in summer compared with winter.
Why does the angular diameter of the sun as seen from earth appear to be greater during our winter than summer?
earth is closer to the Sun during our winter
In the nordis nations which is longer summer or winter?
The winter and summer should be the same length no matter where you are. If you bring in temperature, it should be colder longer due to being closer to the northern magnetic pole.
What is the difference between continental and marine climates?
A marine climate will generally be cooler in summer and milder in winter and a continental climate will be hotter in summer and colder in winter.
What causes the difference in temperature in summer and winter?
In the summer the part of the Earth that is summer is closer and in the winter it is farther away.
Why is it colder in the winter months in Newton than in the summer months?
The sun is lower in the winter.
Why is it that the temperature is hotter in summer and colder in winter?
The temperature is hotter in summer and colder in winter because of the Earth's tilt on its axis. During summer, the hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, receiving more direct sunlight and heat. In winter, the hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, resulting in less direct sunlight and colder temperatures.
How does the revolution of the earth around the sun cause the seasons?
The farther the sun gets away from the earth, the colder it is, that is WInter and Fall. The closer it gets the warmer it gets. That is Spring and Summer.

What are sesons caused by?
The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth relative to the sun. The earths axis is tilted and not perfectly parallel with the sun's axis. This means that as the earth circles the sun half the planet will be closer to the sun then the other. When half is closer that is summer. (closer = hotter). When it is farthest away that is winter (father = colder). Spring and fall are the transition times in between. When the tilt is moving away from the sun it is getting farther and farther away and getting colder...(fall). When it gets closer then it gets warmer leading to spring. Food for thought....when its summer in the USA..its winter in Australia
Why is it colder in washington dc then in southern texas in winter?
southern Texas is closer to the equator
Why is it warmer in Denmark during summer than in Switzerland during winter - Switzerland has a lower latitude and is closer to the tropics?
But Denmark is lower in elevation, and closer to the ocean. Oceans moderate temperatures around land, while increased altitude is colder.
