From March 21 until September 21, maximum on June 21.
The 'equinoxes' occur in March and September. At those times, neither pole is tilted toward or away from the sun. At the time of the June solstice, the north pole reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, whereas at the time of the December solstice, the south pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun.
No, when the North Pole points in the direction of the sun it is the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere. This is because during this time the Northern Hemisphere receives more direct sunlight, leading to warmer weather and longer days.
It only does this if you live north of the equator. South of the equator, it is the shortest day. Thre reason is that the Earth's north pole is more or less pointed towards the Sun on June 21st.
During the summer months, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the Arctic Circle (which includes parts of the tundra) to experience 24 hours of daylight in what is known as the Midnight Sun phenomenon. This occurs because the region is tilted towards the sun, allowing it to remain above the horizon throughout the day and night.
When the North Pole is leaning toward the sun, the days are longer in the Northern Hemisphere due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This tilt results in the Northern Hemisphere receiving more direct sunlight, leading to longer days as the North Pole experiences continuous daylight during this time, such as during the summer months.
The 'equinoxes' occur in March and September. At those times, neither pole is tilted toward or away from the sun. At the time of the June solstice, the north pole reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, whereas at the time of the December solstice, the south pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun.
In June, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth. So I'd assume that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun at that time, and that would probably occur because the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during June. In fact, the Summer Solstice is in the middle of June somewhere.
When it is winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere. The North Pole is tilted away from the Sun in December. (That means that the Northern Hemisphere is also tilted away from the Sun in December.)
WinterWhen the north end of the earths axis is tilted toward the sun, the northern hemisphere has summer. At the same time, the south end of earths axis is tilted away from the sun. As a result the southerns hemisphere has winter.
Winter. The Earth has an axis, tilted at about 23.5° from the perpendicular to Earth's orbit. When the Earth's north pole is tilted towards the Sun, the northern hemisphere is in summer while the southern hemisphere is in winter. That's the main time when the Sun doesn't set at the north pole. When the Earth's north pole is tilted away from the Sun the southern hemisphere is in summer while the northern hemisphere is in winter.
24 Hours. On summer solstice the earth is tilted toward the sun and it shines continuously at the north pole.
Around that time, earth's north pole is tilted toward the sun. This is also around the time that the earth is farthest from the sun.
The earth is tilted, compared to its plane of orbit around the sun. So, in June the north pole is tilted more toward the sun and so the sun shines more directly down on the ground. This makes sunlight more intense. That plus the longer days makes it warmer. The opposite happens when the earth is on the other side of the sun, when the north pole is pointed more away from the sun. You can imagine that the north pole sees 24 hours a day of sunlight when it is tilted toward the sun. This same effect happens everywhere in the northern hemisphere, though to a lesser and lesser extent as you approach the equator.
Even though the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, it is not tilted all the way (to 90 degrees). The sun still remains low in the sky, and so the pole doesn't experience the full heat of the sun directly overhead. The tilt of the pole is about 23.5 degrees. It is also very cold because the sun doesn't hit the North Pole directly so it is very cold.
The hemisphere tilted towards the Sun during the summer solstice is the Northern Hemisphere. This tilt causes the North Pole to be tilted towards the Sun, leading to longer days and warmer temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere during this time of the year.
At the North Pole during the December solstice, there is 24 hours of darkness. This is because the axial tilt of the Earth causes the North Pole to be tilted away from the sun during this time, preventing sunlight from reaching that region.
No, when the North Pole points in the direction of the sun it is the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere. This is because during this time the Northern Hemisphere receives more direct sunlight, leading to warmer weather and longer days.
