Because the Earth is closest to the Sun only once per year and it happens in January.
The distance varies by 2.5 million kilometres above and below the average of 149.6 million kilometres.
It is September or March when neither half of Earth is tilted towards the sun, resulting in equal day and night length, known as the equinoxes.
Half-moon Half-Earth
Summer. It's caused by the Earth being at an angle to the sun (nothing to do with closeness to the sun).
The 'tilt' of the Earth's axis doesn't change. The axis always makes an angle of about 661/2 degrees with the plane of the Earth's orbit, and the north pole is always pointed toward the same spot in the sky, near the star Polaris. But as we ride around the sun in the course of a year, since the axis always points toward the same place, that means that the north pole is tilted toward the sun during half of the trip, and away from the sun during the other half. And there are two moments during the year when the axis is neither toward nor away from the sun ... those are always around March 21 and September 22. If you're on the half of Earth that's tilted toward the sun, then you have Spring and Summer. And if you're on the half of Earth that's tilted away from the sun, then you have Fall and Winter. (It has nothing to do with being closer or farther from the sun. It's all on account of the tilt.)
Half of Earth is illuminated by the sun at all times.
The better question would be is if it's possible for you to form a coherent thought, because this question is not one.
Away.
If one end of the earth's axis is leaning away from the sun, then the other end must be leaning toward it. Whichever half of the earth happens to be leaning away has Winter, while the half that's leaning toward the sun at the same time has Summer at the same time.
You've probably noticed that it gets warmer in summer and colder in the winter. This change happens every year. It happens because the earth tilts back and forth as it goes around the sun. During the summer, the earth tilts toward the sun, which makes half of the earth hotter - this is what we call summer. During the other half of the year, the earth tilts away from the sun, which makes that half of the earth cooler. We call this winter.Did you know that different parts of the world have winter and summer at different times of the year? In the northern half of the world (such as North America and Europe), winter happens during the months of December, January and February. In the southern half of the world (such as South America and Australia), winter happens during the months of June, July and August. Winter happens at different times because the top and bottom halves of the earth tilt away from the sun at different times of the year.
It is September or March when neither half of Earth is tilted towards the sun, resulting in equal day and night length, known as the equinoxes.
The Earth has 4 seasons because of its axial tilt of 23 and a half degrees to the plane of the ecliptic, which causes the northern and southern hemispheres to alternately point partially toward and away from the sun.
Away for half of the year, and toward for the other half of the year.
Away
I asked this at school not that long ago, and I think it was something to do with how the earth tilts towards the sun. So when the top or bottom half of the earth is facing the sun its hotter.. but I'm not quite sure.
it is summer in the northern hemisphere
the climactic conditions change on earth because when the earth spins it tilts back and forth like a top that is about to fall over(but the earth is going to fall over!) and when it tilts back and forth like this is causes one half of the world to move down(causing summer because that part of the earth is closer to the sun) and the other side of the earth to move up(casuing that side of the earth to be farther away from the sun causing winter because there inst as much sunlight)
WHEN TH SUN TILTS TOWARD THE SOUTHERNHEMISPERE IT GIVES YOU WINTERAnswer 2:Actually the sun does not tilt.The earth axis does, though.
