What is the reason for seasons?
The reason we have season is because of Earth's tilt. Many believe that it is the location of the sun to the Earth. Actually, as the Northern Hemisphere tilts towards the sun it is summer and as it tilts away it's winter. And vis versa for the Southern Hemisphere.
Using the tilt of the earth why is winter cold?
The Earth tilts at 23.5 degrees and when it is on one side of the Sun the tilt is toward the Sun. If it tilts toward the Sun then it has direct sunlight making it hot. On the other side of the Sun it tilts away causing indirect sunlight making it colder.
What seasons will the Northern Hemisphere be having when it is not tilted away or tilted toward the sun?
This will happen in spring and autumn on days known as the equinoxes - roughly March 21 and September 22IN ADDITION:In the spring equinox on march 21 the earth tilts away from the sun. On September 23 the autumnal equinox, it tilts towards the sun. We are actually closer to the sun in the wintertime in the northern hemisphere.
Why do the poles experience about six month day and six month night?
The earth tilts as it wobbles its way through the universe, tilting the poles toward and away from the sun.
When the south pole is tilted away from the sun what season is it?
Its the season of winter.
What season is it in Winnipeg when the South Pole tilts away from the sun?
It's summer in Winnipeg when the South Pole tilts away from the Sun.
What happen when the area in which you live tilts away from the sun?
nights be longer than day
Northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun during the?
The Northern Hemisphere tilts away from the sun in December and tilts close to the sun in June.!
Why does the sun set later in winter?
Because, during the winter season, the earth tilts away from the sun causing that portion of the earth that is tilted away from the sun to have less time during the day when the sun is able to shine on that area.
What part of earth tilts toward the sun?
The Earth tilts toward the sun at an angle of 23.44 degrees, because the Earth rotates, the entire Earth tilts toward the sun during summer and away from the sun during winter.

When it is summer are you facing away from the sun?
The Earth tilts toward the sun for spring and summer. So the earth is not facing away from the Sun. If we were not facing the sun, we'd be cold because it would be fall going into winter.
Does the earths revolution cause the seasons?
The revolution of the Earth does not cause changes in the seasons. The TILT of the Earth does. When an area tilts away from the sun, light strikes the earth at a shallow angle, delivering less heat and light. As it tilts towards the sun, light is striking at a more direct angle, delivering more heat and light.
What happens when the area which you live tilts away from the sun?
If you live near the sun, than more than likely you're living in a very warm, hot environment. Anytime you move away from the sun, you lose heat and the temperature will drop. Just depends on how far away the sun is from you! :]
How are seasons in the northern hemisphere related to the seasons in the Southern Hemisphere?
It is winter in the northern hemisphere when it tilts away from the sun, and summer in the southern hemisphere when it tilts towards the sun. It is this tilting that creates the seasons.
Using the tilt of the earth why is winter cold?
The Earth tilts at 23.5 degrees and when it is on one side of the Sun the tilt is toward the Sun. If it tilts toward the Sun then it has direct sunlight making it hot. On the other side of the Sun it tilts away causing indirect sunlight making it colder.
Is hours of sunshine a description of climate and if it is why?
No, the angle of the earth on its axis determines the actual climate. Since the earth tilts on the axis and the widest area of the earth is the equator, winter occurs in the northern hemisphere when earth is closest to the sun, but is actually tilted away from the sun on its axis. When the earth tilts back toward the sun, summer comes to the northern hemisphere.
