How does the tilt of the earths axis affect the heat and light as it revolves around the sun?

Question

Reasons for Seasons

Answer 1

When the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, the sun's rays will be spread over a larger area in the northern hemisphere and it will therefore be much colder -- winter. When it is tilted toward the sun, it will recieve more direct and concentrated rays, and be hotter - summer.

Answer 2

Take a torch light and a note book. Now hold the book in vertical position and switch on the torch and let the beam of light make a circle on the book. Now tilt the book and on the light.It will make ellipse.So on the ellipse,same light is covered on large area. So intensity will be less.This is same thing what happens due to tilt of axis of earth

Answer 3

In summer, the northern hemisphere is titlted towards the sun, resulting in longer days, which is why it's hotter. Yes it's also a little bit closer to the sun because of the tilt, but that difference is negligible. The seansons are caused by the length of the days.

Answer 4

Summer (in Northern hemisphere) is due to the tilt of axis pointing toward sun. Thus the suns rays are more direct. Winter opposite.

Answer 5

Hi. The four seasons are a human concept. We really have one climate which is based on latitude and position of the background sky. This causes a swing from warmer to colder and back once a year due to the Earth getting more or less sunlight and at a higher or lower angle.

Answer 6

the lean of the earth would not substitute. interior the summertime the north is slanted in direction of the sunlight. because it changes to iciness the lean did not substitute however the south is slanted in direction of the sunlight. The earth is a extensive gyro and would not substitute tilt .

Answer 7

Wrong: during northern hemisphere summer, Earth is at *aphelion*. Northern hemisphere summers are thus slightly longer (by a couple of days) and slightly cooler than they would otherwise be.

Answer 8

if you tilt the earth the suns rays and radiant energy will hit the earth different so the porion that the radiant energy is hiting will be warmer and our seasons will be different.
