Questions and Answers

What happens to the Northern Hemisphere when it is tilted towards the sun?

  • The Northern Hemisphere receives the same amount of direct sunlight as the Southern Hemisphere.
  • The Northern Hemisphere experiences a change in daylight hours, but the temperature remains constant.
  • The Northern Hemisphere receives more direct sunlight, leading to warmer temperatures. (correct)
  • The Northern Hemisphere receives less direct sunlight, leading to colder temperatures.

    • Which season in the Northern Hemisphere occurs when it is tilted farthest away from the sun?

  • Fall
  • Summer
  • Spring
  • Winter (correct)

    • How does the Earth's tilt influence the seasons?

  • The Earth's tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of direct sunlight throughout the year. (correct)
  • The Earth's tilt causes a change in the Earth's gravitational pull, leading to different seasons.
  • The Earth's tilt causes the Earth to rotate faster during summer and slower during winter.
  • The Earth's tilt causes the Earth to move closer to the sun during summer and farther away during winter.

    • Why are the seasons reversed between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?

    Earth's Tilt

    The angle at which the Earth is tilted relative to its orbit around the Sun, affecting seasonal changes.

    Summer (Northern Hemisphere)

    The season when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, resulting in warmer temperatures and longer days.

    Winter (Northern Hemisphere)

    The season when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, resulting in colder temperatures and shorter days.

    Fall (Northern Hemisphere)

    The transitional season when the Northern Hemisphere tilts away from the Sun, leading to mild temperatures and changing leaves.
