Why is it colder in winter and warmer in summer?

Question

i thought it was because in the summer we are closest to the sun, but we learned that the sun is closest in the winter...

please respond ASAP!!! thanx

Answer 1

it has to do with the tilt of the earth in the summer the sun rays are more direct.take a heater and put your hand in the middle don't get burned the move your hand to left or right it should get cooler

Answer 2

The earth as a WHOLE is slightly closer to the sun in January. This is called perihelion and is caused by orbital eccentricity. However, the tilt of the earth makes a far more significant difference than the orbital eccentricity. Therefore, even though the entire earth is slightly farther away in July (Aphelion), the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and gets more heat.

Because of this, the southern hemisphere summer and southern hemisphere winter are more extreme seasons than those of the northern hemisphere (the tilt and orbital eccentricity effects add up). But the large amount of water in the S. hemisphere compensates for this, why is why, barring Antarctica, you rarely see any kind of extreme temperatures in the southern hemisphere.

Did you know that no place in the southern hemisphere has recorded temperatures over 50 degrees Celsius (122 F)? There are several places in the N. hemisphere that routinely record such high temperatures. People have a misconception that Australia is hot, but it is much milder than the Sahara desert or Death Valley. It's all due to the water effect. If the water were evenly distributed, the southern hemisphere would be hotter in summer and colder in winter.

Answer 3

its because of the tilt of the earth, and so in the northern hemisphere although the sun is closer to the earth the southern hemisphere gets the heat and the direct sunrays while we don't

Answer 4

It is colder in winter because of what is known as the fall/winter equinox, (where the earth shifts on its axis and the sun pulls away from the earth. In spring, there's the spring/summer equinox, where once again the earth shifts on its axis and the sun moves closer to the earth.

Answer 5

if your goblel the sun go wround the axis

the tropical cilmiate are hot all year round but in america the weather in winter is colder and sun rise lower and that why people wear sunglasses when they drive.

the seond reason is the sunset very fast and  that why is darker

In the summer times the sun rises up and rise ealier

and the sunset set later and also bright and warm.
