Question

What causes tempature in the summer to be higher than temperature in the winter

Answer 1

Answer:

The Earth's Tilt

Explanation:

Due to the Earth's tilt, more of the Sun's rays directly hit a particular region of the Earth during the summer months than during the winter months. As a result, the average temperature is increased during the summer.

Answer 2

Answer:

It is all about the tilt of the Earth’s axis. Many people believe that the temperature changes because the Earth is closer to the sun in summer and farther from the sun in winter. In fact, the Earth is farthest from the sun in July and is closest to the sun in January!.

During the summer, the sun’s rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. The light does not spread out as much, thus increasing the amount of energy hitting any given spot. Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures.

During the winter, the sun’s rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot. Also, the long nights and short days prevent the Earth from warming up. Thus, we have winter.
