Question

How does the tilt of Earth’s axis and its movement around the sun play a part in the changing of the seasons in the Northern Hemisphere?
My answer was :

When the north pole is tilted toward the sun, around 23 degrees at Summer Solstice, the sun is higher in the sky in the north and in fact you can see it for 24 hours if you are above the arctic circle. When the earth does a half revolution around the sun, that same north pole now points about 23 degrees away from the sun, and it is hot down below the equator.

My teacher replied:

What seasons are occurring at each of these times?


Can someone please help me answer this? Thanks!

Answer 1

(OH- I get it.)

Answer:

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Explanation:

She/He/They was basically asking what SEASON occurs. You technically were right, but sometimes the simplest things are much better.
