Question

why are you experiencing your current season? Describe the current position of the Earth and how it relates to your temperatures today.

Answer 1

When the North Pole tilts most toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere experiences summer. This occurs when the Earth is farthest away from the sun, and begins around June 21-22. Astronomers refer to the arrival of this event as the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. This is the time when Earth reaches its closest orbital distance to the sun. As the Earth continues along its path around the sun, its angle constantly shifts the North Pole away from the sun and the South Pole toward the sun. The sun’s energy is more concentrated on the Northern Hemisphere where its rays hit the Earth more directly and are thus more intense. At the same time, however, the Southern Hemisphere tilts away from the sun, causing the sun’s rays to hit the region more at an angle and with less intensity. This brings about winter in the Southern Hemisphere, called the Winter Solstice.
