Answer 4

In December, the northern hemisphere is tiled away from the Sun. There are two specific effects which contribute to cause the seasons. (1) The surface of the northern hemisphere is hidden in the Earth's shadow for more than 12 hours of the day, making the days shorter and the nights longer. (2) The Sun rises far in the south, and never moves high enough above the horizon to stand directly above us, even at noon. The surface of the Earth is thus quite inclined to the incoming sunlight, and so there is less sunlight to absorb per unit area and the climate is cooler. This is exactly the same as the poles receiving less light than the equator in our first case, as was shown in the second figure above (right hand side).

At the same time, the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. The surface is lit up by the Sun for more than 12 hours per day, and so the days are longer. The Sun rises to the north, but not the far north, and is found overhead at noon. The surface of the Earth is inclined perpendicular to the sunlight (as in the left hand side of figure 2), and so receives the maximum amount of sunlight per square area.

Answer 5

It says in December the northern it tilted away but the southern is tilted towards the sun.
