The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?
No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.
Why does it get hot and cold?
the earth gets hot in cold because of the earths tilt in the summer time most of the sun is on the earth in the winter time less of the sun is on the earth
Why is there a half a year of sunlight in antarctica?
It's because of the tilt in the Earth's axis, causing the one pole at a time to point towards the Sun.
Why does it gets dark and cold in December and not in July?
It gets dark then because of the tilt of the earth. Luckily, we were just talking about this in my science class. The earth has a tilt, and when it's winter time, we're at the bottom So imagine if this is the earth: /. And this is the sun: o. If the earth is like this: / o. Then the bottom of the earth isn't getting as much sunlight as the top of the earth. It all depends on the rotation and the tilt of the earth.
Why do you feel cold winds during the months of December to January?
the tilt of the earth's axis is away from the sun that's it's cold!okay!
Why does the earth's orbit determine the seasons?
Now your question is wrong because the earths orbit doesn't contribute to the seasons, its the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth which creates the seasons. The tilt by what i believe was created when the moon was formed, or the godly way when god tilted the earth creating the flood
Which of these do not contribute to changing seasons?
The axial tilt of the Earth and its orbit around the Sun are the main factors that contribute to changing seasons. Factors like the distance of the Earth from the Sun and its rotation on its axis do not significantly affect the changing of seasons.
What causes cold winter in the US?
It gets cold when the sun is far away from our location like it is during the US winters due to the tilt of the earth.
Was Antarctica ever close to the equator in its history?
Yes, millions of years ago, Antarctica was located closer to the equator within a warmer climate. This was due to the shifting of tectonic plates and changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt.
What Cause cold winter weather in the US?
It gets cold when the sun is far away from our location like it is during the US winters due to the tilt of the earth.
Which of these does not contribute to changing seasons angle of incidence of solar radiation tilt of the earth on its axis distance between the earth and sun or revolution of the earth around the sun?
The angle of incidence of solar radiation does not contribute to changing seasons. The changing seasons are primarily caused by the tilt of the Earth on its axis and its revolution around the sun, which affects how sunlight is distributed across the Earth's surface during different times of the year.
What is the location on of the earth?
on the top of planet earth there is the north pole, on top of that is the northern most axis of the Earth, the axis may be cold or hot depending on the axis' current tilt.
