Answer 1

The tilt of Earth on its axis causes the sunlight to hit different latitudes on Earth at different angles.

Answer 2

1) The Earth's tilt on its axis causes the sunlight to hit different latitudes on Earth at different angles.

2) Countries from the northern and southern hemispheres will experience polar climates from having the least direct sunlight.
3) The rotation of Earth causes day and night on Earth.
4) The angle at which the sun strikes Earth is more important than the distance, so even though Earth is closest to the sun in January, it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere due to the tilt of Earth on its axis.

Answer 3

1) The angle at which sunlight hits different latitudes on Earth is primarily determined by the Earth's tilt on its axis. The Earth is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun. This means that as the Earth revolves around the Sun, different parts of the Earth receive sunlight at different angles. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it experiences summer and receives more direct sunlight, resulting in warmer temperatures. Conversely, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, it experiences winter and receives sunlight at a lower angle, resulting in cooler temperatures.

2) Countries in the northern and southern hemispheres that receive the least direct sunlight would generally experience a polar climate. Polar climates are characterized by extremely cold temperatures, with little to no sunlight during certain parts of the year. These regions are located near the North or South Pole, where the Earth's tilt causes sunlight to be spread out over a larger area, resulting in lower angles of incidence.

3) The rotation of the Earth is the main factor that causes day and night. As the Earth spins on its axis, different parts of it are either exposed to sunlight or in shadow, leading to the cycle of day and night. The Earth takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full rotation, resulting in alternating periods of daylight and darkness.

4) The statement "Earth is closest to the sun in January when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere" is possible because the angle at which the sun strikes Earth is more important than the distance. Despite being closest to the sun during January, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the sunlight to hit the Northern Hemisphere at a lower angle, resulting in cooler temperatures and winter conditions. The distance between the Earth and the Sun does have some effect on the amount of sunlight and heat received, but the angle of incidence plays a more significant role in determining the seasons.
