Why are the days typically hotter in June than in December here in the US?
A.Beacuse the sun gives off more light and heat in the summer
B.Because the Earth is closer to the sun in the summer and farther from the sun in the winter
C.because the Earth's tilt causes the sun to be closer to the US in the summer
D.because the US faces the sun in the summer and faces away from the sun in the winter
E.Because the tilt of the Earth causes the sun's rays to be more concentrated in the summer due to the angle at which they hit the Earth
F.Because the moon blocks more of the suns rays in the winter
G.Beacuse in the US there are more hours of daylight in the summer than in the winter
It's Either C D or E but I think it's E
I agree with E.
I would say that the most likely of the tilt would have to be 40 degrees because that is the most one that has the light intensity trained on a small portion of the graph paper.
The correct answer is E. Because the tilt of the Earth causes the sun's rays to be more concentrated in the summer due to the angle at which they hit the Earth.
You're on the right track! To understand why the days are typically hotter in June than in December in the US, we need to consider the Earth's tilt and its effect on the angle at which the sunlight reaches different parts of the Earth.
The correct answer is E. Because of the tilt of the Earth's axis, the sun's rays are more concentrated during the summer months in the US. In June, when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun. This means that the sunlight travels a shorter distance through the Earth's atmosphere before reaching the US. This shorter path allows the sun's rays to be more concentrated, leading to higher temperatures.
On the other hand, in December, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun. This results in the sunlight traveling a longer path through the Earth's atmosphere before reaching the US. The longer path causes the sun's rays to be more spread out and less concentrated, leading to cooler temperatures.
So, it is the tilt of the Earth that causes the sun's rays to be more concentrated in the US during the summer months, resulting in hotter days compared to the winter months.
