The Tilt of Earth Terms Earth’s tilt 23.5° summer solstice autumnal equinox (June 21st) (Sept. 22nd) winter solstice vernal equinox (Dec. 21st) (March 21st)

Why does Earth have a cycle of seasons? What two factors cause the cycle of seasons? How is Earth’s axis tilted when the Northern Hemisphere has summer? What does the word equinox mean? How is it related to the position of Earth’s axis?

Reasons for the Seasons Earth’s axis is tilted from its orbit around the sun by 23.5°. Earth has seasons because its axis is tilted as it moves around the sun. As Earth revolves around the sun, its axis is tilted away from the sun part of the year and toward the sun for part of the year. The cycle of seasons is caused by Earth’s revolution around the sun and the tilt of Earth’s axis.

Summer in Northern Hemisphere

Summer solstice (June 21)is the first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. At this time, Earth’s North Pole is tilted a full 23.5° toward the sun. This Hemisphere of Earth has its longest day.

Fall in Northern Hemisphere

Autumnal equinox (Sept. 22) signals the first day of autumn Autumnal equinox (Sept. 22) signals the first day of autumn. At this point, Earth is neither pointed toward or away from the sun. All parts of Earth have days and nights that are almost equal in length.

Winter in Northern Hemisphere

Winter solstice (Dec. 21) is the first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and is a point in Earth’s orbit. Earth’s North Pole is tilted a full 23.5° away from the sun. Sunlight strikes areas north of the equator at a greater angle than at any other time of the year. Days are the shortest and nights are the longest.

Spring in Northern Hemishpere

Vernal equinox (March 20) marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere At this time, Earth is not tilted toward or away from the sun. Days and nights are of equal length

Quick Check On the first day of which season, or seasons, in the Northern Hemisphere is Earth neither tilted toward or away from the sun? A. winter B. spring and autumn C. only spring D. summer

Quick Check What is the season in the Southern Hemisphere of Earth when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere? A. spring B. autumn C. winter D. summer

Quick Check On which of the following dates is the Northern Hemisphere of Earth tilted away from the sun at the greatest angle? A. March 20 B. June 21 C. September 22 D. December 21

Quick Check At what angle is Earth tilted on its axis? A. 0° B. 23.5°

Quick Check About how many hours of daylight would you expect people in Chicago to experience on February 1? A. 10 B. 12 C. 14 D. 16
