Here’s What Happens to the Earth During Summer Solstice

One of the resultant of Earth have a tilted axis is , for better or bad , the season . On June 21st , we ’ll be at one extreme point in Earth ’s seasonality : the summer solstice . Here ’s what that mean .

The axis of the earth is tipped 23.45 ° . This means that most of the sentence part of the earth is tipped toward the sunlight and is get more sunlight and passion , and another part is tipped away and is get less sun and warmheartedness . When the northern cerebral hemisphere is pitch toward the sun , the days are longer and the sunlight is high-pitched in the sky . The weather is warm and we have summertime . Six months later , the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun and the days are shorter and the sun is lowly in the sky . The temperature grows cold and we have wintertime .
