Question
in the northern hemisphere earths rotational axis points directly toward the sun during the
summer solstice
winter solstice
fall equinox
spring equinox
During the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, Earth's rotational axis is tilted towards the Sun. This tilt causes the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. In contrast, during the winter solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun. The fall and spring equinoxes are when day and night are approximately equal in length, and the Earth's axis is not tilted towards or away from the Sun in the extreme way it is during the solstices.
