what causes summer in the northern hemisphere?
○ when the earth is closest to the sun
○ when the earths axis is tilted away from the sun
○ when the earths axis is tilted towards the sun
○ when the earths equator spreads its heat
Summer in the Northern Hemisphere is caused by the Earth's axial tilt. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, it receives more direct sunlight and longer days, leading to warmer temperatures. Proximity to the Sun (perihelion) does not cause summer (perihelion occurs in January for Earth), tilting away causes winter, and equatorial heat spread is not the direct cause.
