Question

true or false: winter is cold because the earth is farther away from the sun. (1 point)
true
false

Explanation:

The seasons are caused by the Earth's axial tilt, not its distance from the sun. In the Northern Hemisphere, winter occurs when the hemisphere is tilted away from the sun (reducing direct sunlight), and the Earth is actually closer to the sun during Northern Hemisphere winter (perihelion). So the statement is false.

Answer:

False
