Question

1. why are summer days hotter than winter days? the hemisphere experiencing summer is tilted toward the sun. the sun produces more heat energy in the summer. the sun is closer to the earth in the summer part of its orbit. the earth spins on its axis slower in the summer than in the winter.

Explanation:

The Earth's axis is tilted. When a hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, it receives more direct sunlight, leading to warmer temperatures (summer). The Sun's heat output is relatively constant. The Earth - Sun distance variation (perihelion and aphelion) has a minor effect on seasons compared to the tilt. The Earth's rotation speed (spinning on its axis) is constant (about 24 hours per rotation) and not related to seasonal temperature differences.

Answer:

The hemisphere experiencing summer is tilted toward the Sun.
