At that time of year, the northern hemisphere is angled toward the the sun so it gets more light and longer days.

Will the northern hemisphere have daylight?

The northern hemisphere will have daylight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, different parts of the hemisphere receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. This results in longer daylight hours during summer and shorter daylight hours during winter in the northern hemisphere.

Why days are smaller in winters?

Days are not smaller, they are shorter. This is because the earth spins with its axis tilted and in the winter the northern hemisphere is pointing away from the Sun - this makes Northern days shorter and Southern days longer.


Is the days shorter and nights get longer?

In the northern hemisphere, USA and UK included, during Spring the days become longer and the nights become shorter. Conversely, in the southern hemisphere, Australia, and South Africa included , during the same period the days become shorter and the nights become longer. Depending on which side of the Equator you are on , the seasons and daylight hours are reversed. During Autumn (Fall)(northern hemisphere), the whole process is reversed in both hemispheres.


Is solstice when the sun shines on one hemisphere?

Not exactly. The sun is always shining on parts of both the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. As the Earth is tilted, there are times when it shines on more of one than the other. At the point it is shining on its maximum amount of one hemisphere, it is a solstice. It is still shining on the other hemisphere too, but just not as much as it is at other times. That happens in June, when it is mostly shining on the northern hemisphere, giving it longer days and shorter nights, and in December, when it is mostly shining on the southern hemisphere and it has the longer days and shorter nights.


In between June 21 and September 21 days become shorter or longer?

The time period that you are referring to is called the summer solstice. This is the time when the earth's path around the sun has forced the Northern Hemisphere to start pointing directly at the sun. At that point, every part of the Northern Hemisphere sees the sun for more than 12 hours and every part of the Southern Hemisphere sees the sun for less than 12 hours.So the answer is: for the Northern Hemisphere, the days become longer, and for the Southern Hemisphere, the days become shorter.Hope this helps ~ CB
