Why is winter especially cold?

Answer 1

Because, ironically, the sun in closer to the Earth. Its weird, and kinda hard to explain


In the winter the the earth axis is pointed away from the sun so that a large portion of the arctic does not receive any direct light or heat from the sun at all. As a result the entire northern hemisphere is cooled. Likewise in the summer the earth's axis is angled toward the sun so that the arctic regions receive up to 24 hours of light and heat from the sun making the whole hemisphere warmer.






Earth to the Sun is more-or-less unchanging.


This is kinda hard to explain without a diagram.
The Earth turns around it's axis once every 24 hours, like a Basketball spinning on a finger. While spinning it also moves around the Sun every 365 days (a year).


Here's the tricky part:
The Earth's axis is tilted by 23 degrees. That means that in June the North Pole is closer to the Sun than the South Pole. As the Earth moves around the Sun the North Pole continues to point in the same direction, which gets increasingly less aligned with the Sun. Conversely the South Pole begins to point more towards the Sun. In December the South Pole is closer to the Sun than the North Pole. Because the South is closer it is also warmer therefore December is summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Through the following months the roles are reversed until June again when the Northern Hemisphere has Summer and the Southern has winter.
I hope that makes sense. The links below have some helpful pictures but see if you can get somebody you know to explain it better.

Answer 2

Winter is cold because that area of the Earth is the furthest from the Sun and thereby devoid of its energy and warmth.

The earth is on a tilted axis. As the earth revolves around the sun the tilt of the axis varies in its position in relation to the sun. The hemisphere that is positioned in the tilt away from the sun will experience winter. As the northern hemisphere is tilted away the southern hemisphere will be tilted toward the sun. In this situation the northern hemisphere will experience winter and the southern hemisphere will experience summer.

Answer 3

The general advice to follow for cold survival is to wear the clothes in layers, and keep the clothes clean. Maintain yourself hydrated and avoid Alcoholic Beverages. Change sweating or wet socks on any opportunity available.

Answer 4

Winter like all of the seasons are made to group a certain period in time judjed by the suns distance from the earth. Winter is the most coldest because it is the season that the sun is farthest/most indirectly from the earth, compared to all other seasons.

Answer 5

Because the part of Earth you are in is tilted away from the Sun
