Question

The ground receives more light and heat from the sun when _____.

the pole is tilted away from the sun in the winter
the sun is directly over the equator in the spring
the sun is directly over the equator in the fall
the pole is tilted toward the sun in the summer

Answer 1

D. The pole is tilted toward the sun in the summer. When the pole is tilted toward the sun in the summer, the ground receives more light and heat from the sun. This is because the angle of the sun's rays is more direct, which means that they are concentrated over a smaller area, resulting in more heat and light.
