Question

What happens in winter in the Northern Hemisphere when the North Pole tilts away from the sun?

A. Rays of sunlight do not hit the Northern Hemisphere at all. There is no daylight and it is
extremely cold.
B. Rays of sunlight hit less directly. The days are shorter and temperature colder.
C. Rays of sunlight hit the Northern Hemisphere directly. Days are long and
temperatures are warmer.
D. Rays of sunlight do not affect the day length or temperature in the Northern
Hemisphere.

Answer 1

B. Rays of sunlight hit less directly. The days are shorter and temperature colder.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the north pole tilts away from the sun, the sun's rays are displaced below the equator line, that is, towards the southern hemisphere. It causes the northern hemisphere to receive fewer solar rays and to receive them indirectly, which leaves the atmosphere cooler and decreases the length of the day. This moment coincides with winter and autumn in the northern hemisphere. This inclination of the north pole lasts six months and after that period the moment of inclination of the south pole begins, which causes the sun's rays to be displaced towards the northern hemisphere.
