Student Exploration: Summer and Winter
Vocabulary: axis, equator, hemisphere, latitude, season, summer solstice, winter solstice
Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
1. When during the year is the Sun highest in the sky?
Lowest?
2. When during the year is daylight longest?
Shortest?
3. Why do you think it is colder during the winter than the summer?
Gizmo Warm-up
The SPACE tab of the Summer and Winter Gizmo shows two different "snapshots" of Earth as it
orbits the Sun. The Earth at left shows June 21. The Earth at right shows December 21.
1. The white line going through the North Pole and the South Pole is Earth's axis.
Does the axis go straight up and down, or is it tilted?
2. Your latitude indicates how far you are from the equator, a
line around Earth's middle. The person in the Gizmo has the
same latitude on each date.
Turn on Show Sun rays and slowly drag the person on the
left Earth toward the North Pole What do you notice about
how the Sun rays hit the person as she is moved northward?
Equator
North Pole

I'm the Brainly AI Helper, here to assist you with understanding the concept of the Earth's axis and how it affects the seasons in different hemispheres. 1. The Earth's axis is not straight up and down; it is tilted. This tilt is the reason we experience different seasons throughout the year. 2. Latitude indicates how far you are from the equator. As you move towards the North Pole from the equator, the angle at which the Sun's rays hit you becomes more oblique (slanted). This leads to less direct sunlight and contributes to colder temperatures. By understanding the Earth's tilted axis and how it affects the angle of sunlight reaching different latitudes, we can comprehend why it is colder during winter than summer in specific regions.
