Northern Hemisphere winters are colder than Northern Hemisphere summers because Northern Hemisphere winters are colder than Northern Hemisphere summers because a) Earth is closer to the sun during the summer than it is during the winter. b) the snow that falls in the northern latitudes cools Earth during the winter. c) the light from the sun shines more directly on the Northern Hemisphere during the summer. d) the period of sunlight is longer during the summer than during the winter. e) both c) and d) above are correct

Answer 1

Answer:

e) both c) and d) above are correct

Explanation:

The equator is an imaginary line running from east to west that divides the earth into the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere is the half part of the earth that is north of the equator.

During the summer, the light from the sun shines more directly on the Northern Hemisphere.

Also during summer, the period of sunlight is longer than that of the winter.
