Why does summer receive more daylight hours than winter? the hemisphere of the earth is tilted more toward the sun. the hemisphere of the earth is tilted away from the sun. the rotation of the sun and the moon is slower than usual. the rotation of the sun and the moon is faster than usual.

Option (A)

Explanation:

The amount of sunlight (daylight) earth receives is directly related to the tilt of the earth's imaginary rotation axis. The tilt of the earth is 23.5°. During the time of summer in the northern hemisphere, the tilt of the earth faces more towards the sun, and the sunlight is directly incident on it. So, the amount of daylight (or the duration of the day) is higher in summer.

On the other hand, during winter, the tilt of the sun faces opposite to the sun, so it receives a lesser amount of daylight, and so is cold during this time.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

the answer is c. altitude. hope this ! #brainiac
