Why is it so hot in summer?

Hello, some people think that it is cold because the sun is far away from us, and hot because the sun is close to us. This view is wrong. In our country, it is a cold winter when the sun is close to the earth, and a hot summer when the sun is far from the earth.

The average distance between the sun and the earth is about1.500 million kilometers, which is too far. The difference between the nearest distance and the farthest distance between the sun and the earth is only 5 million kilometers, so the distance between the sun and us has little to do with the weather. It is the angle of the sun that determines whether the weather is cold or hot. In summer, the sun shines directly in the northern hemisphere; In winter, the sun shines obliquely in the northern hemisphere. It is hot when the sun is direct, and cold when the sun is oblique. Therefore, it is hotter in summer.
