- Summer is when a hemisphere is tilted towards the sun
- The northern hemisphere is a kind of hemisphere of earth
- So, northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun in summer

- Northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun in summer
- When a hemisphere is tilted towards the sun , that hemisphere receives more direct sunlight
- So, northern hemisphere will receive more direct sunlight in summer

- The northern hemisphere is a kind of hemisphere of earth
- Winter is when a hemisphere is tilted away from the sun
- Therefore, northern hemisphere tilts away the sun in winter

- Northern hemisphere tilts away the sun in winter
- When a hemisphere is tilted away from the sun , that hemisphere receives less direct sunlight
- Therefore, northern hemisphere will receive less direct sunlight in winter

- Northern hemisphere will receive more direct sunlight in summer
- Northern hemisphere will receive less direct sunlight in winter
- Hence, northern hemisphere receives more direct sunlight in summer than in winter

- Northern hemisphere receives more direct sunlight in summer than in winter
- Receiving direct sunlight causes objects to become warm
- Hence, northern hemisphere will be warmer in summer than in winter

Hence, northern hemisphere will be warmer in summer than in winter
Which of the following statements best explains why the tilt of Earth on its axis causes summer to be warmer than winter in the Northern Hemisphere?
- When a hemisphere is tilted away from the sun , that hemisphere receives less direct sunlight 
- Summer is when a hemisphere is tilted towards the sun 
- The northern hemisphere is a kind of hemisphere of earth 
- When a hemisphere is tilted towards the sun , that hemisphere receives more direct sunlight 
- Winter is when a hemisphere is tilted away from the sun 
- Receiving direct sunlight causes objects to become warm
