Six friends were talking. They each had different ideas about why it is warmer in the summer than in the winter. This is what they said:
Which friend do you most agree with?
*
Werner: “It’s because the winter clouds block heat from the Sun.”
Ava: “It’s because the Sun gives off more heat in the summer than in winter.”
Raul: “It’s because Earth’s tilt changes the angle of sunlight hitting Earth.”
Fernando: “It’s because the Earth orbits closer to the Sun in the summer than in the winter.”
Shakira: “It’s because one side of Earth faces the Sun and the other side faces away.”
Susan: “It’s because the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun in summer than in the winter.”
