Question

What indicates that an area in the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing summer?

The Sun is at its lowest point in the sky.
The north end of Earth is tilted toward the sun.
The Northern Hemisphere receives fewer direct rays from the Sun.
The northern end of Earth’s axis is tilted away from the Sun.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: The north end of Earth is tilted toward the sun.

Explanation: When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, it receives more direct solar rays and longer daylight hours, causing warmer temperatures and summer. The other choices describe conditions for winter (Sun lowest in sky, fewer direct rays, axis tilted away).
