in this hemisphere experiences 24 hours

winter.

Respuesta :

The statement ' The hemisphere tilted towards the Sun experiences summer and the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun experiences winter.' is true.

The variation in seasons is due to the slight tilt of the earth on its axis towards the sun. This tilt is approximately equal to 29 and 1/2 degrees.

Due to this tilt of the earth, the north pole or the south pole of the northern or the southern hemisphere respectively never directly faces the sun.

But when the respective hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it is as close to the sun as it is physically possible, and therefore that hemisphere experiences the summer season.

Whereas the other hemisphere which is tilted away from the sun is as far from it as possible and receives very little sunlight and hence experiences the winter season.

In the context of the above discussion, the statement ' The hemisphere tilted towards the Sun experiences summer and the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun experiences winter.' is true.
