Relative Temperature In Ohio

Decent Essays

The seasons and thus the relative temperature in Ohio are controlled due to the angle and tilt of the Earth's axis. During the summer months the Earth is tilted toward the sun and is hit by solar rays at a steeper angle than in the winter months thus allowing for the light not to spread out as much and the surface of the Earth to heat up faster. This occurs in the Northern Hemisphere however it is not like this worldwide at the same times. During the winter season this condition of tilt toward the sun is present for areas below the equator and in the Northern Hemisphere the Earth is now tilted away from the sun. This results in a shallow angle to the sun and the solar rays are spread out minimizing the concentration of the light and not warming
