Question

why are summer afternoons hotter than winter afternoons​

Answer 1

Answer:

During northern summer, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun and receives more direct sunlight. The north polar region is in continuous sunlight. During northern winter, on the other side of Earth's orbit, the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun and receives less direct sunlight.
