Question

los días de verano en el estado de nueva york son más calurosos que los días de invierno, porque en verano ______.

a el hemisferio sur de la tierra está inclinado hacia el sol.

b el hemisferio norte de la tierra está inclinado hacia el sol.

c la tierra está más cerca del sol.

d la gravedad de la tierra es mayor que la de la luna en este momento.

Explanation:

To determine why summer days in New York are hotter than winter days, we analyze each option:

• Option a: New York is in the Northern Hemisphere. If the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere, so this is incorrect.
• Option b: In summer in the Northern Hemisphere (where New York is located), the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun. This leads to more direct sunlight and longer days, causing higher temperatures, so this is correct.
• Option c: The Earth's distance from the Sun (perihelion and aphelion) does not cause seasons; seasons are due to the tilt, so this is incorrect.
• Option d: The comparison of Earth's and the Moon's gravity is irrelevant to seasonal temperature differences, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

b. El hemisferio norte de la Tierra está inclinado hacia el Sol.
