Why is winter cold and summer hot, what makes it that way?

The axis of the Earth and Sun are not paralel. In some point, as the Earth moves around the Sun, the north pole is far away from the sun, and so, it gets less heat from it. This is winter. The oposite occur to the south pole (summer). The intermediate situation is called autumn and spring.

Their climate causes tornadoes. When a hot and cold front meet, it creates a storm that can lead to a tornado. Tornadoes are caused by warm weather.

When it's colder, your body must use more energy to maintain body temperature.  Exercise forces the entire body to warm up, so the answer is yes.  However, if your summer is hotter than body temperature, the body has to cool down; that process requires much much more energy.

Yes hot!  My friend and I were talking about this today. Cold sucks, it makes me hurt in the head and joints. I don't even want to get up in the mornings when it is cold!  Hot rules! And yes! Winter sucks big time!

I love the cold. In the cold it's simpler to just put on the heat when your cold. but its harder to chill the heat

The seasons are not based on the orbit of the sun.  It is based on the tilt of the earth, which remains constant during it's orbit around the sun.  During half the orbit the northern hemisphere gets more sunlight hence it's in summer.  During the other half of the orbit the southern hemisphere recieves more sunlight therefore it's in summer.  So technically, yes there are two winters and summers, just in the opposite hemispheres.

The warm front is moving into colder air. The moisture at the leading edge of the front freezes when it hits the cold air causing snow. As the front moves through, the warm air is increasingly higher in altitude which causes the falling moisture to warm up in the form of sleet then freezing rain then rain.\n\nHope this helps!

Cold. It's easier for me to get warmer in cold weather than it is to get cool in hot weather. I can't stand hot days.

The real reason why there are more insects in the summer than the winter is because the summer provides an ideal environment for eggs to hatch.  Hot muggy conditions provide moisture and is more conducive for procreation.  The mortality rate of insects also is less because of these ideal living conditions "assuming all other factors being equal" therefore we find more insect during the Summer period versus the winter

Very generally, west coast temperatures are dominated by the prevailing winds from the west, which bring in ocean-temperature air. The ocean has a larger heat capacity than the land, so it tends to stay cooler than the land in summer and warmer than the land in winter. Also, in the summer the Pacific tends to be cooler than the Atlantic, so the east coast has less relief from heat even on days when the wind is blowing from sea to shore.

Warm air can hold a lot more water in it than cold air can-just like warm water can dissolve more salt.  Very cold air just cant hold very much water.  In addition, there is a much higher rate of evaporation during warm weather than during cold weather.  However, in tropical climates it is often the case that it is more humid in "winter" because that is the rainy season.

some cold, some hotter

we lose more weight in summer than in winter because the weather is warmer and the body sways much. therefore our metabolism increases

warm air and cold air combine to make storms... in the winter there is less warm air

like what do you mean,like why can you swim in cold weather? because the water is a higher temperature then outside...im learning this right now in science,but i dont listen alot...lol..sorry

I assume you're in the south? Cause winter should be over pretty much everywhere else except maybe the more remote regions of Canada, Alaska, and far northern Europe.\n\nPersonally, I don't like winter or summer. Winter is too cold and wet and grey, summer is too hot and humid and bright. Between spring and fall, I prefer fall because I'm allergic to pollen and I like windy weather and storms.

FIrst the temperature-It is extremely cold in the winter, and cool in the summer.  Then generally the wind-wind can play a major role, especially in mountainous tundra-also in mountainous tundra is the problem of UV radiation.
