"Why is it warmer in the summer, and colder in the winter?" Because of the angle the earth's axis is at in relation to the sun means we are closer to the sun during our summer and at the same time the southern hemisphere is further from the sun and experiences "winter" | |||

"There are several differences. One is larger than the other. One has rounded wings and the other has a wider pointed wing span..... Colours are different too ..... I'll go for one begins with H and the other begins with F " Yep. Correct. Falcons are generally smaller with slimmer pointed wings. Faster birds and more agile than Hawks. | |||

Because of the angle the earth's axis is at in relation to the sun means we are closer to the sun during our summer and at the same time the southern hemisphere is further from the sun and experiences "winter" " We are further away from the Sun in Summer. What makes us warm is the TILT of the Earth. In Summer we TILT toward the Earth and in Winter though closer we are TILTED away from the Sun ........ The Earth's axis leans to one side.... by approx 32 /33 degrees | |||

"They are diferrent species. Incorrectly. They are the same species. They aren't. Falcons are members of falcinodae and hawks are accipitrade (sic)" Hmmmm well... perhaps different sub-species, but not different species. Falcons typically fall into the same genus, falco, whilst hawks fall into a number of genus. For example Falco Tinnunculus (Kestrel), Falco Peregrinus (peregrine falcon), Accipiter gentilis (Goshawk), Parabeuteo Unicinctus (Harris Hawk) | |||

Because of the angle the earth's axis is at in relation to the sun means we are closer to the sun during our summer and at the same time the southern hemisphere is further from the sun and experiences "winter" " 180 degrees wrong, I'm afraid. The northern hemisphere summer occurs when we are furthest AWAY from the Sun, and winter when we are CLOSEST. The tilt of the orbit means the rays are concentrated MOST when we are further away and LEAST when we are closest, and it's the concentration that matters, in terms of heat on the surface of the Earth. | |||
