Solution

The correct answers are:

  • The daylight period is longer
  • The Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun
  • The Northern Hemisphere gets only indirect sunlight

Explanation:

During winter, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, which means the Sun's rays hit the Earth at a lower angle. These rays are spread out over a larger area, which means the area is not heated as intensely. Additionally, the longer nights and shorter days mean the Earth has more time to lose heat to space, making it colder.
