Here's how the seasonal change affects the weather: Around the time of the June solstice, the North Pole is tilted toward the sun and the Northern Hemisphere is starting to enjoy summer.

季节是这样影响天气变化的：约在6月份夏至的时候，北极斜向太阳一面，北半球开始享受夏天。

So in the north, the solstice day has the shortest length of time between sunrise and sunset and fewest hours of daylight.

所以在北半球，冬至日的白天是最短的，只有几个小时而已。

If the Earth were flipped sideways - like Uranus - the sun would be pretty much overhead at the North Pole on the June solstice.

如果地球的位置向旁边倾斜一点——像天王星一样，那么在夏至这天太阳会以更美的姿态出现在北极的天空中。
