This is not right. It is true that Earth's tilt causes the North Pole to be about 5,000 kilometres closer to the Sun in Summer than it is in Winter. HOWEVER the Earth is about 150,000,000 kilometres from the Sun anyway, so the extra 5,000 km is not enough to cause a major change in temperature. The correct answer is the part of the Earth where Britain is located is tilted towards the Sun. This means that the Sun's rays are more focused on Britain. This causes the temperature to rise. |
