The Earth is tilted on its axis, and depending on the time of the year, either the northern or Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, while the other half must, of course, be tilted away.
In June, the Northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun. This makes the day longer and the Sun is higher in the sky, giving what sunlight hits the ground more intensity. This is summer.
At the same time, the Southern hemisphere is experiencing winter, with shorter days and the Sun lower in the sky, giving less intense sunlight.
When December comes, the situation is reversed, with winter in the Northern hemisphere and summer in the Southern.
The seasons are different because of the tilt of the Earth. In June the Northern hemisphere points towards the sun. This makes the day longer and the sun is higher in the sky giving what sunlight hits the ground more intensity. In December the southern hemisphere now points at the sun giving those downunder summer. It is spring down here now in October and we are really looking forward to summer.
because they are different distances away from the sun, they tend to have different climates.1 is closer to the sun than the other.
No, it does not. When it is winter in one hemisphere, it is summer in the other. When it is fall in one, it is spring in the other.Yes, thats why we associate snow with Christmas (except for locations near the equator).
Northern hemisphere - winter Southern hemisphere - summer
In January, it is summer in the southern hemisphere.
The northern hemisphere will be in winter and the southern hemisphere will be in summer
if you dont know tell someone who knows ............ ************************************************ When northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere, and winter in the southern hemisphere. The seasons reverse when the northern hemisphere tilts away from the sun. The angle that the sun's rays strike the earth's surface, decides the seasons.
In the Southern Hemisphere the seasons would be the reverse of what the seasons are in the Northern Hemisphere
No, it does not. When it is winter in one hemisphere, it is summer in the other. When it is fall in one, it is spring in the other.Yes, thats why we associate snow with Christmas (except for locations near the equator).
the seasons are usaully switched so if its summer in the northern its winter in the southern
None. All year round, the seasons in the Northern and Southern hemisphere are different.
They experience the beginning of different seasons. The northern hemisphere is located above the equator while the southern hemisphere is located below it.
They are different because of tilt of the earth on its axis

It is winter in the northern hemisphere when it tilts away from the sun, and summer in the southern hemisphere when it tilts towards the sun. It is this tilting that creates the seasons.
Seasons in the northern hemisphere occur at opposite times to those in the southern hemisphere. For example, when it is winter in the southern hemisphere, it is summer in the northern hemisphere.
Northern hemisphere - winter Southern hemisphere - summer
the tilt of the earth
Yes.
