Because - the Earth is tilted on its axis - by about 11 degrees. This means that, when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away. This - combined with the position of the sun in its orbit around the Sun - creates our seasons.

Explain why the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere have opposite seasons at the same time?

they have opposite seasons because at the same time, the northern hemisphere might be experiencing more radiation and the other may not. that is with summer and winter. with spring and autumn its kind of like the same thing but its just that they are tilted at different ways and one isn't experiencing that same thing as the other. im thinking this is it.


Why are the seasons in the order they are?

Seasons follow the same order in the Northern and Southern hemispheres but they are exactly reversed.Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and then the seasons cycle through again.Spring begins in September in the Southern hemisphere but in March in the Northern hemisphere. The "official" day that each season begins changes slightly from country to country, this is a local decision and varies by a few weeks eg the season starts on the 1st of the appropriate month or the 22nd of the month.Countries on or near the Equator do not experience a noticeable change of season or length of day compared to night.

What is the concept of seasons?

The year is divided into four seasons, which are summer, autumn (or fall), winter, and spring. Autumn and spring are known for moderate weather, summer is known for hot weather, and winter is known for cold weather. These changes in weather take place because of the tilt of the Earth's axis, relative to the orbit of the Earth around the sun.
