When you have the longest day in the north (the beginning of summer), it is the shortest day in the south (and therefore, the beginning of winter). In general, in the Southern Hemisphere, there are always two seasons difference - for example, if spring starts in the north, then autumn starts in the south.

How might earth climates be different if earth were not titled on its axis?

There would be no seasons. The weather in any given area would be essentially the same throughout the year.


What two hemispheres have seasons?

As seasons are the result of the rotation of the Earth around the sun, all of the hemispheres: North and South/ East and West have seasons. The east and west hemispheres are the ones that are split into two seasons at a single given moment.


Earth is closest to the sun in JanuaryWhat effect does this have on seasons?

Not much. The seasons are driven primarily by how much direct sunlight the Earth receives at a given latitude.


How might Earths climates be different if Earth were not titled on its axis?

There would be no seasons. The weather in any given area would be essentially the same throughout the year.


How would the earths seasons be different if the earth was not tilted on its axis why?

If the Earth's rotational axis were perpendicular to the ecliptic plane, and not inclined 23.5° from the perpendicular as it is now, then there would be no seasons on Earth. The lengths of day and night would never change through the year, and the sun's elevation above the horizon at Noon would never change through the year. Any given location on Earth would have essentially the same climate all year around.


What explains the fact that different places on earth have different seasons at the same time of theyear?

Different places experience different climates on Earth because of the Earth's tilting at a certain angle. As Time goes by, and the earth keeps rotating, the angle of its appearance towards the sun keeps changing, which explains why different places experience different climates


Why is the distance between the earth and moon given as an average?

the earth moves in a slight elipse around the sun so the distance is an average of the different radii of the elipse

What factors affect seasons?

Seasons are primarily determined by the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun. The angle of sunlight, the length of daylight, and the amount of solar energy received by a particular hemisphere at any given time affect the temperature and weather patterns we experience during different seasons. Other factors, such as ocean currents and atmospheric circulation, can also influence regional climates.


How do the earth and its moon move?

The Earth is tilted on its axis. This tilt and revolution around the sun give us seasons (winter, summer, autumn, spring). The tilt means at certain times of the year, certain parts of the Earth are closer to the sun then others. At any given time of the year the half of the Earth that is closer to the sun receives more energy thus giving it a different season then the half that is tilted away from the sun. The tilt gives the northern hemisphere of the earth different seasons then the southern hemisphere. So if it is summer in New York it is winter in South Africa.


What would happen during different seasons if the earths axis were not tilted at 23.5º but rather at 0º?

The day lengths will alway be the same, 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night for nearly everywhere on earth except for the extreme poles. For a given position on earth, the sun will always more or less follow the same path in the sky. There would be no seasons, for a given location, the earth would receive the same amount of sun each day (ignoring cloud cover).


Why does a constellation appear in different parts of the sky during a given year?

A constellation appears in different parts of the sky throughout the year due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. As Earth moves along its orbital path, the night side of the planet faces different sections of the sky, causing constellations to rise and set at different times. This change in position is also influenced by the tilt of the Earth’s axis, which affects the visibility of constellations across different seasons. Consequently, some constellations are more prominent during specific times of the year.
