In short, because of the axial tilt of the earth. In May - July, the northern hemisphere is tilted more towards the sun and gets more sunlight at a more direct angle. The reverse is true for the Southern Hemisphere. In November - January, the situation is reversed; the southern hemisphere gets more direct sunlight.

Why are seasons reversed in northern and southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis is tilted.
In the Southern Hemisphere when are the day lengths less than 12 hours but increasing?
The day lengths in the southern hemisphere begin to increase between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox, same as in the Northern Hemisphere, but the time for the seasons is reversed. Winter solstice in the southern hemisphere falls on June 21 or 22 each year, and the vernal equinox is around 21 or 22 September.
Why does the Southern Hemisphere have different seasons?
Because the Earth is tilted on its axis, so when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun (Summer, in the North) the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun (Winter, in the South) and vice versa.
Why autumn and spring seasons occur in opposite hemispheres alternately?
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.
What time of year can you see lupus the constellation?
you cant see lupus in the seasons you can only see lupus in the southern hemisphere
How do earth's tilt and orbit cause the seasons?
when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the southern hemisphere is away for this reason the seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere.
Why are seasons reversed in northern and southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis is tilted.
If you lived in the southern hemisphere how would seasons be diffrent and why?
It does not. Seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth on its axis. When that hemisphere is tilted toward the sun there will be summer. Away-- winter.
Why seasons of Australia are reversed as compared to that in the northern hemisphere?
The seasons are reversed. When it is spring or summer in the northern hemisphere, it is the autumn (fall) or the winter in Australia. This is caused by the northern part of the world being tipped the opposite way (towards or away) from the sun to Australia. The seasons in Australia and other countries in the Southern Hemisphere are reversed from those in the Northern Hemisphere. When it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and so forth. For example, the Australian summer starts in December, while winter begins in July.
How do the seasons of Australia to the seasons of the countries in the Northern Hemisphere?
The seasons are reversed. When it is spring or summer in the northern hemisphere, it is the autumn (fall) or the winter in Australia. This is caused by the northern part of the world being tipped the opposite way (towards or away) from the sun to Australia. The seasons in Australia and other countries in the Southern Hemisphere are reversed from those in the Northern Hemisphere. When it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and so forth. For example, the Australian summer starts in December, while winter begins in July.
How do the seasons differ in the northern and southern hemispheres of earth?
The seasons are reversed, AND the flow of water is reversed. When flushing a toilet in the northern hemisphere, the water goes down clockwise. When flushing a toilet in the southern hemisphere, the water goes down counterclockwise.
What day marks the first day of winter for the southern hemishere?
The seasons are reversed in the Southern hemisphere as compared to the Northern. In the South, it is 21 June.
What effect does the hemisphere have on the seasons?
The hemisphere you are in (northern or southern) has an effect on when you experience the seasons. At points in the earth's orbit it is either the southern or northern hemisphere that is tilted further towards the sun. This makes that hemisphere warmer, experiencing summer while the other colder and experiences winter. Then six months later, things are reversed.
Are the seasons in the northern and southern halves of the earth reversed?
reversed
In the Northern and Southern Hemispheres the seasons are reversed?
True, they are reversed!
Seasons in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere are what?
the seasons are usaully switched so if its summer in the northern its winter in the southern
How are seasons in the northern hemisphere related to the seasons in the Southern Hemisphere?
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.
