Why does summer occur in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere?

Because Earths axis isn't in alignment with the sun's axis. Rather it is tilted, so during part of the earths orbit around the sun, the northern hemisphere receives sunlight that is more nearly perpendicular to the earths surface. Then when Earth is on the exact opposite side of the sun the opposite applies. Earths rotation around the sun is completely independent of its daily rotation, so its North to South axis remains in a completely fixed position during its entire rotational cycle. (There is a significant wobble, but it has a period of 26,000 years).

∙ 14y agoit because of the earths tilt, when the northern hemisphere faces the sun they get summer as there is more light but at this time the southern is facing away so they get winter
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIt summer in the northern hemisphere when it winter in the sourtheren hemisphere because the northern hemisphere is facing the sun and the sourtheren hemisphere is facing away from the sun.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt is because the Earth is tilted so your southern and northern face the Sun different.
