The tilt of the earth's axis.
They experience opposite seasons because one part of the planet is exposed to the rays of the sun than the other, and this exposure alternates as the earth revolves in it's orbit
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.
The Earth tilting on its axis as it orbits the Sun, causes the changing of the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres. This also alters the lengths of the darkness and daylight.
Because the Earth tilts at 23.5°, meaning that sometimes the northern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, giving it summer, while the southern hemisphere is leaning away from it, giving it winter. At other times the southern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, giving it summer, while the northern hemisphere is leaning away from it, giving it winter.
Northern and Southern Hemisphere's have opposite seasons due the earth tilting.
If it is winter in Australia, it is summer in the US. The Northern and Southern Hemispheres have opposite seasons.
In the northern hemisphere, summer occurs from June to August, while in the southern hemisphere it occurs from December to February. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, causing each hemisphere to receive varying amounts of sunlight at different times of the year, resulting in opposite seasons. Additionally, the timing of solstices and equinoxes is reversed between the two hemispheres.
The primary reason for the difference between the northern and southern hemispheres is the Earth's axial tilt. This tilt causes variations in the angle at which sunlight reaches each hemisphere, leading to seasonal changes in temperature and daylight hours. Additionally, the distribution of landmasses and oceans between the two hemispheres can also affect climate patterns.
True, they are reversed!
Northern hemisphere - winter Southern hemisphere - summer
It is in spring!
-- Eastern and western hemispheres have the same seasons at the same time.-- Northern and southern hemispheres have the same seasons six months apart.
becusae southern is hoter
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 best bit of evidence is that northern and southern hemisphere esperience the opposite seasons. When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere and vice versa. If the seasons were dependent on Earth's distance from the sun, then the hemispheres would experience the same seasons at the same time.
The northern hemisphere will be in winter and the southern hemisphere will be in summer
