∙ 12y agothe world is always spinning, and depending in what country you are in and where you are positioned at determines the season. when America is closer to the sun, it is summer. Australia, at the same time, will be going through winter. it's all where your part of the world is positioned at.

The seasons change because of the Earth's orbit. The Earth, actually, is always slightly slanted when it orbits the sun. So when the Earth is going around the sun, the sun will shine straight onto the northern hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere. So when the sun shines in the southern hemisphere it would be either summer or spring. Furthermore, if the sun shines in the northern hemisphere, it would be either winter or autumn.

∙ 13y agoThe length and experience of season is relevant the latitude that you are at. Both hemispheres are equal in seasons, negating weather, land, water, wind, etc. 45 degrees south is similar to 45 degrees north, just six months apart. As you look more toward the equator the seasons will become more and more similar.

∙ 11y agoThe earth is on a 23 dagry tilt because at some point in time an asteroid hit the earth creating the moon and puting the earth on a 23 dagry tilt so therefour half of the year the south is closer to the sun and the north leaning away and after 6 month when the earth is half way round the sun the north will be closer and the south leaning away. Keep in minded that the tilt always faces the same way so when its on opposite sides of the sun it is NOT a mirror image. Iv never bin to school since I was 13 and Im dyslexia this is just commonsense.

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 happens when neither hemisphere is tilted toward the sun?
that is virtually impossible if neither hemisphere were pointed toward the sun we would have no seasons
Why are seasons reversed in northern and southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis is tilted.
Why do constellations change with seasons?
why do they change
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.
Describe how the seasons are related to earths orbit around the sun?
the season change as the amount of energy each hemisphere receives from the sun changes
When do the seasons change in the northern hemisphere?
March, June, September, December
How are seasons in the souuthern hemisphere similar to the northern?
they are oposite of each other so if it is Summer in northern Hemisphere it is winter in southern hamisphere.
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.
When and where the wet and dry seasons occur for each hemisphere?
any time in the center of the earth (the equator)
Are the seasons the same in the north hemisphere as the south hemisphere?
Seasons in the northern hemisphere occur at opposite times to those in the southern hemisphere. For example, when it is winter in the southern hemisphere, it is summer in the northern hemisphere.
Are the seasons in the southern hemisphere occur at opposite times of the year from the seasons in the northern hemisphere?
Yes.
When it is summer in the in the southern hemisphere what seasons is it in the northern hemisphere?
the seasons that are experienced are fall (Autumn) and winter
What are the four seasons in the northern hemisphere?
The seasons in the northern hemisphere are spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Why are Antarctica's seasons different?
Seasons in Antarctica are the same as they are everywhere in the southern hemisphere. In the sense that not much changes between the seasons, except access to sun, Antarctica's seasons are not too different from each other.
What causes seasons to change in the northern and southern hemisphere as the earth revolves the sun?
earth rotation on axis
How would the passage of one year be different for someone living in the Southern Hemisphere than in the Northern Hemisphere?
In the Southern Hemisphere the seasons would be the reverse of what the seasons are in the Northern Hemisphere
