Why is it winter in australia when it is summer in the US?

Answer 1

Summer. North America is located in the northern hemisphere while Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere, so the seasons are exactly opposite.

A simple explanation would be using the Sun's position. When it is winter in North America, the Sun is shining at a lower angle, experiencing less sunlight (daytime). As such, the Sun would naturally be shining at a higher angle in Australia, experiencing summer, with longer daytime (more sunlight).

Answer 2

It is summer in Australia when it is winter in the UK. But in winter there it can (in some parts) frosty. I just remember it as we are opposites. When it is dark in the UK it is sunny there in Australia. I just know because my auntie and co. lives there!

Hope This helps! :-)

Answer 3

The seasons are opposite in the northern and southern hemispheres due to the tilt of Earth's axis. When the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it is summer there, while the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, making it winter in countries like Australia.
