What would happen if the south end of earth's axis was tilted toward the sun?
If the south end of Earth's axis were tilted toward the sun, the Southern Hemisphere would experience longer and more intense summers, while the Northern Hemisphere would have shorter and milder summers. This would result in significant shifts in weather patterns and temperatures across the globe.
Why do four seasons occur?
The cause of the seasons is the tilt of the Earth's axis of rotation (line from one pole to the other) with respect to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. During the course of the year, this changes the length of the day, and the angle of the Sun's rays, for all locations except those in the tropics near the equator.The seasons are not experienced the same way in every location, due to winds, currents, and local weather patterns. The seasons are reversed north or south of the equator : when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.Summer: the Sun's rays are more directly overhead, temperatures are warm, days are longerFall : the Sun's rays are less directly overhead, temperatures become cooler, days become shorterWinter: the Sun is farthest from directly overhead, temperatures are lowest, days are shortestSpring: the Sun becomes higher in the sky, temperatures become warmer, days become longer
Is Antarctica part of the Arctic tundra?
Antarctica is a continent located south of the Equator. The Arctic is closer to the North Pole, north of the Equator. It's too cold in Antactica for tundra, which is formed from organic growth in the soil that freezes and thaws and freezes again. Antarctica is too cold for organic growth: only two types of short grasses grow on the west side of the northernmost peninsula of the Antarctic continent. As well, it's never warm enough in Antarctica for anything with no access to direct sunlight to thaw.
What happens near the end of both march and September?

When its winter in the northern hemisphere why is it summer in the southern hemisphere?

If the earths tilts toward the sun in the northern hemisphere and it is summer what is happening in the northern hemisphere?
