The axis of the Earth is tilted which gives us seasons. Only one of the hemispheres, north or south, can be tilted toward the Sun, while the other is tilted away.
If the northern hemisphere is tipped toward the sun, then it is warmer and the days are longer, which gives us summer. But the days are shorter and it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
If the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it is colder and that gives us winter. But in the southern hemisphere it is then summer. In Australia or South America, you can have Christmas dinner on the beach if you want.
The angles at which the suns rays strike the Earth.
Here's another way of looking at it. During the hottest part of summer in the north, it is winter in the south. This is when earth is farther from the sun. Along with that, take into account that 6 months later, when the earth is actually closer to the sun, it is winter in the north, and summer in the south. Since it is both summer and winter (depending on where you are) whether we are closest to the sun or farthest way, it makes no sense to conclude that earth's distance from the sun is causing the seasons.
Also, the actual difference in the distances of earth to sun at its closest and farthest approach is much bigger than any difference in distances to the sun of temperate locations in the north and in the south. If this is hard to follow, the meaning is that even the extremely tiny differences in distance from the sun (between the north and the south at any given moment) that happen because of earth's tilt can't possibly account for the seasons. The distance of the whole planet to the sun changes by much, much more than that.
So, distance cannot be the determining factor.

This is a statement and not a question as well as homework. Time to read the science book.
North and South.
yes , they are (:Another AnswerIn some areas of the world close the equator they have the rainy season and the dry season, rather than the 4 separate seasons that occur in the northern hemisphere.
The seasons at the poles are spring, summer, fall and winter. Because the poles are in different hemispheres, the seasons are opposite. The dates that the seasons change is the same at both poles. For example, when it is winter at the South Pole, it's summer at the North Pole.
Hemisphere comes from Greek and means half globe or half orb. The northern hemisphere is the part of the earth that lies North of the equator (i.e. everything between the equator and the north pole). The southern hemisphere, as you would have guessed, is the opposite. The eastern hemisphere is the part of the earth that lies east of the 0-meridian (the north-south linh that runs through Greenwich, London). The western hemisphere, again, is the opposite. They meet on the opposite side of the earth at 180°, approximately on the date/time border.
The opposite of "Push hard" or a hard push is an easy or light push.
Northern and Southern Hemisphere's have opposite seasons due the earth tilting.
North and South.
Similar, in opposite hemispheres.
Opposite hemispheres.
No; toilets are far too small to be affected by the Coriolis Force.

The opposite of changing directions would be maintaining a course, or continuing in the same direction.
The negation of a statement
A statement which has an opposite opinion to a theory
To prove by contradiction, you assume that an opposite assumption is true, then disprove the opposite statement.
Yes. Because the two countries are in opposite hemispheres, their seasons are opposite.
No, they are in opposite hemispheres.
