it has to do with how close the sun is to earth
December 21st, at the very same moment as the winter solstice in the north.
No, when the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere and winter in the Northern Hemisphere. The tilt of the Earth's axis causes the seasons to be opposite in the two hemispheres.
When the North Pole tilts away from the sun, the most direct rays strike the Southern Hemisphere, closer to the Tropic of Capricorn. This results in winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere experience opposite seasons. For example, when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its orbit around the sun.
The North Pole always points towards the North Star, and the South Pole points towards the opposite direction. During the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun, and vice versa during the summer season. The opposite is true for the Southern Hemisphere.
Summer in the Northern Hemisphere is winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
In that case, it is basically summer in the northern hemisphere, and winter in the southern hemisphere.In that case, it is basically summer in the northern hemisphere, and winter in the southern hemisphere.In that case, it is basically summer in the northern hemisphere, and winter in the southern hemisphere.In that case, it is basically summer in the northern hemisphere, and winter in the southern hemisphere.
When it is Fall (or Autumn) in the northern hemisphere, it is Spring in the southern hemisphere.
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).
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.
No. Christmas is 25th of December. Just in Southern Hemisphere is summer, while in North is winter at that time
It is summer in the Northern Hemisphere but winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
That's the time of the June solstice, which is the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere and the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere.
They are "opposite" of the northern hemisphere. When it is summer in the north, it is winter in the southern hemisphere. Therefore fall in the northern would be spring in the southern, winter in the N would be summer in the S, spring in the N would be fall in the south.Seasons in the Southern Hemisphere:Summer: December - March (northern winter)Fall: March - June (northern spring)Winter: June - September (northern summer)Spring: September - December (northern fall)
Whatever the season in the Southern Hemisphere, it is the opposite in the Northern Hemisphere. Summer in the south, winter in the north (Hong Kong).
Winter. The Earth has an axis, tilted at about 23.5° from the perpendicular to Earth's orbit. When the Earth's north pole is tilted towards the Sun, the northern hemisphere is in summer while the southern hemisphere is in winter. That's the main time when the Sun doesn't set at the north pole. When the Earth's north pole is tilted away from the Sun the southern hemisphere is in summer while the northern hemisphere is in winter.
When the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it is summer below the equator and winter above. Likewise, when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it is summer in the north and winter in the south. Hope that helps. Martyn.
