Because in the southern Hemisphere the seasons are flip flopped our summer is their winter. Our spring is their fall and vice versa. It has to do with the way the sun hits the earth. When the Northern Hemisphere has the sun in the summer the southern Hemisphere is farther from the sun making it colder.
What effect does the hemisphere have on the seasons?
The hemisphere you are in (northern or southern) has an effect on when you experience the seasons. At points in the earth's orbit it is either the southern or northern hemisphere that is tilted further towards the sun. This makes that hemisphere warmer, experiencing summer while the other colder and experiences winter. Then six months later, things are reversed.

Yes, the sun is slightly closer to the earth in the winter. It is colder because the slant of the earth's axis is away from the sun.
Why is the northern hemisphere colder in Feb than December if the tilt of the axis is more towards the sun?
the angle of the earth's axis
What would be the result if the earth wasn't tilted?
Believe it or not, there would be no seasons! Since the earth is tilted, one side, the northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere, is closer to the sun. So if the northern hemisphere is closer, then it means that it is warmer there then in the southern, hence summer. In the southern, since it is colder, it would be winter.
