There is a lot of land in the north; that makes the summers hotter and the winters colder. There is a lot of ocean in the south; that makes the seasons milder.
The earth is nearest the sun in January and farthest in July; that makes northern winter warmer and summer cooler. It also makes southern summer hotter and winter colder.

∙ 11y agoEarth is tilted on an axis of 23.5 degrees. In June in the northern hemisphere, the axis is tilted toward the sun and it is summer because sunlight is hitting the northern hemisphere directly. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is winter because sunlight is hitting it an angle.

∙ 11y agoThe Earth wobbles on it's axis so that the sun's rays strike one hemisphere more directly half of the year, while the other hemisphere receives the suns rays at more more oblique angle. This is why, while it is summer in the southern hemisphere, it is winter in the northern hemisphere. The effect diminishes near the equator, which alway receives about the same amount of sunlight.

What causes your earth to have different seasons?
The earth moving further and closer to the sun.
Property of earth which causes seasons?
The Earth's rotational axial tilt causes the seasons.
What is the earth doing to have 4 seasons?
The Earth has 4 seasons because of its axial tilt of 23 and a half degrees to the plane of the ecliptic, which causes the northern and southern hemispheres to alternately point partially toward and away from the sun.
How would you describe what causes the seasons?
its earths tilt on its axis orbiting the sun
What causes the different seasons in earth?
Seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth on its axis. When the Southern Hemisphere is facing the sun more directly, it is summer there and winter in the Northern Hemisphere. When the earth is not tilted, it is spring in one place and fall in the other. That was a question on my science test. Weird.
Which hemispheres on earth experience different seasons?
both hemispheres on Earth experience different seasons. but only the part of earth near the equator have only one season and it's hot which is the tropical areas.
What are seasons primarily caused by?
Seasons are caused by the tilt of the axis of rotation of the Earth, 23 and a half degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. This causes different hemispheres of the Earth to be tilted, either toward or away from the sun, at different times of year.
What causes seasons to changed in the northern and southern hemispheres as the earth revolves around the sun?
The tilt of the earth's axis.
What causes seasons to change in the northern and southern hemispheres as the earth revolves around the sun?
The tilt of the earth's axis.
How are seasons different in the Northern and Southern hemispheres?
They are different because of tilt of the earth on its axis
What causes your earth to have different seasons?
The earth moving further and closer to the sun.
What two hemispheres have seasons?
As seasons are the result of the rotation of the Earth around the sun, all of the hemispheres: North and South/ East and West have seasons. The east and west hemispheres are the ones that are split into two seasons at a single given moment.
Which hemispheres of the earth experience opposite seasons?
North and South.
How are different seasons caused?
Seasons are caused by earth's tilt on it's axis. As earth revolves around the sun, it's tilt causes different amounts of sunlight to reach the surface in certain areas. That's what causes the seasons.
Why is it important that earth is tilted?
That is what causes the seasons.That is what causes the seasons.That is what causes the seasons.That is what causes the seasons.
What causes the seasons spring and fall?
The seasons spring and fall are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis and the revolution of the Earth. When it is spring in the U.S, sunlight is evenly distributed to both hemispheres, a little bit more in the U.S. When it is fall, sunlight is evenly distributed to both hemispheres, a little bit less in the U.S.
What hemispheres have opposite seasons?
Northern and Southern Hemisphere's have opposite seasons due the earth tilting.
