Seasons are not dramatically different, except that the amount of sunlight differs dramatically from summer to winter. Temperatures on the continent are consistently too cold to support life or any kind of food chain. Since no substantive vegetation grows there, there is no visible difference in the seasons.

Why are Antarctica's seasons different?

Seasons in Antarctica are the same as they are everywhere in the southern hemisphere. In the sense that not much changes between the seasons, except access to sun, Antarctica's seasons are not too different from each other.


How many seasons does Antarctic have?

Antarctica enjoys four seasons, as do all locations on earth. In the southern hemisphere, summer begins on December 21 and the other seasons follow in order.


Why does the earth have seasons while other planets do not?

Earth has seasons because its axis is tilted relative to its orbit around the sun. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive various amounts of sunlight throughout the year, resulting in the changing of seasons. Other planets may not have seasons if they have a less pronounced tilt or different orbital characteristics.


What two planets have seasons?

Earth and Mars are the two planets in our solar system that have seasons. These seasons are caused by the tilt of the planets' axes, which affects the amount of sunlight reaching different parts of the planet at different times of the year.


Does Antarctica have seasons?

Antarctica has four seasons, as does every spot on earth.Seasonal changes occur on December 21, March 21, June 21 and September 21.Because Antarctica is in the southern hemisphere, its seasons are reversed from the seasons named in the northern hemisphere. For example, June 21 is called Mid-Winter's Day in Antarctica, and technically December 21 is the longest day of the year.yes but they are much more extreme than most of the rest of the planet.Summers are bright all day and night and winters are dark all day and all night.


Why is Antarctica different from other contients?

Which hemispheres on earth experience different seasons?

The Northern and Southern Hemispheres experience different seasons due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. When one hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it experiences summer, while the other hemisphere, tilted away from the sun, experiences winter. This causes opposite seasons in the two hemispheres at the same time.


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.
