At any given point of time, why are the seasons in the northern and southern hemisphere
different?
Answers
Answer:
Regardless of the time of year, the northern and southern hemispheres always experience opposite seasons. This is because during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun than the other, and this exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit.
Answer:
Over the course of a year, the Earth goes on a journey around the Sun. The reason we
have seasons is because,
during its journey around the
Sun, the Earth is tilted. The Earth’s
tilt affects the amount of daylight
each hemisphere gets, which in
turn makes the temperature hotter or colder.
Solstices and equinoxes
Every season has a middle point. In summer and winter, these midpoints are called solstices. The summer solstice is the longest day, and shortest night, of the year. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year, and the longest night.
