Answer 2

Answer:

Winter solstice:

Winter solstice occurs on 22nd December every year. The Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. Thus, this hemisphere experiences summer.  

The Tropic of Capricorn receives direct sun rays due to which the days are longer and the nights are shorter in this area. The areas beyond the Antarctic circle experience continuous light for 6 months as it is inclined towards the sun. The conditions are exact opposite in the Northern Hemisphere.

Summer Solstice:

Every year on 21st June, Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. As a result, Tropic of Cancer receives direct sunlight and areas beyond the Arctic circle till the pole experience continuous daylight for 6 months. This means, it's summertime in the Northern Hemisphere at this period of time.  

Places in Northern Hemisphere experience longer days and shorter nights. The Southern Hemisphere experiences the exact reverse conditions. It is winter there, the days are shorter and the nights are longer
