Answers
Answer:
because in northern hemisphere when its winter in southern hemisphere it will be summer.
Explanation:
This happens because the earth is not flat. It is approximately a sphere, with a tilted axis that wobbles and is not perpendicular to its plane of orbit around the sun.
This means that at any point (except for the spring and autumn equinoxes) one of the poles, either north or south, is closer to the sun than the other. When the north pole is closest, the northern hemisphere (USA and Europe, Russia etc) has their summer and the southern hemisphere, including Australia, is in winter. When the south pole is closest, we have our winter while Australia has their summer.
At just two points in the year, once around 21 March and once around 21 September, the wobbling axis is momentarily perpendicular with the Earth’s plane of orbit. At those times, the north and south poles are equidistant from the Sun and those are the equinoxes; the mid-points between summer and winter and the length of day on both hemispheres is the same; approximately 12 hours.
If the axis of tilt was like that all year round, we would have no seasons.
