When there is summer in India, what season is in Australia and why?
Answers
Answer:
Rotation of earth around its own axis, which is tilted around 23.5 degrees to the perpendicular, cause’s seasons on earth. The period when this tilt is towards the sun is called summer solstice and the day on which this tilt is maximum is June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere. It is also called the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere. The period when this tilt is away the sun is winter solstice and the day on which this tilt is minimum is called winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. This day is December 21 which is also called the shortest day of the year. India is in the Northern Hemisphere. Australia is in the Southern hemisphere. So on December 21st, the Southern Hemisphere is closest to the Sun, while the Northern Hemisphere is closest to the Sun on June 22nd.
