- Slide: 1
- The answer is....The seasons are opposite in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres because the Earth’s axis is tilted at 23.5°, so when one hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun and experiences summer, the other is tilted away and experiences winter, and vice versa.
- QUIZZZZZ TIMEEEE!!!Why are the seasons opposite in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere?
- Slide: 2
- The Sun doesn’t set for part of the year in the Arctic and Antarctic Circles due to the tilt of the Earth's axis (23.5°), which causes continuous daylight during each hemisphere’s summer. During this period, the polar regions remain tilted toward the Sun for 24 hours a day, creating Midnight Sun in summer and Polar Night in winter.
- Slide: 3
- But this is spring in the Southern Hemisphere. Spring in the Southern Hemisphere occurs when the Earth’s tilt shifts, causing the hemisphere to receive increasingly direct sunlight, leading to warmer temperatures, longer days, and blooming plant life around September to November.
- This is fall in the Northern Hemisphere. Fall in the Northern Hemisphere occurs because the Earth's tilt causes the Sun's rays to hit at a lower angle, leading to shorter days, less intense sunlight, and cooling temperatures as the hemisphere transitions away from summer.
