Northern and Southern hemisphere
Why do the Northern and Southern Hemispheres have opposite seasons?
Because the Earth’s axis is tilted — when one hemisphere tilts toward the Sun, the other tilts away.
Define “axis” in your own words.
An imaginary line through Earth that it spins around once every 24 hours.
Which season usually has the longest days?
Summer
What causes the seasons on Earth?
The tilt of Earth’s axis as it orbits the Sun.
What is Miss T's nationality?
Vietnamese
During which month does the Southern Hemisphere receive the most direct sunlight?
Around December.
What two points does Earth’s axis connect?
The North Pole and the South Pole.
Which season has the shortest days and the least sunlight?
Winter
How long does it take Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun?
One year (365¼ days).
What school did Miss T go to in high school?
St Augustine's college
What imaginary line separates the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?
The equator
How many degrees is the Earth’s axis tilted?
About 23.5 degrees.
How does the environment change between autumn and winter?
Temperatures drop, plants lose leaves, and animals prepare for cold or migrate.
Why does the Sun appear higher in the sky during summer?
The hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, so sunlight strikes more directly.

Predict what might happen to global seasons if Earth’s tilt changed from 23.5° to 0°.
There would be no real seasons — every place would get nearly the same sunlight year-round.
What effect does Earth’s tilt have on the amount of sunlight different areas receive?
It causes different parts of Earth to get more or less direct sunlight during the year.
Compare the temperatures and daylight hours between spring and autumn.
Both are moderate, but spring has increasing warmth and daylight, while autumn has decreasing warmth and daylight.
Why is it colder in winter?
The hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, so sunlight hits less directly.
What year did Miss T graduate high school?
2018
Why do the two hemispheres experience opposite seasons?
Because of the Earth’s tilt — each hemisphere tilts toward or away from the Sun at different times of the year.
How does the axis relate to the seasons?
The tilt of the axis causes the seasons by changing how sunlight hits each hemisphere.
Compare summer in the Northern Hemisphere to summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
They occur at opposite times of the year — when it’s summer in one, it’s winter in the other.
True or False: The seasons are caused by how far Earth is from the Sun.
False — they’re caused by the tilt of Earth’s axis.
