Question
Describe how seasons are made and reversed between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Solution
Due to the tilted axis of the earth, the Northern Hemisphere gets maximum sunlight from March to September and Southern Hemisphere from September to March. So, the seasons are also reversed e.g. the summer season in Northern Hemisphere corresponds by winter in Southern Hemisphere and the spring is exchanged with the Autumn season.
