Notice how being tilted on an axis makes the northern hemisphere of the Earth get more sun than the southern during the months of July, August and September—we call that summer. The days are longer and the nights are shorter, creating a warmer temperature for that time. In the southern hemisphere, it is winter. The longest day of the year in the north is June 21—we call it the summer solstice.
The north pole gets 24 hours of daylight and the south pole gets 0 hours of daylightduring our summer solstice.
Notice how being tilted on an axis makes the northern hemisphere of the Earth get less sun than the southern during the months of January, February, and March—we call that winter in the northern hemisphere. The nights are longer and the days are shorter, creating a colder temperature for that time. In the southern hemisphere, it is summer. The shortest day of the year in the north is December 21—we call it the winter solstice.
The south pole gets 24 hours of daylight and the north pole gets 0 hours of daylightduring our winter solstice.
There are two days in the year when the day and night are exactly equal in both the northern and southern hemisphere. They occur September 21 and March 21. We call those fall equinox and spring equinox.
Every one in the world experiences 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night.
