The seasons in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are different. The Earth's tilted axis and its orbit around the sun cause the seasons. The Earth's axis is tilted, so the sun is higher in the sky when it points towards the sun, and lower when it points away. This means that different parts of the Earth receive the sun's direct rays at different times of the year.



Northern Hemisphere
Winter: December, January, and February
Spring: March, April, and May
Summer: June, July, and August
Autumn: September, October, and November

Southern Hemisphere
The seasons are adjusted by six months, so for example, January is month 1 in the Northern Hemisphere, but month 7 in the Southern Hemisphere
