When you look at a Globe of the Earth, you can see that the earth is tilted at an angle. When the Earth travels around the Sun, it remains tilted in the same direction. This means that sometimes the top half of the Earth is pointed towards the Sun, and sometimes it is pointed away from the sun. |
In Winter, the north of the Earth is pointed away from the Sun and the south of the Earth is pointed towards the sun - so the northern half of the Earth is colder than the southern half! When it is Winter in Tolsta it is Summer in Australia! |
In Autumn, neither the top nor the bottom parts of the Earth point towards the Sun. So the same amount of heat from the sun is given to both the North and South of the Earth! When it is Autumn in Tolsta it is Spring in Australia! |
In Summer, the north of the Earth is pointed towards the Sun and the south of the Earth is pointed away from the sun - so the northern half of the Earth is hotter than the southern half! When it is Summer in Tolsta it is Winter in Australia! |
In Spring, neither the north or south of the Earth point towards the Sun. So the same amount of heat from the sun is given to both the north and south of the Earth! When it is Spring in Tolsta it is Autumn in Australia! |
