Why does the Southern Hemisphere experience Winter and Summer Solstice in different times than that of the Northern Hemisphere?

The Southern Hemisphere experiences Winter and Summer Solstices at different times than the Northern Hemisphere due to the axial tilt of Earth and its orbit around the Sun. Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees relative to its orbital plane. This axial tilt remains constant as Earth orbits the Sun.

During the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, which occurs around December 21st, the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun, resulting in the shortest day and longest night of the year. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, this day marks the Summer Solstice, with the South Pole tilted towards the Sun, leading to the longest day and shortest night.

Similarly, during the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere around June 21st, the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun, resulting in the longest day and shortest night. At the same time, in the Southern Hemisphere, this marks the Winter Solstice, with the South Pole tilted away from the Sun, causing the shortest day and longest night.

The varying positions of the poles relative to the Sun during Earth’s orbit create the seasonal differences between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
