Answer:
1.)The north pole is in constant daylight! When the northern half of Earth is tilted toward the Sun, the southern hemisphere is tilted away. People in the southern hemisphere experience the shorter day lengths and colder temperatures of winter.
2.)The seasons experienced by the northern and southern hemisphere always differ by six months – when it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere, and so on.
3.)Equatorial Climates
Twice a year, during the spring and autumn equinoxes, the sun passes directly over the Equator. Even during the rest of the year, equatorial regions often experience a hot climate with little seasonal variation. As a result, many equatorial cultures recognize two seasons—wet and dry.
