    The axis of the Earth is tilted at an angle, this explain?

    A)  Northern hemisphere is away from the Sun and the Southern hemisphere is towards it

    B)  Southern hemisphere is away from the Sun and the Northern hemisphere is towards it

    C)  Season in the Northern hemisphere can never be the same as the season in the Southern hemisphere

    D)  All of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    An imaginary line runs around the centre of the Earth, it is called equator. It divides the Earth into two halves, upper half is called Northern hemisphere and lower half is called Southern hemisphere. When North Pole is tilted towards the Sun, Northern hemisphere has summer season. During this period South Pole is tilted away from the Sun, so Southern hemisphere has winter season. This condition reverses and the season in these hemispheres change.
