1. When the Northern Hemisphere is experincing warmer temperatures and having summer, the Southern Hemisphere will have colder temperatures and have winter. When the Southern Hemisphere has winter they will exerience less daylight than the Nothern Hemisphere. Winter and summer happen because one hemisphere is tilted towards the sun recieving direct light (summer) and the hemisphere thats tilted away recieves indirect light (winter), which is less concentrated than direct light .

2. While Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is fighting through a harsh Russian winter, Nekemte, Ethiopia is scorching hot. This is because Nekemete is receiving direct light and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is receiving indirect light. |
5. The tilt of the Earth affects the seasons, because it allows the Earth to receive direct and indirect light. This makes it so opposite hemispheres can have opposite seasons. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun it gets direct light, and the northern hemisphere has summer. While the Northern Hemisphere has summer the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, and gets indirect light. Indirect light results in winter. If both Hemispheres receive equal light than one has spring and the other autumn. |
4. The motion that causes the seasons to change is the earth's revolution around the sun. |
