Try to recall what happens as we move away from the equator.

The equator is an imaginary line forming a circle around the earth’s surface (equidistant from the poles and perpendicular to the earth’s axis of rotation).

It divides the Earth into – Northern Hemisphere and Southern
Hemisphere.

The seasons and climatic change result from the movement of the earth’s axis and therefore the northern and the southern hemisphere experience alternate seasonal conditions.

The hemisphere receiving more sunlight is said to experience the summer season while the other hemisphere, experiencing less sunlight is said to experience the winter season.
