Question

web-quest: weather 1. why do we have seasons? complete the diagram below with the following terms: winter in northern hemisphere, winter in southern hemisphere, summer in northern hemisphere, summer in southern hemisphere

Explanation:

Seasons occur due to Earth's axial tilt (≈23.5°) as it orbits the Sun. When a hemisphere tilts toward the Sun, it receives more direct sunlight and longer days (summer); when tilted away, less direct sunlight and shorter days (winter). The diagram likely shows Earth’s orbital positions with labels matching hemisphere seasons: winter in Northern Hemisphere ↔ summer in Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.

Answer:

The diagram should be completed by matching each Earth position to the corresponding seasonal labels:

• Position where Northern Hemisphere tilts away from Sun: winter (Northern Hemisphere) / summer (Southern Hemisphere)
• Position where Northern Hemisphere tilts toward Sun: summer (Northern Hemisphere) / winter (Southern Hemisphere)

(Note: Exact placement depends on diagram’s orbital sequence, but the key is opposite seasons between hemispheres.)
