Question

Earth’s axis does not go straight up and down. It’s actually tilted. Because of this tilt, as Earth spins, the sun hits the surface of the top and the bottom at different angles. This is what causes seasons.

Midway between the two poles is an imaginary line that circles the very middle of Earth. This is called the Equator. It divides Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, it experiences summer while the Southern Hemisphere experiences winter. For example, Australia and North America are two continents that experience opposite seasons because of their location. While North America experiences winter from December to February, Australia experiences summer. And when Australia experiences autumn from March to May, North America experiences spring.

From June to August, Australia experiences winter. What season does North America experience from June to August?

A
Winter

B
Spring

C
Summer

D
Autumn
