The seasons in Australia are opposite to those in the United States due to the tilt of the Earth’s axis and its orbit around the Sun. When the Northern Hemisphere (where the US is located) is tilted toward the Sun, it experiences summer, while the Southern Hemisphere (where Australia is) is tilted away and experiences winter. This results in summer in Australia occurring from December to February and winter from June to August, opposite to the US seasonal cycle.
