Answer 1

1. The tilt of the Earth is approximately 23.5 degrees.

2. When the Northern Hemisphere is pointed toward the Sun, it is considered summer in North America.

3. The seasons in Australia are opposite from the seasons in the United States due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the Sun. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun (around June to September), it experiences summer, while the Southern Hemisphere, including Australia, is tilted away from the Sun and experiences winter. Conversely, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun (around December to March), it is winter in the U.S., and summer in Australia. This opposite relationship occurs because the two hemispheres receive differing amounts of sunlight throughout the year due to the axial tilt.
