How summers differ between Earth's hemispheres
Original: How do summers differ between Earth's hemispheres?
Live Science explains why summer feels different depending on which half of the planet you live on. Earth's axial tilt and its slightly elliptical orbit mean the Southern Hemisphere experiences summer during the planet's closest approach to the sun, while seasons vary in length and intensity between hemispheres. The piece breaks down the orbital mechanics behind these contrasts in an accessible explainer for general readers.
Why now: Seasonal science explainers draw interest as summer weather prompts curiosity about how the seasons work.
