I WONDER - What Is A Hemisphere?

The video explains that Earth is divided into two hemispheres, Northern and Southern. In the Northern Hemisphere, winter is cold and summer is hot. However, in the Southern Hemisphere, such as in Australia, the seasons are reversed, with winter in June and summer in December. This reversal is due to the hemispheres being on opposite sides of the Earth as it orbits the sun.

What is the main concept introduced about the Earth's hemispheres?

• They are like two halves of a circle.

• They are identical in climate.

• They have the same seasons at the same time.

• They are both located in the Southern Hemisphere.

How do the seasons differ between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?

• The Southern Hemisphere has summer when the Northern Hemisphere has winter.

• The Northern Hemisphere has no winter.

• They experience the same seasons simultaneously.

• Both hemispheres have winter in June.

In which month does winter occur in the Southern Hemisphere?

• December

• September

• June

• March

Why do the seasons reverse between the hemispheres?

• Because of the Earth's tilt.

• Due to the Earth's rotation speed.

• Because they are on opposite sides of the world as it orbits the sun.

• Because of the distance from the equator.

What causes the Southern Hemisphere to have hot weather in December?

• The Southern Hemisphere's location on the opposite side of the Earth from the Northern Hemisphere.

• The Southern Hemisphere's distance from the equator.

• The Earth's proximity to the sun.

• The Earth's rotation on its axis.
