Where is winter ever?
In the southern hemisphere, it is winter all the time. The Earth's tilt means that the sun is not shining in the southern hemisphere during winter because of its tilt. This makes it colder and causes less sunlight to reach the ground. It is summer in the northern hemisphere. Because of the Earth's tilt, the north hemisphere is tilted towards the sun during the summer months. This makes it warmer and causes more sunlight to reach the ground.
