Answer 1

`\textsf{When it is summer in Australia, the season in the United States is \boxed{\textsf{\large winter.}}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

`\textsf{We are asked what the season will be for the United States if Australia is in}`

`\textsf{Summer.}`

`\large\underline{\textsf{What are Seasons?}}`

`\textsf{Seasons are considered categories for what the weather conditions are like, how}`

`\textsf{much daylight there is, and how the \underline{Earth's tilt} is categorized. When the Earth}`

`\textsf{tilts, more or less Sun beams on that particular area.}`

`\underline{\textsf{What are the 4 Seasons?}}`

`\textsf{Summer - Weather Conditions are hot, and dry. The Earth tilts to the Sun hence}`

`\textsf{daylight hours are the longest, which means the Sun is very intense.}`

---------------------------

`\textsf{Autumn - Temperatures drop, and there's less intensity from the Sun. The Earth}`

`\textsf{tilts away from the Sun, making daylight hours shorter.}`

---------------------------

`\textsf{Winter - Temperatures are at their lowest and the Sun is at its least intensity.}`

`\textsf{The Earth tilts the furthest away from the Sun, making daylight hours very short.}`

---------------------------

`\textsf{Spring - Temperatures similar to Autumn, and the Sun is less intense than in}`

`\textsf{Summer. The Earth tilts closer to the Sun, making daylight hours longer.}`

`\textsf{Remember that the seasons depend on where and how much the Earth has}`

`\textsf{tilted.}`

`\textsf{Australia and the United States are countries located in different \underline{Hemispheres}.}`

`\large\underline{\textsf{What are Hemispheres?}}`

`\textsf{Hemispheres represent the landmasses that are above and/or below the Equator.}`

`\textsf{If landmasses are above the equator, then they're in the Northern Hemisphere.}`

`\textsf{If landmasses are below the equator, then they're in the Southern Hemisphere.}`

`\underline{\textsf{For our Problem;}}`

`\textsf{Australia is below the Equator, which means they're in the Southern Hemisphere.}`

`\textsf{United States is above the Equator, which means they're in the Northern}`

`\textsf{Hemisphere.}`

`\large\underline{\textsf{Why do Hemispheres matter?}}`

`\textsf{Hemispheres determine what the seasons are for areas around the globe. Due}`

`\textsf{to the Earth's tilt, these hemispheres have \boxed{\textsf{Opposite Seasons.}}}`

`\textsf{Because these Hemispheres have opposite seasons, we can conclude that the}`

`\textsf{United States has to be in \boxed{\textsf{\large Winter}} if Australia is in Summer.}`
