PLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE HELP!

Answer 1

Because the earth's axis is tilted, one hemisphere is closer to the sun than the other in certain times of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, we have summer in June-August because that's when our hemisphere is closer to the sun. In the Southern Hemisphere, summer is in December-March because that's when they are closer to the sun.

Does this help?

Answer 2

Since the Earth is on a tilt or "Earth's axis", one side of the hemisphere is closer to the sun. As the Earth rotates, one side is closer to the sun, which causes summer. There are 2 sides of hemisphere, a Northern and a Southern. This is split by the equator. The Summer Solstices starts on June 21, and Winter Solstices starts on December 21. In the Northern Hemishere, the sun completely covers over the Tropic of Cancer by June 21. In the Southern Hemisphere the sun completly covers the Tropic of Capricorn by December 21.
