Question

Give a geographical reason for the following:

In New Zealand Christmas is celebrated in summer.

Answer 1

In New Zealand, Christmas is celebrated in summer because it is located in the Southern Hemisphere. While the Northern Hemisphere experiences winter in December, the Southern Hemisphere has its summer season during this time due to the Earth's axial tilt. Therefore, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, including countries like New Zealand.
