Solution
When the rays of the sun fall directly on the Tropic of Capricorn, Australia and New Zealand experience the season of summer.
Explanation:
When the Sun’s rays fall directly on the Tropic of Capricorn (around December 22nd), the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun. This results in a larger portion of the Southern Hemisphere receiving more direct sunlight and experiencing longer days and shorter nights, which causes the summer season. Both Australia and New Zealand are in the Southern Hemisphere.
