Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Statement 1: We experience summer and winter when the northern and southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore near June 21st, the southern hemisphere is having its winter solstice because it “leans” away from the Sun. Advancing 90 days, the Earth is at the autumnal equinox on or about September 21st. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, it gets positioned such that the Sun is directly over the equator.
