The reason for fall / spring in the Northern Hemisphere and spring/fall in the Southern Hemisphere because Earth’s tilt is sideways to the sun for a few months.The reason for 24 hours of daylight at the South Pole: because the South Pole is tilted directly toward the sun on about December 21. ................
