Can someone just walk me through how it might be summer in Australia at the moment.
I feel like I understand the premise but I’m amazed I have only discovered this recently.

The earth is on a bit of a tilt. Right now, it’s tilted so the south part is angled towards the sun, and the north part is angled away from the sun. This means countries in the southern hemisphere, like Australia, are getting more sunlight, for a greater part of the day than countries in the northern hemisphere. Hence, it’s summer in the south and winter in the north.
As the year progresses, earth will move around the sun and in six months time, the north will be angled towards the sun and the south will be angled away.
