Seasons in the Southern Hemisphere (detailed) — free printable diagram

About this illustration

A circular orbital diagram showing Earth's four seasonal positions around the Sun, labelled for the Southern Hemisphere / New Zealand context. Four globe illustrations are arranged at top (December/Summer), right (March/Autumn), bottom (June/Winter), and left (September/Spring), each with S and N pole labels and an Equator dashed line. Colour-coded text boxes explain the tilt relationship for each season. Seasonal vignette illustrations (cherry blossom for Spring, pohutukawa/beach for Summer, harakeke/flax for Autumn, snowy mountains for Winter) accompany each position. An axial tilt inset diagram appears bottom-left, and an orbital direction legend appears bottom-right. Arrows show counterclockwise orbital motion.
