Caiden Stafford · Answer 1

The answer is The days are shorter and nights are longer.

In June, the sun is at its maximum inclination in the Northern hemisphere due to the earth's tilt with respect to the sun (Summer Solstice). Therefore, countries in the Southern hemisphere, such as Austrailia, will experience longer nights than days. On the other hand, the sun is at a maximum inclination in the southern hemisphere in December where Australia will experience longer days than nights.
