The earth has an imaginary axis that runs from one magnetic pole to the other. This axis is not in the same plane as the movement of the planet around the sun, nor is it at right angles to it. Instead, it has an inclination of approximately 23 degrees.

If it were at right angles, the sun would always strike the surface at the same angle, thereby eliminating the chance for seasons.

Likewise, if it were parallel (to the ecliptic, which happens to be earth's path around the sun), there would be no seasons either.

With some angle, though, one half of the world is closer than the other. Since the angle is less than 45 degrees from vertical, the northern half of the planet will have the same seasonal variation. The southern half will have the opposite seasonal variation.

Since both North America and Europe are in the northern hemisphere (half of the earth), then they will have the same seasonal patterns; summer in North America is summer in Europe.

It is the same season that it is in North America. North America and Europe are both above the equator and about the same distance lattitude. North America and Eurpope always are in the same season together. I just know

Summer is a season that is astronomically defined as beginning around June 21, and ending around September 23 in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, summer begins around December 21 and ends around March 21. Summer is defined by convention in meteorology as the whole months of June, July, and August, in the Northern Hemisphere, and the whole months of December, January, and February, in the Southern Hemisphere. The unofficial start of summer is a matter of convention: in Ireland it is as early as May 1, in many countries it is considered to be June 1, while in others it is as late as July 1. In general, seasonal changes occur earlier in coastal regions, so countries close to the oceans go for an earlier start to summer than inland ones. Summer is commonly viewed as the season with the longest (and warmest) days of the year, in which the daylight predominates, through varying degrees. In the northern latitudes, twilight is known to last at least an hour, sometimes leading to the famous white nights found in St. Petersburg and Scandinavia. It is also called the season of the midnight sun near the North Pole; in northern Norway for instance.
