Why does the length of day and night vary in each season?
The earth's axis is not directly perpendicular to the sun. The distance between the northern hemisphere is closer to the sun during summer and further during winter, and this causes less day in the south and more day in the north. The earth's axis is tilted by approximately 23' and it changes, these changes along with other factors (milankovitch cycle) causes the ice ages.
What is the scientific difference between warm weather and cold weather?
During cold weather, molecules in the air move more slowly than they do during hot weather. The earth is actually closer to the sun in winter time; the tilt of the axis (northern hemisphere away from sun) is what deprives the earth of the sun's heat.
How many day did it rain?
This is entirely dependent on WHERE you ask this question. In the Southern hemisphere, it would be fall going into winter which may be totally different than the spring/summer of the Northern hemisphere.
Where can cassiopeia be seen?
If you live north of roughly 34° north latitude, then Cassiopeia is always in the sky, 24/7. It never sets below your horizon, and is visible at any time on any clear night. (34° north is roughly the line through Los Angeles, Lubbock TX, Atlanta, Rabat Morocco, Beirut Lebanon, Baghdad, Kabul, and Xi'an China.) If your favorite stargazing hour is 10 PM, then Cassiopeia is highest in the sky around the beginning of December. If you prefer 4 AM, then Cassiopeia is highest in the sky at that hour around the beginning of August.
When is the September equinox and what happens?
Far from being an arbitrary indicator of the changing seasons, March 20 (March 21 in some years) is significant for astronomical reasons. On March 20, 2008, at precisely 1:48 A.M. EDT (March 20, 05:48 Universal Time), the Sun will cross directly over the Earth's equator. This moment is known as the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. For the Southern Hemisphere, this is the moment of the autumnal equinox.This also happens on September 22/23The days and nights are of equal length

What season would a town in the southern hemisphere have during winter?
During the southern hemisphere's winter, it would be winter in that town. At the same time, it is summer in the northern hemisphere.

Is Sirius visible at night in the northern hemisphere during the summer?
No. Sirius is a star that is seen during the winter months in the northern hemisphere.
Why does winter have to be the shortest day of the year?
During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the earth is tilted by its axis so the Northern Hemisphere is away from the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is closer to the sun. During winter in the Southern Hemisphere, the earth axis is tilted the other way, so that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is farther away.
Why do people in Australia snow-ski during the northern hemisphere's summer months?
In the southern hemisphere it is winter when in the northern hemisphere it is summer.
What is true when the nothern half of earth is tilted toward the sun?
