On any night of the year, Polaris can be seen from the northern hemisphere
and cannot be seen from the southern one.
(Assuming the sky is clear in the north.)

If it is summer in the nrothern hemispher what season is it in the southern hemispher?
Because of the earths tilted axis, it is always opposite, so if its its summer in the Southern Hemisphere its is winter in the northern hemisphere, and visa versa. also if its fall in the Southern Hemisphere, is is spring in the northern hemisphere, also visa versa
What countries experience winter in June?
it is not countries it is only one country and it is Antarctica and the reason for that is because the earth tilts on its axis so while all the other countries at the Southern Hemisphere experiences summer the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing winter
What effect does the hemisphere have on the seasons?
The hemisphere you are in (northern or southern) has an effect on when you experience the seasons. At points in the earth's orbit it is either the southern or northern hemisphere that is tilted further towards the sun. This makes that hemisphere warmer, experiencing summer while the other colder and experiences winter. Then six months later, things are reversed.
How long does it take for the seasons to occur?
Lets start with the Earth at a zero degree tilt both in the Northern Hemisphere and in the Southern Hemisphere. This is called the equinox, because neither hemisphere is tilting towards the sun. Now as the Northern Hemisphere tilts towards the sun at a tilt of 23.5 degrees which actually varies over time, but for this explanation lets just say 23.5 degrees. When the Northern Hemisphere reaches this tilt towards the sun, the Northern Hemisphere has summer, while the Southern Hemisphere has winter, because the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun at 23.5 degrees. The opposite case is true for when the Northern Hemisphere has winter and the Southern Hemisphere has summer.
What oceans are in the southern hemisphere and northern hemisphere?
The Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans span both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres. The Arctic Ocean is solely in the Northern Hemisphere while the Southern Ocean is solely in the Southern Hemisphere.
When it is winter in the northern hemisphere it is summer in the....?
Yes, the Southern Hemisphere is in winter while the northern is in summer
Is it warmer in July than January in the northern hemisphere?
Yes. In January the northern hemisphere is still in winter, while in July the northern hemisphere is in the middle of summer.
Is the winter solstice tilted toward the sun?
At both the winter and summer solstices, the Earth is tilted towards the sun. What differs is which hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. In the northern hemisphere at its winter solstice, the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, while the northern hemisphere it tilted away from the sun. In the southern hemisphere at its winter solstice, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, while the southern hemisphere it tilted towards the sun. When it is the winter solstice in one hemisphere, it is the summer solstice is in the other hemisphere. For a winter solstice, that particular hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.
Why does the southern hemisphere experience winter and summer solstice in different times than of the northern hemisphere?
As everyone knows the Earth tilts on it's axis at the angle of 66 and half degrees. On 21st December the Earth tilts on it's axis so that the sun would hit the southern hemisphere and then the southern hemisphere would have winter while the northern hemisphere would have winter. So when the sun's rays hit the northern hemisphere then the northern hemisphere would have summer while the southern hemisphere would have winter.
Why is it summer in the northern hemisphere but winter in the southern hemisphere?
Because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the northern hemisphere it is summer because the Earth is tilted toward the sun while the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun making it winter; and vica versa.
Why does your friend have to pack a winter coat when she is in the southern hemisphere and she wants to go to the northern hemisphere?
It is colder in the northern hemisphere and the seasons are opposite. So, while it is summertime in the southern hemisphere where your friend lives, it would be snowing in the northern hemisphere. Therefore, you'd need a jacket.
How do the seasons of Australia to the seasons of the countries in the Northern Hemisphere?
The seasons are reversed. When it is spring or summer in the northern hemisphere, it is the autumn (fall) or the winter in Australia. This is caused by the northern part of the world being tipped the opposite way (towards or away) from the sun to Australia. The seasons in Australia and other countries in the Southern Hemisphere are reversed from those in the Northern Hemisphere. When it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and so forth. For example, the Australian summer starts in December, while winter begins in July.
What bird 6 months live in southern hemisphere and 6 months in northern hemisphere?
Migratory birds like Bar-tailed Godwits, Northern Pintails live in the southern hemisphere while it is summer. When winter starts, they start flying towards northern hemisphere and spend whole winter here where it is less colder than southern hemisphere.
Is it winter in Africa while it's winter in the US?
The Northern Hemisphere has winter during November-January, whilst the Southern Hemisphere has winter during the Northern Hemipshere's summer. Some parts of Africa are in the Northern Hemisphere whilst other parts are South of the Equator. So some parts of Africa will have winter at the same time as the US whilst the Southern Part (Kenya, South Africa etc.) will have their summer when its the US's winter!
Where is the northern hemisphere in relation to the sun when it is in the southern hemisphere?
In summer, the N. Hemisphere is oriented toward the Sun, while the S. Hemisphere is oriented away. In the winter, the opposite is true. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun in the N. Hemisphere Winter than in the Summer.
