Why is it hotter in summer than in the winter in the northern hemisphere?
Because the Earth's axis tilts 23.5 degrees and during the time we call "summer" this tilt in the northern hemisphere is towards the Sun. The Earth is in fact further away from the Sun during the northern hemisphere's summer (aphelion is around July 5 this year) but the more perpendicular rays from our star heat the atmosphere and land better then. (Closest approach - perihelion - is during the first week of January).
Why does the southern hemisphere experience winter solstice and summer solstice in different times than that of the northern hemisphere?
because it does
The northern hemisphere leans away from the sun most on?
The northern hemisphere leans away from the sun the most on "Winter solstice", around December 21. This is the official start of Winter in the northern hemisphere, although the earth is slightly closer to the sun than it is in the Summer.
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 does northern hemisphere get more sun than the southern?
There's no "why". Both hemispheres get the same.
How do use solar in a sentence?
"The solar rays are hotter on the equator than in the northern hemisphere."
Why is it snowing more in the northern hemisphere than the south?
Because the northern hemisphere has cooler places and it involves positions with the atmosphere.
What country will have a hot Christmas out of South Africa or New Zealand?
Due to the nature of the terrain and the climate, South Africa will have a hotter Christmas than New Zealand. However, both countries celebrate Christmas during the summer month of December, so both countries have a hotter Christmas than countries in the northern hemisphere.
Is the US closer to North Pole or south pole?
The US is completely in the northern hemisphere. Every place in the northern hemisphere is closer to the north pole than it is to the south pole.
Which is hotter southern or northern?
Overall, southern regions tend to be hotter than northern regions due to their closer proximity to the equator. However, there can be variations based on specific locations and environmental factors.
Is the north hemisphere farther than the south hemisphere?
The Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere meet each other along the Equator, so they are the same distance.
Are there more countries in the north or south hemisphere?
There are more countries in the Northern hemisphere than there are in the Southern. There are approximately 30 nations in the southern hemisphere, the number varies depending on what you decide to do with nations the equator passes through. There are more than 30 nations in Europe alone, so adding the other countries in the Northern hemisphere would lead to a number much larger than 30.
Why does south America get longer hours of daylight in December than in the UK?
UK is in the northern hemisphere while south Africa is in the southern hemisphere. during december the suns rays fall directly on the southern hemisphere while northern hemisphere gets slant rays hence UK is colder in december than Africa.
Why are southern states warmer than northern states?
This is only true for the northern hemisphere. The reason is that the further south you go, the more directly overhead the sun is on average. The means that there is more heat from the sun per square mile.
Is the population of the Northern Hemisphere larger than the Southern Hemisphere?
what is the population of Northern Hemisphere
Why is the southern hemisphere warmer than the northern hemisphere?
No, the northern hemisphere summer is hotter when you look at the planetary average. The reason is that there is more land in the northern hemisphere and when the sunlight hits the land it bounces off and heats up the air much more than when sunlight hits water. So whichever side with more land will have a hotter average summer, in the earth's case, by about 4 degrees Fahrenheit. On the other hand, the amount of water in your local environment has a much greater influence on the heat of your summer than which hemisphere you're in. For more detail, check out NASA's explanation below.
Is there more people in the northern hemisphere than the south?
Yes, approximately 90% of the world's population resides in the northern hemisphere. This is due to the distribution of landmasses and more habitable regions in the northern hemisphere.
