Where are the southern and northern hemispheres located?

The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the world (through the center) along an East/ West plane. Everything north of the line makes up the northern hemisphere, while everything falling south of the line makes up the southern hemisphere


Why are you not falling of the earth?

On which hemisphere are the sun's ray's falling most directly?

Between March 20th and September 20th (or there abouts) the northern hemisphere receives the majority of the sunlight, while during September 20th to March 20th, the southern hemisphere receives more light. This is due to the earths tilt.


What does rotation do?

As Earth rotates around the sun, our seasons change. This happens due to the Earth being tilted on its axis. When the Earth is on that side of the sun where its North pole is tilted toward the sun, the sun's rays fall more directly down on the Northern Hemisphere, and that hemisphere experiences summer. (At this same time, the sun's rays will be falling more obliquely on the Southern Hemisphere, and it will be experiencing winter.) Six months later, when the Earth is on the opposite side of the sun, its North Pole will be tipped away from the sun, and the sun's rays will fall more obliquely on the Northern Hemisphere, thus causing winter there. (And, again, at this same time, the sun's rays will now be falling more directly down on the Southern Hemisphere, and it will be experiencing summer.) Interestingly -- at least for folks in the Northern Hemisphere -- we are actually slightly closer to the sun during our winter than we are in our summer. The above concerns the Earth's rotation around the sun. The Earth, of course, also rotates about its own axis. This causes our day and night: when your side of the planet is facing the sun, it's daytime. But as the planet rotates, your side turns away from the sun and then it's night. Luckily, it will keep on rotating and as your side turns toward the sun we get first the dawn and then another daytime.


What season occurs in North America when the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun?

North America enters fall and then winter seasons as the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. In the fall, the air and earth in North America cools, with falling temperatures and more winds. The leaves on trees change colors, then fall. Winters can be mild to very harsh.

Why do pigeons heads fall off when they die?

I have never heard of pigeon's heads falling off when they die. I don't think they do. Recently a Danish Scientist concluded that this in fact was a myth and that Pigeons heads only fall off in the southern hemisphere.


Why do fall and spring fall on the certain days that they do?

The beginnings of spring and fall/autumn (depending on where you are on the globe) are determined astronomically, and they occur at an exact moment, the same moment for everyone on Earth. The Vernal Equinox is the moment when spring begins in the northern hemisphere-- fall/autumn begins at this time in the southern hemisphere, and it is the moment that the center of the sun passes over the equator as it travels north along the ecliptic (the ecliptic is the imaginary path that describes the apparent motion of the sun during the course of the year)This happens in late March. The Autumnal equinox is when the center of the sun passes over the equator as it travels south along the ecliptic, in late September. This is the beginning of autumn for us in the north, and the beginning of spring for the southern hemisphere.
