Which hemisphere northern or southern receives more hours of sunlight on April 1?
From March 21 until about September 21, the Earth's northern hemisphere is tilted towardthe sun, and receives more sun light on any day than the southern hemisphere does.
Why are seasons reversed in the southern hemisphere?
In short, because of the axial tilt of the earth. In May - July, the northern hemisphere is tilted more towards the sun and gets more sunlight at a more direct angle. The reverse is true for the southern hemisphere. In November - January, the situation is reversed; the southern hemisphere gets more direct sunlight.
Does the southern hemisphere receive more sunlight than Antarctica?
yes.
Scientific explanation for seasons?
its to do with the earths axis and the way it orbits the sun Answer 2 Yes. Because the Earth is tilted on its axis, as it moves round the Sun the northern hemisphere receives its sunlight less directly than the southern hemisphere. So it doesn't get as hot and the season is winter. The southern hemisphere's season at this time is therefore summer. When the Earth gets to the other side of the Sun the northern hemisphere will now be getting more direct sunlight and it will be summer. The other seasons are 'midway' times.
Why do we have seasons'?
We have seasons because Earth is tilted on its axis and it revolves around the sun. During May, June, and July, the northern hemisphere is exposed to more direct sunlight because the hemisphere faces the sun. The same is true of the Southern Hemisphere in November, December, and January. It is the tilt of the Earth that causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months.
What hemisphere receives more intense solar radiation on December 21-22?
Southern Hemisphere
Why do earth have season?
That's because Earth's axis is tilted (as compared to a line that is perpendicular to Earth's plane of rotation). As a result, during part of the year, the northern hemisphere receives more sunlight; during another part of the year, the southern hemisphere receives more sunlight.
Which hemisphere northern or southern receives more hours of sunlight on April 1?
From March 21 until about September 21, the Earth's northern hemisphere is tilted towardthe sun, and receives more sun light on any day than the southern hemisphere does.
Why does the northern hemisphere receive more sunlight than the southern hemisphere?
Whichever hemisphere (the Northern or Southern Hemisphere) is tilted toward the sun receives more direct rays of sunlight (or rays that are closer to perpendicular or a 90° angle). The hemisphere tilted toward the sun also has more hours of daylight than the hemisphere that is tilted away from the sun
Is the north pole closer to the sun?
Because of the earth's axial tilt the northern hemisphere receives more direct sunlight for half the year and the southern hemisphere receives more for the other half of the year. Neither is closer to the sun.
What time of the year does the southern hemisphere receive sun?
It receives sunlight all year, it gets more in Autumn and Winter.
What area of earth's surface receives more solar energy the North Pole the South Pole or Northern Hemisphere or the Equator?
The Equator receives 12 hours of sunlight every day all year. The poles only receive six months of sunlight, and the Northern Hemisphere experiences different amounts of sunlight in hours each day, depending on the season.
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.
Is there more or less light on Christmas day then on the first day of Decemeber?
There would be quite a bit less sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere and quite a bit more in the Southern Hemisphere on December 25 than on December 1 because December 25 is so close to the solstice.
Does the northern hemisphere have more daylight hours on December 21 to June 21?
The Tropic of Cancer ... an imaginary line of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere ... receives direct sun rays on June 21.
How does the sunlight you receive in the northern hemisphere compare to the amount in the southern hemisphere?
The amount of sunlight received in the northern hemisphere is generally more abundant than in the southern hemisphere due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This tilt causes the northern hemisphere to be tilted towards the sun during its summer months, resulting in longer days and more direct sunlight. Conversely, the southern hemisphere receives less sunlight during its summer months.
What is the day with the least amount of sunlight?
In the winter. More specifically on the Winter Solstice, which in the Northern Hemisphere falls between December 20 and 23 (December 21 for the years 2008, 2009, and 2010).
