In the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun apparently rises in the east and sets in the west. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is the other way around. The Sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Note that the Sun does not actually move, it is Earth that makes it appear to move.

What brings about the season?
The Earth's tilt in relation to the Sun, so if you live on the northern hemisphere, from June to September the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun creating Summer. Meanwhile, during the same months the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun creating winter.
Which equinox occurs in september in the northern hemisphere?
The fall equinox occurs in September in the Northern Hemisphere.
Why is a southern exposure generally the most satisfactory direction in solar-orienting a window wall?
This only applies in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere a northern exposure is desirable. The sun angle, or altitude, varies depending on the latitude. North of the equator, the higher the latitude, the more southerly the sun angle, therefore the greater the exposure to the sun from a southern oriented window. Conversely, in the latitudes south of the equator, thehigher the latitude, the more northerly the sun angle.
At what degree of lat are the sun's rays the strongest?
That depends on the time of year as a result of the Earth's tilt. The rays are strongest between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, Cancer at the Northern hemisphere Midsummer (June) and Capricorn at the Southern hemisphere Midsummer (December).
How would the northern hemisphere look in the high latitude zone on December?
how a December day would look like in the high latitude zones, both Northern and Southern Hemispheres
In the northern hemisphere the sun sets in the?

Does the sunrise and sunset positions change?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east.
Where does the sun rise in the northern hemisphere in January in Florida?
In January, in the northern hemisphere, including Florida, the sun rises in the southeast and sets in the southwest. Due to Florida's location, the angle at which the sun rises and sets might vary slightly, but generally, it will rise more towards the east.
In Britain does the sun set in the east?

In the northern hemisphere...the sun rises...?
yeah the sun does rise in the northern hemisphere
If it is winter in the northern hemisphere which hemisphere is getting more of the sun's radiation?
If it is winter in the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere will get more of the sun's radiation.
When does Winter Happen?
When The northern hemisphere Or Southern Hemisphere Is Tilted Away From The Sun
Is the sun below the northern horizon or the southern horizon at midnight in the Northern Hemisphere?
The sun is below the northern horizon at midnight in the Northern Hemisphere.
When the southern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun what season is it in the northern hemisphere?
It is Winter in the northern hemisphere.
Which hemisphere is tilted toward the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere?
The Northern Hemisphere will be in summer, and the Southern Hemisphere will be in winter.
The length of day?
if today sun sets at 6 pm in northern hemisphere , then at how many minutes will it set tomorrow
