Houses in the Southern Hemisphere generally face north to take advantage of the sun's path, which is predominantly in the northern part of the sky. This orientation helps to maximize natural light and warmth in the home.

Winds that blow from 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres almost to the equator?
The winds that blow from 30 degrees latitude towards the equator are called the trade winds. They are reliable wind patterns that blow from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere, converging near the equator. These winds were historically important for trade routes, hence the name "trade winds".
If the wind is facing north do you put the wind direction as north or south?
If the wind is coming from the north, you would indicate the wind direction as "north." This convention is based on the direction from which the wind is originating, not where it is heading.
What direction are you facing if west is to the right of you?
If west is to the right of you, then you are facing north.
What direction of solar panel?
face north if you are in southern hemisphere, and south in northern hemisphere.
At what angle and direction should a solar panel face if you live in the Southern hemisphere?
They should face north.
What direction does a crested barbet nest face?
In the Southern Hemisphere it is preferable (but not mandatory) that the nest face mainly south.
Why do houses in SA face north?
Because in the southern hemisphere the north face of the house receives the most sunlight, all day long in fact. It's the opposite of homes in the northern hemisphere, where the south face gets the most sun.
What direction do Japanese houses face?
They dont have a particular direction,they can face any direction.
Which direction does the south pole face?
The south Pole is most southern point on the earth. If you stand there, then any direction you can face is north.
Why nature refers to the anti clock wise direction?
An insightful question. In the northern hemisphere, the gnomon on a sundial will have its shadow travel around the face, and in a clockwise direction! In the southern Hemisphere the travel will be anticlockwise. But the Northern guys got there first, hence clockwise. [Likewise, the northern guys named their pole North, and that settled that issue!] Even arbitrary can sometimes have logic behind it.
How many convection cells are there on Earth?
There are three convection cells in the southern hemisphere. There are also three convection cells in the northern hemisphere, making a total of six on the face of the Earth.
Why do satellite dishes face south?
Most communication satellites orbit at or near the equator. In the northern hemisphere this is obviously to the south. In the southern hemisphere it is to the north, so the dishes would point north.
Why do the south facing sides of a building receive more sunlight than the north?
Because we live in the Northern Hemisphere. The most sun exposure on Earth is at the Equator so in the Northern Hemisphere, the southern-facing windows have the largest angle facing the sun while the northern-facing windows face away from the sun. In the southern hemisphere, this is the opposite.
How many faces at hemisphere?

How many faces does a hemisphere have in geometry?
