Yes, exposure to the sun for long periods any where on earth carys the same risks.

But we who live in the north don't worry to much about that for 6 months a year or more because its too cold to go without clothing to the point where you are exposed.

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.

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.


Northern hemisphere what direction does the sun rise?

The sun rises in the east, same as in the northern hemisphere. The sun rising is a function of the planet's rotation, which is the same universally. The difference in seasons between the northern and southern hemispheres is a function of the Earth's tilt, and the changes in what areas face the sun more strongly depending on what point the Earth is in it's orbit around the sun.


Why does the sun never sets during Scandinavian summertime?

Because of the tilt of the Earth, which keeps northern areas tilted towards the sun during that time of year.
