Is sun higher or lower in winter?
The sun stays where it is, the earths axis shifts. It depends if you are in the northern or southern hemisphere. northern hemisphere, lower, southern is higher. Ie. shorter and longer days.
Why are temperatures in lower atmosphere rising?
Because all the warm air is rising and traveling to the colder spots in the northern hemisphere.
What are most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere are best described as violently roatating columns of air surrounded by?
They are often surrounded by a cloud of dust or debris. sepcially around the lower potions. This applies to tornadoes in the southern hemisphere as well.
Why does the sun appear lower in the sky in the summer?
Because the Earth is tilted further away (back) from the Sun.
Which constellation is rigel found?
In Orion, on the lower right as seen from the northern hemisphere, a bright white-coloured star. Compare Betelgeuse at the opposite corner of Orion, a red giant. The colours are more visible in binoculars.
What effect causes winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect.
This effect causes winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere?
Coriolis or Coriolis effect

Northen Hemisphere. If you were positioned a bit further south would the curve traced out by the sun be higher or lower in the sky?
In the Northern Hemisphere the curve would be higher, in the Southern Hemisphere it would be lower.
Is Iran in the Eastern or Western hemisphere?
northern
In what general direction does energy flow in the northern hemisphere?
Energy always flows from a HIGHER state to a Lower state, regardless of the Hemisphere you are in.
Why does the heat equator move farther into the Northern Hemisphere in July than it moves into the Southern Hemisphere in January?
There is more land surface in the Northern Hemisphere and land has a lower specific heat than water therefore warming faster than the vast oceans of the Southern Hemisphere.
What are the upper and lower boundaries of the biosphere?
The biosphere is divided into the Northern hemisphere and the Southern hemisphere. The two hemispheres are divided by a horizontal tropic called the equator.
What is the relationship between the Earth and sun that causes the seasons to occur?
The seasons we experience on Earth, where we see more daylight in the summer and less in the winter, come about due to the tilt in the earths axis. This tilt of 23.5° to the horizontal means that during its progression around the sun in one year, the northern hemisphere will `lean` towards the sun more at one part of the cycle, giving rise to summer months for the northern hemisphere and winter months for the southern hemisphere. Six months later, with the earth on the other side of the sun, the tilt causes the northern hemisphere to be less exposed to the sun, tilting away from it. This gives winter for the northern hemisphere (less daylight hours and lower sun during the day) and summer for the summer hemisphere.
Why are the days so short in December?
The northern hemisphere has less daylight because the northern hemisphere is leaning away from the Sun. The Sun then appears to be lower and does not spend as much time above the horizon. However, the southern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, so it has more hours of daylight in December, and it is summer there. Mid-summer in the northern hemisphere, when the northern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, means more hours of daylight, while the southern hemisphere has less, because it is leaning away and in its winter.
What two halves is the earth divided in?
Hemisphere: Is the center line that divides the world in half vertically Equator: Is the center line that divides the world horizontally. Both of these lines are imaginary lines drawn up on maps and globes.
Why are temperatures in lower atmosphere rising?
Because all the warm air is rising and traveling to the colder spots in the northern hemisphere.
