Is the leading edge of an air mass called a front?
The leading edge of a mass of air with certain, uniform moisture and temperature characteristics is called a front. i.e. The leading edge of a relatively warm air mass is called a warm front. The leading edge of a cooler air mass is called a cold front.
Where does cold air come from that produces a tornado?
The thunderstorms that produce tornadoes often form along cold fronts, when a old air mass pushes into a warm air mass. The cold front develops when a low pressure system (which rotates counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere) pulls cold air from the north. For U.S. storm systems this cold air is pulled down from Canada.
When a warm air mass moves into an area where a cold air mass is located it is called a?

Is there a short day of the year?
In the northern hemisphere it is the winter solstice. In winter we are tilted away from the sun. Today we are the "farthest" away from the sun and the most "tilted" It's only the shortest day of the year for the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, it is the longest day of the year. This is because the plane containing the equator does not cut the sun perfectly in half. What I mean by that is that the earth is tilted. Today, the earth is at such a position with the sun that the southern hemisphere is in front of the northern hemisphere for receiving sunlight. Because the earth rotates every day, the northern hemisphere will briefly be in front of the southern hemisphere (day), but for most of the day-the longest percentage of the day all year-the southern hemisphere will be in front(night).

How are the seasons in the nothern and southern hemisphere different?
