Is it true in December the shortest daytime is in the southern hemisphere?
Yes, it is true. In December, which is summer in the southern hemisphere, the tilt of the Earth causes the southern hemisphere to be tilted towards the sun. This results in longer days and shorter nights in the southern hemisphere during this time of the year. Conversely, the northern hemisphere experiences its shortest daytime and longest nighttime in December.
Why aren't Southern Hemisphere summers warmer than Northern Hemisphere summers?
The Earth is closer to the Sun by about 3 million miles (5 million km) in January than in July. This would seem to make the summer temperatures hotter in the Southern Hemisphere (and the winters colder). However, this is only true of localized regions. Most of the Southern hemisphere is water, which does not increase in temperature as much as land. The maritime climates of the Southern hemisphere are often cooler during their summer than summer in the continental areas of the Northern hemisphere.
When Earth is closest to the sun the northern hemisphere is in winter why is this true?
When Earth is closest to the sun the southern hemisphere receives more of the sun's rays, making it hotter, or summer there, and winteri nthe north.
What is inclination and declination?
