When can Orion be seen on Earth?
During the Winter months, in the northern hemisphere. For most of the year , in many places, in the southern hemisphere.
Why is it summer in the northern hemisphere when it is winter in the southern hemisphere?
The earth is on an angle of 23.5 degrees. So one end of the planet is closer to the sun then the other. During the northern hemisphere's summer its is closest to the sun and the southern hemisphere is furthest from the sun.
Why is the Earth closest to the Sun in January but January is cold in the northern hemisphere?
In January the north pole is pointed away from the sun.
Why is the Earth is closest to the Sun in the Northern Hemisphere's in winter?
Because the Earth travels round the Sun in an elliptical orbit and at present the closest approach the Sun during that elliptical orbit occurs during the Northern winter. However precession of the axis of the Earth's rotation means that in about 12 thousand years time, the closest approach will be during the Northern Summer.
Is a hemsiphere half of the Earth?
actually a hemisphere is a fourth of the earth because the earth has a western, eastern, northern and southern hemisphere.
When is sun closest to equator?
in the northern hemisphere the sun is closest to earth in the dead of winter
Why is the Northern Hemisphere is in winter when earth is closest to the sun?
Because Earth travels in an ellipse.
When earth is closest to the sun the northern hemisphere is in winter?
Because Earth travels in an ellipse.
When Earth is closest to the sun the Northern Hemisphere is in winter.?
Because Earth travels in an ellipse.
Is it true that earth is closest to the sun when its summer in the northern hemisphere?
No. As it happens the Earth is closest to the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere. Seasons like summer and winter are related to the tilt of the earth with respect to the plane of its orbit about the sun, not to the distance from the sun.
When Earth is closest to the sun the Northern Hemisphere is in winter. Given the effects of precession will this still be the case in 13000 years?

When earth closest to the sun the northern hemisphere is in the 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.

True or false earth is closest to the sun when it is summer in the northern hemisphere?
False:The Earth has an ecliptic orbit around the Sun and is closest to the Sun at perihelion [See related link]. This occurs about January 3rd. So the closest point to the Sun is during the winter months in the northern hemisphere.The Earth is the furthest from the Sun at aphelion [See related link] around 4th July.The phenomenon of seasons are influenced by the tilt of the earth's axis, and which hemisphere is receiving the most direct light.There-in lies your answer.Is the earth closer or farther from the sun when the northern hemisphere receives the most direct sunlight?
Earth is closest to the sun during which season in the northern hemisphere?
Winter. The Earth reaches its perihelion (the point in its orbit when it is closest to the sun) during the month of January (around January 3rd currently), which falls during the season of winter in the northern hemisphere.
