Why aren't Southern Hemisphere summers warmer than Northern Hemisphere summers?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
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.

What would be the effect on the climate in the northern hemisphere if the tilt of earth increased to 24.5?
Both hemispheres would experience more extreme seasons ... warmer Summers and colder Winters.
Why is December likely to be warmer in Australia than in the UK?
The Earth's axis is tilted, and in December the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun. This means that the Sun's rays hit the southern hemisphere at a smaller angle from the vertical and are thus less spread out.
Why is the Southern Hemisphere warmer in January than in July?
January is summer in the southern hemisphere. Likewise, July is winter. The seasons are reversed in the two hemispheres because the Sun can only shine more directly on either the Northern or Southern hemispheres (creating summer), due to the axial tilt of the Earth.
When northern hemisphere south facing mountain slopes form a microclimate because they are?
Drier and Warmer
What hemisphere is tilted towards the sun during summer?
It depends on which hemisphere you live in. North of the equator, it is the northern hemisphere that is tilted towards the sun in the summer, resulting in longer days and warmer temperatures, while at the same time the southern hemisphere gets less sunlight resulting in shorter days and cooler weather. When the Earth tilts the other way, the opposite occurs and it is the north's turn to experience winter while the south enjoys summer.
How are winters in the Northern Hemisphere different from winters in the Southern Hemisphere?
In the Southern Hemisphere the winters are warmer than in the Northern Hemisphere.
Is winter in the northern hemisphere warmer than in the southern hemisphere?
No, it is not
When do cyclone ocure?
In the hemisphere's Warmer Months (Northern Hemisphere May - October, Southern Hemisphere November - April)
Why is Earth's surface warmer in the north hemisphere it is summer there?
The earth surface is warmer in the northern hemisphere when it issummer there because of the angle of the sun. For the same reason,the Earth's surface is warmer in the southern hemisphere when it isSummer there.
Why is it summer in the northern hemisphere at the same time it is winter in the southern hemisphere?
because the northern part of the earth tips towards the sun, obviously leaving the southern part to tip away from it, and the closer you are to the sun the warmer it is.
Is it warmer in southern Sweden or northern Sweden?
It is warmer In Southern Sweden than it is in Northern Sweden
What effect does the hemisphere have on the seasons?
The hemisphere you are in (northern or southern) has an effect on when you experience the seasons. At points in the earth's orbit it is either the southern or northern hemisphere that is tilted further towards the sun. This makes that hemisphere warmer, experiencing summer while the other colder and experiences winter. Then six months later, things are reversed.
What would be the result if the earth wasn't tilted?
Believe it or not, there would be no seasons! Since the earth is tilted, one side, the northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere, is closer to the sun. So if the northern hemisphere is closer, then it means that it is warmer there then in the southern, hence summer. In the southern, since it is colder, it would be winter.

Is it warmer in July than January in the northern hemisphere?
Yes. In January the northern hemisphere is still in winter, while in July the northern hemisphere is in the middle of summer.
why does it snow in some places on Christmas, whereas in other places its Summer?
it is because of the southern and Northern Hemispheres. If you are in the southern hemisphere then it won't snow much, where as in the northern hemisphere it will because it is colder, whereas in the southern hemisphere it is warmer.
Where is the tropical climate?
Tropical climates are in the Southern Hemisphere of the world. The whether is warmer and more favorable in the Southern Hemisphere.
