In the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun apparently rises in the east and sets in the west. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is the other way around. The Sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Note that the Sun does not actually move, it is Earth that makes it appear to move.
What else can I help you with?
What brings about the season?
The Earth's tilt in relation to the Sun, so if you live on the northern hemisphere, from June to September the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun creating Summer. Meanwhile, during the same months the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun creating winter.
Which equinox occurs in september in the northern hemisphere?
The fall equinox occurs in September in the Northern Hemisphere.
Why is a southern exposure generally the most satisfactory direction in solar-orienting a window wall?
This only applies in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere a northern exposure is desirable. The sun angle, or altitude, varies depending on the latitude. North of the equator, the higher the latitude, the more southerly the sun angle, therefore the greater the exposure to the sun from a southern oriented window. Conversely, in the latitudes south of the equator, thehigher the latitude, the more northerly the sun angle.
At what degree of lat are the sun's rays the strongest?
That depends on the time of year as a result of the Earth's tilt. The rays are strongest between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, Cancer at the Northern hemisphere Midsummer (June) and Capricorn at the Southern hemisphere Midsummer (December).
How would the northern hemisphere look in the high latitude zone on December?
how a December day would look like in the high latitude zones, both Northern and Southern Hemispheres
In the northern hemisphere the sun sets in the?
West, as it does in the southern hemisphere.
How can you tell direction from the sun?
To determine direction from the sun, observe the sun's position in the sky. In the Northern Hemisphere, the sun is generally in the southern part of the sky, so facing the sun means you are facing south. In the Southern Hemisphere, the sun is generally in the northern part of the sky, so facing the sun means you are facing north.
Where does the sun rise in the northern hemisphere in January in Florida?
Regardless of whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere, the sun always rises south of east (and sets south of west) from September-March and the sun rises north of east (and sets north of west) from March-September. So in January, wherever you are, the sun will rise in the south-east.
Where does the sun rise in the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Its exact position on the horizon where it rises changes slightly throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
In Britain does the sun set in the east?
Britain is in the Northern hemisphere, and as such the sun rises in the east and sets in the west (or north-west in midsummer)
The sun sets in the west?
That's correct! In the Northern Hemisphere, the sun sets in the southwest during the winter and northwest during the summer. In the Southern Hemisphere, the sun sets in the northwest during the winter and southwest during the summer due to the Earth's tilt and position.
In the northern hemisphere...the sun rises...?
yeah the sun does rise in the northern hemisphere
If it is winter in the northern hemisphere which hemisphere is getting more of the sun's radiation?
If it is winter in the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere will get more of the sun's radiation.
When does Winter Happen?
When The northern hemisphere Or Southern Hemisphere Is Tilted Away From The Sun
Is the sun below the northern horizon or the southern horizon at midnight in the Northern Hemisphere?
The sun is below the northern horizon at midnight in the Northern Hemisphere.
When the southern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun what season is it in the northern hemisphere?
It is Winter in the northern hemisphere.
Northern hemisphere what direction does the sun rise?
The sun rises in the east, same as in the northern hemisphere. The sun rising is a function of the planet's rotation, which is the same universally. The difference in seasons between the northern and southern hemispheres is a function of the Earth's tilt, and the changes in what areas face the sun more strongly depending on what point the Earth is in it's orbit around the sun.
