Where would you look for the sun in the north?
The sun is typically located in the southern part of the sky in the northern hemisphere. It travels from east to west during the day. If you are in the northern hemisphere and facing north, you are unlikely to see the sun directly above you.
Why do hurricanes spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere?
Hurricanes in the northern hemisphere rotate counter-clockwise because the Earth rotates counter-clockwise and the speed of the air is faster closer to the equator because of the greater radius at the equator. Therefore, the speed of the air below travels faster than the air on top creating an imbalance. This causes there to be voids of low pressure which the air then travels towards (air travels from high pressure to low pressure). The high pressure surrounding the air causes it to remain travelling in a counter clockwise circle.Grade 12 Physics
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.
What causes seasonal change?
The Earth's axis is tilted relative to the plane of its orbit ... by 23.5 degrees. Therefore, when the north pole is pointed toward the sun the northern hemisphere is in spring/summer AND when it points away we are in fall/winter.Earth's position relative to the Sun continually changes as it travels along its orbit. At certain times, we are closer to the sun,(Winter in the northern hemisphere) and at other times we are further away.
What is path of the sun in the northern hemisphere?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the sun appears to rise in the east and moves across the sky toward the south, reaching its highest point at solar noon before setting in the west. Throughout the year, the sun's path varies with the seasons; it travels higher in the sky during summer and lower during winter. This variation is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, which affects the angle and intensity of sunlight received. As a result, the sun's trajectory is more pronounced during the summer months, leading to longer daylight hours.
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.
What way does a toliet flush?
depending on what side of the equator your on, if your in the northern hemisphere then it travels counterclockwise but if your in the southern H then it travels clockwise usually.
Where would you look for the sun in the north?

How will a wind blowing to the northern hemisphere be effected by the coriolis effect?
it will bend to the west

What hemisphere is the mekong river in?
The Mekong River is primarily located in the Northern Hemisphere, flowing through several countries in Southeast Asia, including China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. It originates in the Tibetan Plateau and travels southward before emptying into the South China Sea. While most of the river is in the Northern Hemisphere, its delta region lies near the equator, making it a significant geographical feature in both hemispheres.
How does the tilted axis make seasons?
As the Earth travels in its yearly orbit around the sun, in some seasons the axial tilt will cause the northern hemisphere to be tilted toward the sun while the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, and in other seasons it is the opposite. Whichever hemisphere tilts toward the sun gets more sunlight and is therefore warmer.
What impact does the Coriolanus effect have on the direction the air travels?
The Coriolis effect influences the direction of air movement by causing the Earth's rotation to deflect air masses to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection results in the formation of global wind patterns, such as the trade winds and westerlies.
How is weather related to wind direction?
pressure zones.. Buys ballot's law states that:"if you stand with your back to the wind in the northern hemisphere, the low pressure will be on your left side."In the nothern hemisphereWithin low pressure zones wind travels anti-clockwiseWithin high pressure zones wind travels clockwise
