What else can I help you with?
Can people in the southern hemisphere see the same constellations as people in the northern hemisphere?
No. One of the better known constellations in the northern hemisphere is the big dipper. People in the southern hemisphere can't see this. In the south the well known constellation is the southern cross, and you can't see this in the northern hemisphere.
Why it is summer in the northern hemisphere at the same time winter in the southern hemisphere?
winter
Why do constellations appear the same in the northern and southern hemisphere?
When moving from the northern hemisphere to the south, you have to turn round and look the other way before the constellations look upside down. So Orion, for example, looks one way up from Europe when you are facing south, but if you are in South Africa you must face north, and then Orion is the other way up.
Are there such things as the southern lights?
Yes there are. They are the same phenomenon as the Northern Lights. It happens at both the north pole and south pole. The Northern Lights can be seen in much of the northern hemisphere and the Southern Lights in much of the southern hemisphere.
Why does northern hemisphere get more sun than the southern?
There's no "why". Both hemispheres get the same.
Can people in the southern hemisphere see the same constellations as people in the northern hemisphere?
No. One of the better known constellations in the northern hemisphere is the big dipper. People in the southern hemisphere can't see this. In the south the well known constellation is the southern cross, and you can't see this in the northern hemisphere.
Do you see the same constellations as those who live in the Southern Hemisphere?
no
Are the stars different in the northern hemisphere then the southern hemisphere?
The constellations are different due to the fact that you're looking completely different parts of the sky. However, some constellations which are directly above the Earth's equatorial regions remain the same.
Why can we only see the constellations in the north of the celestial sphere?
This is true if you live in the northern hemisphere. You can't see the southern stars because the bulk of the Earth is in the way. Different constellations are visible in each hemisphere, a constellation in the northern sky can be difficult or impossible to see from the southern hemisphere of the Earth, and vice versa. The reason is that the axis of the Earth's rotation is fairly constant. In its annual journey around the Sun it generally points in the same direction; people in the northern hemisphere will generally see the same constellations year round, and the same in the southern hemisphere. Those living near the equator see some of both. The tilt of the Earth's axis also makes some constellations somewhat seasonal, because of a slight change of the viewer's angle to the night sky.
What is the southern hemisphere?
The southern hemisphere is the half of Earth that is south of the equator. It includes continents like Australia, Antarctica, most of South America, and parts of Africa. Seasons in the southern hemisphere are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere.
Are the seasons the same in the north hemisphere as the south hemisphere?
Seasons in the northern hemisphere occur at opposite times to those in the southern hemisphere. For example, when it is winter in the southern hemisphere, it is summer in the northern hemisphere.
Do you agree that if it is summer in the northern hemisphere it is also summer in the southern hemisphere?
No, it is not necessarily summer in both hemispheres at the same time. Seasons are opposite in the northern and southern hemispheres, so if it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere.
Can same star constellations be seen from Europe and Australia?
Some of them, yes. Constellations along the Zodiac can be seen from either hemisphere, but constellations well away from the celesial equator cannot be seen very far in the other hemisphere. For example, Ursa Major is not visible in Australia, and the Southern Cross is not visible in Europe or North America. Most of the "official" constellations were named by northern hemisphere astronomers, or European navigators sailing in southern waters. Look at how many southern hemisphere constellations have a nautical theme; the Telescope, the Octant, the Quadrant. Even Cetus, the Whale, was named by sailors, not people who LIVED there.
The northern and southern hemisphere of the earth experience the same seasons at the same time - true?
No, it is not true. Due to the tilting of the world, when it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere, and visa versa.
What are some similarities between the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere?
there the same thing
What are the months that have winter in the Southern Hemisphere?
The same months that are summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Why it is summer in the northern hemisphere at the same time winter in the southern hemisphere?
winter
