∙ 10y agoTrue or false the northern hemisphere experiences winter when earth is farthest from the Sun?
That's false.
The Earth is about 2.5 million kilometers closer to the Sun than average, at that time of year.
That's a distance of about 147 million kilometers from the Sun.

∙ 11y agoPlease note that the solstices / equinoxes are unrelated to the Earth-Sun distance; they are related to the inclination of Earth's axis.
Earth is closest to the Sun somewhere around January 2-4, so on December 21, it is near this closest point - a little over 147 million kilometers.

∙ 9y agoThat depends whether you mean the northern winter or the southern winter. In January, when it is winter in the north (and summer in the south), the Earth is closest to the Sun - about 147 million kilometers. Please note that the seasons are NOT related to the varying distance from Sun to Earth.

Why is December 21 important to science?
December 21 is the winter solstice. This is the first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and the shortest day of the year. The earth is tilted approximately 23.5 degrees on its axis. On two days of the year, the equator of the earth is closer to the sun due to this tilt. These days are June 21 and December 21. On December 21, the sun appears to be close to the horizon, resulting in the shortest day of the year. From December 21 onward, days get longer and longer. In the southern hemisphere it is the day with most sunlight.
What is luner eclips?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the earth so that the earth blocks the sun's rays from striking the moon. This occurs only when the sun, earth and the moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle...
The sun's rays strike Earth at their northernmost and southernmost positions during when?
At the moments when the sun reaches the solstices ... some time around June 21 (north) and December 22 (south).
The northern hemisphere leans away from the sun most on?
The northern hemisphere leans away from the sun the most on "Winter solstice", around December 21. This is the official start of Winter in the northern hemisphere, although the earth is slightly closer to the sun than it is in the Summer.
What day of the year does the sun rise farthest south?
In the northern hemisphere, the Summer Solstice is on June 21 (plus or minus one day depending on the cycle of leap years), and the Sun is as far north of the equator as it ever gets. In the southern hemisphere, June 21 is the winter solstice.In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is on December 21 (this is the summer solstice "Down Under") when the Sun is as far south of the equator as it ever gets.

Why is the South Pole tilted directly towards the Sun on December 21?
It's not.On December 21, the South Pole is tilted as far as it can be -- 23-1/2 degrees above the horizon -- away from the Sun.This phenomenon is because the Earth tilts both poles toward and away from the sun -- alternatively -- as it wobbles its way through the Universe.
How would areas of daylight and night would differ if a map represented June 21 instead of December 21?
its called revolution and its when the earth moves around the sun... for the earth to move completely around the sun it takes an entire year.
What is equinox and solstic?
The June solstice, which falls on or near June 21, is the point it the earth's orbit at which the north pole's tilt toward the sun is at its maximum and the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer. The December solstice, which falls on or near December 21, is the point in the earth's orbit at which the south pole's tilt toward the sun is at its maximum and the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn. The equinoxes, which fall on or near March 20 and September 22, are the points in the earth's orbit at which the earth's rotational axis is perpendicular to the sun's rays and the sun is directly over the equator.

What is the reason for the South Pole being tilted away from the Sun on June 21?
The phenomenon you describe occurs because the Earth tilts on its axis and and reverses itself on December 21.

Will the world end Friday 21 December 2012?
The earth revolving the sun will change its path.Hence earth loses its gravity force this causes earthquake all over world...
The sun's rays strike Earth at their northernmost and southernmost positions during when?
At the moments when the sun reaches the solstices ... some time around June 21 (north) and December 22 (south).
What is the reason why the South Pole is tilted almost directly toward the sun on December 21?
The phenomenon you describe occurs because the Earth tilts on its axis and and reverses itself on June 21.
What would happen if the earth was always oriented as it is on December 21?
Earth would drift toward the sun due to no centrifugal force being exerted anymore. We'd all burn.
Time of sun's greatest distance from equator?
"Solstices" ... June 21 and December 21.
