When the Southern Hemisphere is most tilted toward the sun (the south pole
is never "pointed" directly at the sun), people in Texas call that the beginning
of Winter, since it occurs around December 21 or 22.
What else can I help you with?
The south end of earth's axis is tilted toward the sun in?
The south end of Earth's axis is tilted toward the sun in December. This tilt causes the Southern Hemisphere to experience summer during this time.
Why does lodestone pointed to the north?
Lodestone, a naturally magnetized mineral, is attracted to the Earth's magnetic field and aligns itself with the north-south direction. This property allows the lodestone to point toward the Earth's magnetic north pole when suspended freely.
Why are satellite TV dishes in the northern hemisphere pointed south and in the Southern Hemisphere pointed North?
Satellite TV dishes in the Northern Hemisphere are typically pointed south because the satellites that provide the TV signals are positioned over the equator. In the Southern Hemisphere, the dishes are pointed north for the same reason, as the satellites are still positioned over the equator but appear to be in the northern part of the sky from that perspective.
Why don't people who live in the southern hemisphere feel upside down?
Gravity pulls all things toward the center of the earth-- as a result, everyone on earth only feels upside down if their head is pointing toward the ground or they are high/drunk on something. North and South are just directions given to indicate the intersection of earth and its axes at the extreme edges of the earth. North is considered "up" simply because more people live in the northern hemisphere and most people like to think that they are "up." In fact, people in the southern hemisphere, especially Australia, have maps that we would consider upside-down, where north is down and south is up.

How will the hours of daylight for the North Pole change if the earths axis was always pointed toward the sun South Pole Equator your latitude?
If one end the Earth's axis always pointed toward the sun, then one pole would ALWAYS be in daylight, and the other pole would NEVER see daylight. Which is which would depend on which end of the axis pointed toward the sun. The Earth's "poles" are the ends of its axis of rotation. It's not possible for either end of the axis to point toward the equator or toward my latitude.
What is special about those pieces of metal that move away from a magnet?
What is special is that those bits of metal are magnetized, and their orientation is such that their poles are pointed to the magnetic. Lastly, the poles of the bits of metal that are pointed toward the magnet are the same as the pole of the magnetic that is pointing toward them. North pushes away north, or south pushes away south. (Like poles repel while opposite poles attract.)
The south end of earth's axis is tilted toward the sun in?
The south end of Earth's axis is tilted toward the sun in December. This tilt causes the Southern Hemisphere to experience summer during this time.
What position would the South Pole be in to experience 24 hours of darkness?
