When sunlight shines equally on the southern and northern hemispheres, it is called an equinox.

This results in nearly equal lengths of day and night globally.


What time of year can the constellation Orion be seen?

Orion is best seen when the Sun is in the opposite half of the sky. That happens in the period centered around December. Obviously, December means it's winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere.


When the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun what happens?

When the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, it experiences summer because more sunlight is focused on that region. This results in longer days and warmer temperatures. Conversely, when the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it experiences winter due to receiving less sunlight.
