Why is it winter in australia when it is summer in the US?
Summer. North America is located in the northern hemisphere while Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, so the seasons are exactly opposite. A simple explanation would be using the Sun's position. When it is winter in North America, the Sun is shining at a lower angle, experiencing less sunlight (daytime). As such, the Sun would naturally be shining at a higher angle in Australia, experiencing summer, with longer daytime (more sunlight).
Why does it get darker sooner in the winter?
Because the Earth is tilted on its axis. In the winter, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, so the path you travel on the Earth is more in the dark. Note that this is not true all over the Earth. On the equator, the days and nights are always equal. In the Southern hemisphere, it's the opposite of the Northern hemisphere.
When will the northern hemisphere be dark?
There is no time when the complete northern hemisphere is dark. As the earth rotates there is always some part of the northern hemisphere facing the sun, so it is bright there, and there is always a part of it that is facing away from the sun, so it is dark there.
What is the difference between the waning and waxing phases of the moon?
In the northern hemisphere, if the left side of the Moon is dark then the light part is growing, and the Moon is referred to as waxing (moving toward a full moon). If the right side of the Moon is dark then the light part is shrinking, and the Moon is referred to as waning (moving toward a new moon). Assuming that the viewer is in the northern hemisphere, the right portion of the Moon is the part that is always growing (i.e., if the right side is dark, the Moon is growing darker; if the right side is lit, the Moon is growing lighter). In the southern hemisphere the Moon is observed from a perspective inverted to that of the northern hemisphere, so the opposite sides appear to grow (wax) and shrink (wane).
What time of the year do the northern lights appear?
The northern lights, also known as aurora borealis, are typically visible in the fall and winter months in the northern hemisphere, with clear, dark skies being essential for viewing. The peak season for northern lights is from September to March.
Northern hemisphere will all be dark soon?
um, i dont really know what your question is, but i will answer according to "Will the Northern Hemisphere be completely dark soon?" The answer is, no, the northern hemisphere is never all dark, but when it is mostly dark, it is in December, and i am now answering this in April, so no, it wont be soon.

Which season begins in the northern hemisphere when the sun reaches its greatest distance southe of the equator?
The 'perihelion' is the point during the orbit of Earth when our planet is closest to the sun. The date of the perihelion was January 3rd. The point when Earth is farthest from the sun is called the 'aphelion.' It will occur on July 7th. It does not matter if you are in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere. The changing of the seasons is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, not its varying proximity to the sun. The dates of the perihelion and the aphelion actually change over long periods of time. Our twelve month calendar, the time it takes to go completely around the sun, is called a 'tropical' year. The time it takes to go from one perihelion to the next is called an 'anomalistic' year, and an anomalistic year is about 25 minutes longer than the tropical year. This means that the date of the perihelion changes by one day every 58 years, and 'regresses' entirely through a tropical in approximately 21,000 years. It is thought by many scientists that such a change might have a long term effect on the Earth's climate.
Can polaris only be seen in the Northern Hemisphere while winter?
On any night of the year, Polaris can be seen from the northern hemisphere and cannot be seen from the southern one. (Assuming the sky is clear in the north.)
Where is the great dark spot on scooter on the planet?
before it's in the south hemisphere of neptune but according to the recent study, it disappears and found in the northern hemisphere of it.
Why does it get dark at five o'clock in winter?
During winter in the northern or southern hemisphere, the Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees further back from the sun, so as the Earth rotates, anywhere on the winter hemisphere of the globe will experience more time in darkness than in daylight. Also during the winter, because we're tilted further back from the sun, it never gets very high above the horizon - even at noon. The time it will get dark in winter is based on your latitude, for example in Houston, Texas, at 30 degrees N, the sun sets around 5pm and it is completely dark at around 6.10pm. Further north (in the UK for example) it starts getting dark before 4pm in the winter and even further north at the Arctic Circle, the sun never rises meaning that it is stays pretty dark all day long!
What is the probability that it will go dark tonight?
It depends on where you are. During the summer in the Northern hemisphere, if you are North of the Arctic circle, the answer is 0.
Is earth tilted?
Yes, the Earth is tilted relative to the orbit around the sun. This is the cause of seasons and midnight sun/dark time north of the Arctic circle and south of the Antarctic circle (each located at 90° minus the tilt angle of their respective hemisphere).
The north pole is dark twenty-four hours a day during which season in the Northern Hemisphere?
Winter solstice will come for the northern hemisphere on December 21 in 2014. The region of earth that will have 24 hours of daylight is everything south of the Antarctic Circle.
When is the antarctic dark?
The Antarctic is on the extreme southern tip of the globe, and in the southern hemisphere the seasons are the opposite of those in the Northern hemisphere, i.e. summer in the North is June 21 - September 23 this year. Conversely, during this time Antarctica will be almost entirely in the dark.
