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.

Which way should you face a solar house and why?

Southern hemisphere You can face a house any way, but , it is better if you have the living room and rooms that you spend most of your time in facing NORTH. Bedrooms should not face north, as the heat you get from the north only is during the day, making it useless when you are in bed at night. Why? In summer, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and it goes directly overhead during the day. In winter, the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, but because of the tilt of the earth, during the day the swings to the north, which means the sunlight comes from the north. Northern Hemisphere I dont live in the northern hemispere, but i assume it is all the opposite, the living room facing south and so on. - written by a 12 yr old girl after doing a project on solar housing
