True or false earth is closest to the sun when it is summer in the northern hemisphere?
False:The Earth has an ecliptic orbit around the Sun and is closest to the Sun at perihelion [See related link]. This occurs about January 3rd. So the closest point to the Sun is during the winter months in the northern hemisphere.The Earth is the furthest from the Sun at aphelion [See related link] around 4th July.The phenomenon of seasons are influenced by the tilt of the earth's axis, and which hemisphere is receiving the most direct light.There-in lies your answer.Is the earth closer or farther from the sun when the northern hemisphere receives the most direct sunlight?
What season is it in Argentina during July?
Since Argentina is in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere, which includes the USA. Summer starts on December 1st, and ends on February 28th (or 29th in leap years). Winter, on the other hand, starts on June 1st and ends on August 31st. Some sources may say that winter, in the Northern Hemisphere starts on December 21st or 22nd, the resources online are inconsistent, the date is simply Northern Hemisphere's winter solstice. The general dates of the weather in Argentina applies to all of the countries in the South Hemisphere. (For example: Australia.) As an F.Y.I. Australia's Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology's Web site section on the nation's climate indicates that "Summer is from December to February; autumn from March to May; winter from June to August; and spring from September to November. For most of the country the hottest month is January." (Related: Australia's climate)
Do tornadoes always follow the rotation of the earth?
No. While most tornadoes rotate in a direction that matches earth's (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern), a small percentage go against this. The origin of the spin in tornadoes is not directly related to earth's rotation. Most tornadoes also move in an easterly direction, but not always.
When does spring start?
That depends on whether you are in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere, and what year you are asking about. See the related questions for more details, but here are some general dates for many years: 2000: March 20 or September 22 2001: March 20 or September 22 2002: March 20 or September 23 2003: March 21 or September 23 2004: March 20 or September 22 2005: March 20 or September 22 2006: March 20 or September 23 2007: March 21 or September 23 2008: March 20 or September 22 2009: March 20 or September 22 2010: March 20 or September 23 2011: March 20 or September 23 2012: March 20 or September 22 It should be noted that in many of the countries of the southern hemisphere, Spring officially begins on the 1st of September every year. Countries such as Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, as well as many island nations of the South Pacific, recognise the start of Spring, rather than the vernal equinox, as being the beginning of September.

When it's summer in New York City where is it winter?
New York City is in the Northern Hemisphere (above the Equator). When it's summer in New York City, it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere (below the Equator). The Equator is an imaginary line that goes around the Earth's middle, and divides it into a top half and a bottom half. The Northern Hemisphere is the top half, and the Southern Hemisphere is the bottom half. The Northern and Southern Hemispheres have opposite seasons: when it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and when it's summer in the Southern Hemisphere, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere. When it's spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it's autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, and when it's spring in the Southern Hemisphere, it's autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. See the Related Link below for more information.

However, tributaries of the "White Nile" extend south of Lake Victoria into Rwanda, and are therefore in the southern hemisphere. (see map at related links)
