How can days be short and cold in one hemisphere when they are long and hot in another?
The Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere have the opposite seasons, because of the Earth's axial tilt with respect to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. Only on two days a year do both hemispheres receive about the same amount of sunlight for the same number of hours.
The Earth is a sphere: at most about half can be illuminated at any given time. Since the Earth is tilted with respect to its axis, one pole is tilted *toward* the Sun while the other is tilted *away* from the Sun. At the solstices, the pole tilted toward the Sun is in summer (receiving sunlight for the greatest part of a day) while the other is experiencing winter (receiving sunlight fpr the shortest part of a day).
This seasonal change is intensified because the angle of the Sun's rays is more directly vertical in the local summer, although it can only ever be directly over points between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. This reduces refraction and increases the effective insolation.
What else can I help you with?
Is it true in December the shortest daytime is in the southern hemisphere?
Yes, it is true. In December, which is summer in the southern hemisphere, the tilt of the Earth causes the southern hemisphere to be tilted towards the sun. This results in longer days and shorter nights in the southern hemisphere during this time of the year. Conversely, the northern hemisphere experiences its shortest daytime and longest nighttime in December.
During which season in the northern hemisphere is the sun's heat stronger and the days longer?
The sun's heat is stronger and the days are longer in the northern hemisphere during summer.
What is the season in June?
In the Northern Hemisphere, June is summer, but in the Southern Hemisphere, June is winter.
If it is fall in the southern hemisphere what season is it in the northern hemisphere?
It will be the opposite. If you are having winter now (2018), Australia is having the very hottest days that they have had.
What hemisphere is tilted towards the sun during summer?
It depends on which hemisphere you live in. North of the equator, it is the northern hemisphere that is tilted towards the sun in the summer, resulting in longer days and warmer temperatures, while at the same time the southern hemisphere gets less sunlight resulting in shorter days and cooler weather. When the Earth tilts the other way, the opposite occurs and it is the north's turn to experience winter while the south enjoys summer.
When do days get longer in the south?
During the northern hemisphere winter, the days are longer in the southern hemisphere, because it is summer there. During the southern hemisphere's winter the days are short.
How can days be short and cold on one hemisphere and long and hot in another?
This happens due to the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun. When one hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it receives less direct sunlight, resulting in shorter days and colder temperatures. At the same time, the other hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, receiving more direct sunlight, leading to longer days and hotter temperatures.
What climate zone has the shortest and longest days and nights?
cold for short days and longer nights
For us in the Northern hemisphere winter days are generally cold because?
the Earth's axis is tilted away from the sun during winter, causing sunlight to hit the Northern Hemisphere at a more oblique angle. This results in less direct sunlight and shorter days, leading to colder temperatures. Additionally, the cold air masses from the Arctic region play a role in bringing cold temperatures during winter.
Which hemisphere will have longer days in the month of July?
July is summer, with longer days, in the northern hemisphere
What kind of habitat does the Canadian horse live in?
Cold, long winters and short days.
How many days in spring in the southern hemisphere-?
There are 91 days of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
Is it true in December the shortest daytime is in the southern hemisphere?
Yes, it is true. In December, which is summer in the southern hemisphere, the tilt of the Earth causes the southern hemisphere to be tilted towards the sun. This results in longer days and shorter nights in the southern hemisphere during this time of the year. Conversely, the northern hemisphere experiences its shortest daytime and longest nighttime in December.
WHAT DOES A BUTTER FLIES DO IN COOLER DAYS?
Butterflys have short lives, several days usually. In cool weather they may survive but if it is too cold they will die.
Why is January a miserable month?
In the northern hemisphere it is dark and cold with short days and poor weather, so some people find that miserable. Others don't let that worry them. Some look at it positively, as it is a new year and days are lengthening. In the southern hemisphere, January is a summer month so less people find it miserable.
How many days are in the southern hemisphere?
61 days all of them
How many days are there in winter if you are in the southern hemisphere?
