Would the northern hemisphere still be in winter when earth is closest to the sun in 13000 years?

No, the Earth's distance from the sun does not affect the seasons. The tilt of the Earth's axis is the primary reason for the seasons. In 13,000 years, the Northern Hemisphere will still experience winter when it is tilted away from the sun.


What layer of earth can be 13000 degrees?

With present scientific understanding of Earth's structure, no physical layer of the Earth exists at that temperature. However, this temperature could be reached and exceeded on the surface of the crust upon impact with a large, fast-moving asteroid.


Why does sand turn to glass when struck by lightning?

What hurricane has lasted the longest?

The current record is Hurricane John in 1994. John started as a tropical wave of the coast of Africa and was followed into the Pacific ocean. There in the Eastern Pacific off the coast of Mexico, it turned into a hurricane and reached Catagory five before going into the Western Pacific then turning into a Typhoon. Typhoon John then did a oval track before returning into the Central Pacific. It traveled over 13000 Km (making it the second "farthest traveled") and lasted as a tropical storm/hurricane/typhoon for 31 days making it the "Longest Duration Hurricane/Typhoon"
