What do you call a tornado that spins a other way?

A tornado that spins in the opposite direction is known as an anticyclonic tornado. These tornadoes are rare and rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

What way does the tornado wind blow?

The winds in a tornado spin, so the wind itself can come from any direction. Except for rare cases, tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.


Which way do winds turn in the southern hemisphere?

Winds in the Southern Hemisphere generally turn clockwise due to the Coriolis effect, which is the deflection of moving objects to the right in the Southern Hemisphere caused by the Earth's rotation. This means that winds tend to flow in a clockwise direction around high-pressure systems and in a counterclockwise direction around low-pressure systems.

Yes, there are more visible stars in the southern hemisphere than in the northern hemisphere because the southern hemisphere has fewer large cities and less light pollution, which allows for better visibility of stars. Additionally, the southern hemisphere has the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which contains more stars than the outer regions where the northern hemisphere is situated.


Would the tropic of Capricorn be found in the southern hemisphere or northern hemisphere?

My brother asked why Australia has winter when we in Canada have summer. How would I explain this to him?

Canada is in the Northern Hemisphere (northern half of the Earth), and Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere (southern). The seasons are opposite in the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere due to the way the Earth is tilted as it orbits around the Sun.


Why do the southern and the northern hemisphere have oppisote seasons?

The reason the two hemispheres have opposite seasons is because of the way the earth tips during the seasons. During summer your hemisphere will be tipped toward the sun in turn the other hemisphere will be tipped away in winter and vice-versa.
