When does the northern hemisphere have summer?

June, July and August. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.


What season is it when the earths northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun?

If the northern axis or North Pole is tilted directly towards the sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. If your talking about the angle of the planet when the Northern Hemisphere is receiving direct rays, its summer. If you are asking what the Northern Hemisphere season it is when planet Earth is closest to the Sun, it's winter.


How are seasons in the northern hemisphere related to the seasons in the Southern Hemisphere?

It is winter in the northern hemisphere when it tilts away from the sun, and summer in the southern hemisphere when it tilts towards the sun. It is this tilting that creates the seasons.


When the North Pole points away from the sun what season is it in the Northern hemisphere?

When the North Pole points away from the sun, it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. This is because during that time, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, resulting in shorter days and cooler temperatures.


Is the US tilted more toward the sun during the winter?

No. The Northern Hemisphere (which the United States is in) axial tilt is the farthest from our Sun, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. During that same time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, and it is summer time in the Southern Hemisphere.

Where does the sun rise in the northern hemisphere in January in Florida?

Regardless of whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere, the sun always rises south of east (and sets south of west) from September-March and the sun rises north of east (and sets north of west) from March-September. So in January, wherever you are, the sun will rise in the south-east.


If it is winter in the northern hemisphere which hemisphere is getting more of the sun's radiation?

If it is winter in the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere will get more of the sun's radiation.

Is the sun below the northern horizon or the southern horizon at midnight in the Northern Hemisphere?

The sun is below the northern horizon at midnight in the Northern Hemisphere.


When the southern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun what season is it in the northern hemisphere?

It is Winter in the northern hemisphere.


Northern hemisphere what direction does the sun rise?

The sun rises in the east, same as in the northern hemisphere. The sun rising is a function of the planet's rotation, which is the same universally. The difference in seasons between the northern and southern hemispheres is a function of the Earth's tilt, and the changes in what areas face the sun more strongly depending on what point the Earth is in it's orbit around the sun.


When sitting on a beach does the sun appear over the sea in the southern hemisphere and appear over land in the northern hemisphere?

It depends where you are. It is possible to sit on a beach facing east and watch the sun rise over the sea in the northern and southern hemispheres. Similarly if you sit on a beach on the west coast of anywhere the sun will rise over the land and set into the sea.


When the northern hemisphere points toward the sun what season is it?

it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere.


Does the sun rise in the southern hemisphere first?

No. The Sun is always above the horizon somewhere in the Southern hemisphere just as it always is above the horizon somewhere in the Northern hemisphere. About half of each hemisphere is illuminated at every instant (well more of the Southern hemisphere is illuminated from the end of September to the end of March and more of the Northern hemisphere during the other half year).


Which hemisphere is tilted toward the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere?

The southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere. This is because Earth's axis is tilted, causing the opposite hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight during winter in the northern hemisphere.
