Why are satellite TV dishes in the northern hemisphere pointed south and in the Southern Hemisphere pointed North?

Satellite TV dishes in the Northern Hemisphere are typically pointed south because the satellites that provide the TV signals are positioned over the equator. In the Southern Hemisphere, the dishes are pointed north for the same reason, as the satellites are still positioned over the equator but appear to be in the northern part of the sky from that perspective.

If the earth stopped revolving when the northern hemisphere was pointed towards the sun would you have longer nights or days?

All you would have is a day where the Northern Hemisphere was pointed at the sun. The side opposite would be in permanent night. it would have nothing to do with Hemispheres but with which side is pointed to the sun. Alternate: If by 'pointed towards' you mean at the same angle as the current tilt, then the answer would be a little different. But the answer would depend on where you are. Or are you one of the many who assume that the northern hemisphere is the only one? If you are in the northern hemisphere, you would have longer daytime periods than night. It would be opposite in the southern hemisphere.

The hemisphere tilted towards the Sun during the summer solstice is the Northern Hemisphere. This tilt causes the North Pole to be tilted towards the Sun, leading to longer days and warmer temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere during this time of the year.


What season of the year in the northern hemisphere is the earth closest in its approach to the sun?

Earth is at perihelion (closest approach to the sun) in early January. This is pretty close to the dead of winter in the northern hemisphere, not the spring or fall.
