Is one of the four temperate seasons. Autumn marks the transition from summer into winter, in September (Northern Hemisphere) or March (Southern Hemisphere) when the arrival of night becomes noticeably earlier.Mabuhay ang Pilipinas or live the Philippines....By: Nassif A.

The southern hemisphere is currently experiencing summer.
It is winter in the northern hemisphere when the southern hemisphere tilts toward the sun. Interestingly enough, the Earth is closer to the Sun at that time! The (slight - 0.0167 ) eccentricity of the Earths orbit puts this planet at aphelion (furthest from the Sun) in the beginning of July and perihelion (closest to the Sun) in the beginning of January. This is one of the many factors that makes the Southern hemisphere seasons more extreme than those of the northern hemisphere.

Perihelion, the point in Earth's orbit when it is closest to the Sun, occurs around January 3 each year. This event affects both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres simultaneously, as it is determined by Earth's orbital mechanics rather than seasonal changes. While perihelion occurs during winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is important to note that this proximity to the Sun does not significantly impact seasonal temperatures.
No New Zealand Glacier is the longest in the southern hemisphere. Brüggen Glacier, also known as Pío XI Glacier, is in southern Chile and, currently at 64km long, is the longest glacier in the southern hemisphere, apart from those in Antarctica. The longest glacier in New Zealand is the Tasman Glacier, currently 27 km long.

It is NOT the June solstice, as some may assume. It is a few days later. This year it was, I believe, July 4. After that point, the earth began to accelerate and will continue to do so until it reaches perihelion in early January. The solstice has to do with the tilt of the earth's axis, and our farthest approach to the sun, aphelion, has to do with the eliptical shape of our orbit around the sun. These two things are independent, and we happen to be living at a time when the solstices are very close to aphelion and perihelion. Nothing requires that earth's axial tilt must have a certain orientation to our orbit. In fact, they are moving relative to each other all the time as a result of what is called precession.

At aphelion, Earth receives 6.9% less of the solar radiation than at perihelion. Aphelion happens around July 4, so this means slightly cooler summers for the Northern Hemisphere and slightly cooler winter for the Southern Hemisphere..
