Is it true in December the shortest daytime is in the southern hemisphere?

Yes, it is true. In December, which is summer in the southern hemisphere, the tilt of the Earth causes the southern hemisphere to be tilted towards the sun. This results in longer days and shorter nights in the southern hemisphere during this time of the year. Conversely, the northern hemisphere experiences its shortest daytime and longest nighttime in December.

Why does the eastern hemisphere experience daytime while the western hemisphere experiences night?

Is it daytime in the southern hemisphere when it is nighttime in the northern hemisphere?

generally, no There are only a few days per year on which you can see the sun from the north pole and the south pole at the same time (due to the atmosphere bending the light like a lens). All along any line of longitude (the lines that go from pole to pole), local mean time is the same.


Why is it winter in australia when it is summer in the US?

Summer. North America is located in the northern hemisphere while Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, so the seasons are exactly opposite. A simple explanation would be using the Sun's position. When it is winter in North America, the Sun is shining at a lower angle, experiencing less sunlight (daytime). As such, the Sun would naturally be shining at a higher angle in Australia, experiencing summer, with longer daytime (more sunlight).

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.
