What is the season when the earth is farthest from the sun in the southern hemisphere?

That is true. The orbit of the Earth around the sun is ellipitical, and the Earth is farthest from the sun on July 4th. This is slightly ironic, since that is when the northern hemisphere has the warmest weather. But the axial tilt has a greater effect than the variation in distance from the sun (which is only a minor variation).

What would the season be if the sun id facing the earth?
The sun is always 'facing' the earth. If the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the season is summer, in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere.
The northern hemisphere experiences winter when the earth is farthest from the sun?
The northern hemisphere does not experience winter when the Earth is farthest from the sun.The cause of the seasons is the Earth's axial tilt, which is independent of the apsides of Earth's orbit, known as aphelion and perihelion.When Earth is farthest from the sun, it is at aphelion. Aphelion currently occurs in July, which is the Northern Hemisphere's summer.
What is responsible for earth's season?
The earth rotating on its axis. When the northern hemisphere is facing the sun it is summer. In the southern it is winter.
Why is January a winter month in the northern hemisphere but a summer month in the Southern Hemisphere?
It's all about the tilt of earth's axis. In January, earth's tilt brings the Southern Hemisphere to an angle where it gets more direct rays from the sun; the sun rises to its highest elevations in the southern sky. It doesn't have much to do with distance from the sun. In fact, during the cold season in the northern hemisphere, the earth is a little closer to the sun than it is during the north's warm season.
Is it true of false that the northern hemisphere experiences winter when earth is farthest from the sun?
No,it hits the southern hemisphere directly in the winter of the northern hemisphere. Otherwise it would be summertime in the northern hemisphere. -Monicalovesu
What hemisphere of the earth experience opposite season?
The Northern and Southern Hemisphere
What is the season in southern hemisphere of earth of earth when it is summer in northern hemisphere?
Winter-
What season is earth's southern hemisphere?
it is spring
Earth orbiting the sun what season would be in the southern hemisphere?
All four seasons happen in the southern hemisphere, as Earth orbits the sun.
What would the season be if the sun id facing the earth?
The sun is always 'facing' the earth. If the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the season is summer, in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere.
How many days are there in winter for the southern hemisphere?
The average length of the southern hemisphere winter, or the average time from the June solstice to the September equinox, is about 93 days, 15 hours and 42 minutes. It is the longest season of the year because the earth's orbital speed is slowest when the earth is farthest from the sun, which occurs in early July.
When Earth is closer to the Sun during the year what season is it?
It is spring-summer in the southern hemisphere, and autumn-winter in the northern hemisphere.
The south end of earth's axis is tilted toward the sun in?
Southern Hemisphere's summer season.
Why is the season in the northern hemisphere different from southern hemisphere?
This is caused by the difference in position of the earth's tilt to the sun. When the northern hemisphere is tilting towards the sun (summer), the southern hemisphere is tilting away from it (winter) and vice-versa.
