What percentage of land is in the northern hemisphere?
The Northern hemisphere is about 60.7% water and 39.3% land. The Southern hemisphere is about 80.9% water and 19.1% land.
Why does the heat equator move farther into the Northern Hemisphere in July than it moves into the Southern Hemisphere in January?
There is more land surface in the Northern Hemisphere and land has a lower specific heat than water therefore warming faster than the vast oceans of the Southern Hemisphere.
How do the seasons differ in the northern and southern hemispheres of earth?
The seasons are reversed, AND the flow of water is reversed. When flushing a toilet in the northern hemisphere, the water goes down clockwise. When flushing a toilet in the southern hemisphere, the water goes down counterclockwise.
Why are average summer temperatures in the southern hemisphere cooler than average summer temperatures in the northern hemisphere?
Probably because the southern hemisphere has more water than the northern hemisphere. It takes more heat to raise a given mass of water a certain number of degrees than to raise the same mass of any other substance the same number of degrees.
Why is the southern hemisphere warmer than the northern hemisphere?
No, the northern hemisphere summer is hotter when you look at the planetary average. The reason is that there is more land in the northern hemisphere and when the sunlight hits the land it bounces off and heats up the air much more than when sunlight hits water. So whichever side with more land will have a hotter average summer, in the earth's case, by about 4 degrees Fahrenheit. On the other hand, the amount of water in your local environment has a much greater influence on the heat of your summer than which hemisphere you're in.
