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).
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. For more detail, check out NASA's explanation below.
When it is summer season in India why it is winter season in Australia?
India is in the Northern Hemisphere. Australia is in the Southern hemisphere. The Earth's axis has a 23.5 degree tilt. So on December 21st, the Southern Hemisphere is closest to the Sun, while the Northern Hemisphere is closest to the Sun on June 22nd.
Which group of islands in the Caribbean experience relief rainfall?
The Greater Antilles
Why Lucknow has a greater range of temperature than thiruvananthapuram?
because it is near the cost
What is the reason the annual temperature range at most latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere is much smaller than that in the Northern Hemisphere?
there is a greater percentage of water surface in the southern hemisphere
Why does the southern hemisphere have smaller annual temperature variations than the northern hemisphere?
The water ranges are greater
What hemisphere is most covered in water?
A greater proportion of the Southern hemisphere is covered with water than the Northern hemisphere.
Is the temperature of sun's surface in summer is greater than in winter?
The seasonal effect is localized to the planet earth i.e. northern hemisphere is in summer, while southern hemisphere is in winter and vice versa. It has nothing to do with the solar surface.
Does the northern southern hemisphere have more land.?
The northern hemisphere by a large margin has the most land and the greater land - to - ocean ratio. The 4 largest countries on earth, Russia, Canada, USA and China are all in the northern hemisphere which helps.
What is the biggest suburban library in southern hemisphere?
The City of Greater Dandenong Library in Melbourne, Australia is considered the largest suburban library in the Southern Hemisphere. It covers an area of 7,000 square meters and houses a vast collection of books, digital resources, and community spaces for various activities and programs.
Do all parts of the earth receive equal amount of heat energy?
no When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere and vice versa.
Does the northern or southern hemisphere have more land?
The Northern Hemisphere has much more land than the southern. About 7/8 of the world's land area is in the Northern Hemisphere.Even the Land Hemisphere (half of Earth's surface containing the maximum land area) is still slightly more than half water. Oceans cover 70% of Earth's surface.
Why did the new England states experience a greater level of industrialization than other states?
because new England was part of the southern states. new England supported the southern sates and cared. so ya.
Why are there more craters in the northern hemisphere?
There is greater land mass in the northern hemisphere. Therefore, there is a larger target for them to hit.
What is a true statement that explains why the the temperature are lower in December?
The earth slants away from the sun in the winter so that in the Northern hemisphere , the sun's rays are spread over a greater area, lowering the temperatures.
Why is a southern exposure generally the most satisfactory direction in solar-orienting a window wall?
This only applies in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere a northern exposure is desirable. The sun angle, or altitude, varies depending on the latitude. North of the equator, the higher the latitude, the more southerly the sun angle, therefore the greater the exposure to the sun from a southern oriented window. Conversely, in the latitudes south of the equator, thehigher the latitude, the more northerly the sun angle.
