The 'equinoxes' occur in March and September. At those times, neither pole is tilted

toward or away from the sun.

At the time of the June solstice, the north pole reaches its maximum tilt toward

the sun, whereas at the time of the December solstice, the south pole is at its

maximum tilt toward the sun.

When it is summer at the South Pole what happens?

the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres are tilted toward the Sun, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, and the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.


In winter does the Southern Hemisphere south end of Earths axis is tilted away from the sun?

Yes, in winter, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun. This tilt results in shorter daylight hours and lower solar angle, leading to cooler temperatures. Consequently, countries in the Southern Hemisphere experience winter during the months of June to August.


When is the South Pole rotated away from the Sun is it on June 21?

The South Pole begins its rotation away from the sun on March 21, and on June 21, it changes course and begins its rotation toward the sun.


What is the farthest point south o the earths surface?

south pole


How does the south pole have 24 hours of dayligt?

The Earth is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit, so that only on the equinox days (usually March 20 and September 23) do both poles experience a short period when both can have sun. The pole that is angled away from the Sun will have no daylight, while the one angled toward the Sun will have continual daylight -- although the Sun just circles the horizon and never goes very high into the sky. So from around September 23 to March 20, the South Pole has 6 months of daylight, 24 hours a day. The exact length is about 4383 hours.

How the tilt of earths axis and earths movement around the sun cause seasons?

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
