The sun's maximum excursion south ... roughly 23.5 degrees ... is the point in the sky called the "Winter solstice". The moment when the sun is at that point marks the beginning of Winter in the northern hemisphere. In 2009, that'll be at approx. 1800 GMT on December 21. (I'm not sure but I think the calendar date can vary a day either way from December 21 ... because of the calendar, not the sun.)

Which line is closer to the equator 30N or 15S?
25 degrees south (or north) is closer to the equator that 30 degrees north (or south).This has a lot to do with the mathematical fact that 25 is less than 30.The equator is the 'zero' of latitude; 'north' and 'south' start from it.
Is 20 degrees Southe closer to the equator or is 10 degrees north?
The "north" and "south" latitude references begin at the equator. So "20 degrees" north or south are both 20 degrees from the equator, and "10 degrees" north or south are both 10 degrees from the equator. 10 is closer to the equator than 20.
Is 60 degrees N closer to the equator than 50 degrees S?
No.Latitude (the north/south measurement) begins at the equator.So 50 degrees north is 50 degrees from the equator,and 40 degrees south is 40 degrees from the equator.Now can you tell which one is closer to the equator ?
What is lower -12 degrees Celsius or -10 degrees Celsius?
-12 degrees Celsius is lower than -10 degrees Celsius.
How many degrees from 60 degrees north is the Equator?
Sixty degrees north is 60 degrees away from the Equator.
What is closer to the equator 64 degrees north latitude 76 degrees west longitude or 22 degrees south latitude 88 degrees west longitude?
The second one, 22°S 88°W, is closer to the equator than 64°N 76°W The lower latitudes are closer to the equator. (0° latitude)

Is ninety degrees north closer to the equator than forty degrees south?
No, 40 degrees south latitude is closer to the equator than 90 degrees north latitude. All latitude originates from the equator, so as the number increases, the further it is away from the equator, regardless of north or south.
Is 60 degrees N closer to the equator than 50 degrees S?

What temperature is 20 degrees lower than 6 degrees?
20 degrees lower than 6 degrees is -14 degrees.
What temperature is 15 degrees lower than seven degrees celcius?
265.15 degrees Kelvin is 15 degrees Celsius lower than seven degrees Celsius.
What is lower -12 degrees Celsius or -10 degrees Celsius?
-12 degrees Celsius is lower than -10 degrees Celsius.
How many degrees from 60 degrees north is the Equator?
Sixty degrees north is 60 degrees away from the Equator.
Why cannot see all constellations?
If you were on the Equator you would see all of them. Otherwise it depends where you live. I live in New Zealand at latitude 35° S. So I can't see any northern stars closer than 35° to the North Celestial Pole. If you live in the north at say 35°N, then you wouldn't see those stars which are closer than 35° to the South Celestial Pole.
What temperature is 20 degrees lower than nine degrees Celsius?
-3 degrees Celsius, or 26.6 degrees Fahrenheit
Is a person closer to the equator in Argentina or southern Spain?
People in most of Argentina are closer to the equator than people in southern Spain. Spain is between 37 and 43 degrees north of the equator. Only 20% of Argentina is more than 37 degrees south of the equator.
