Why does air not move straight north or south because of what?

Air does not move straight north or south due to the Coriolis effect, which is a result of the Earth's rotation. This effect causes moving air masses to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in curved paths rather than straight north or south movement.


Where is the sun in the autumnal equinox?

Exactly straight over the equator. It's a tiny bit north of the equator just before the Autumnal Equinox, and a tiny bit south of the equator just after it. In other words, the sun is 'moving' south. At the Vernal Equinox, it's also precisely over the equator, but 'moving' north.

Which way would the needle point if you were at the magnetic north pole?

If only allowed to pivot in a horizontal plane, it would wander aimlessly. If also allowed to deflect vertically, it would point straight down into the ground.


How can you tell which way a front is moving?

You can tell which way a front is moving by observing the direction in which the clouds are moving. In the Northern Hemisphere, if clouds are moving from south to north, it indicates a warm front moving north. If clouds are moving from north to south, it indicates a cold front moving south. Reverse these directions for the Southern Hemisphere.
