Why are the temperatures in the lower atmosphere rising?

Because all the warm air is rising and traveling to the colder spots in the northern hemisphere.


What effect does an aphelion have in each hemisphere?

It doesn't, really, much. The effect of apsis is completely swamped by the effect of axial tilt. I believe that southern hemisphere summers tend to be hotter, and southern hemisphere winters colder, than corresponding latitudes in the northern hemisphere due to the date of apsis (early January). But I don't know for certain that this is true.


What weather comes after autumn?

Winter typically comes after autumn, characterized by colder temperatures, snowfall in many regions, and shorter days. Winter officially begins with the winter solstice, which is around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere.


Is north colder or warmer?

Generally, the north is colder than the south, especially in the context of the Northern Hemisphere, where temperatures tend to decrease as you move towards the Arctic regions. This is due to the angle of sunlight and the Earth's curvature, which causes northern areas to receive less direct sunlight. However, local climates can vary, and certain northern regions may experience warmer temperatures than some southern areas depending on factors like geography and weather patterns.


For us in the Northern hemisphere winter days are generally cold because?

the Earth's axis is tilted away from the sun during winter, causing sunlight to hit the Northern Hemisphere at a more oblique angle. This results in less direct sunlight and shorter days, leading to colder temperatures. Additionally, the cold air masses from the Arctic region play a role in bringing cold temperatures during winter.

Why it is colder in December than in April?

Because Earth makes more distance from Sun.


Why does it get cold in December and hot in July?

The Earth's tilt on its axis causes the northern hemisphere to be tilted away from the sun in December, making it receive less direct sunlight and resulting in colder temperatures. In July, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, leading to more direct sunlight and warmer temperatures.


Why does south America get longer hours of daylight in December than in the UK?

UK is in the northern hemisphere while south Africa is in the southern hemisphere. during december the suns rays fall directly on the southern hemisphere while northern hemisphere gets slant rays hence UK is colder in december than Africa.


Are you tilted toward or away from the sun in February?

This depends on whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere. The southern hemisphere has its summer solstice (the longest day of the year) in December: after that, the southern hemisphere gradually begins to tilt away from the sun, while the northern hemisphere begins to tilt more towards the sun as it moves beyond winter.


What bird 6 months live in southern hemisphere and 6 months in northern hemisphere?

Migratory birds like Bar-tailed Godwits, Northern Pintails live in the southern hemisphere while it is summer. When winter starts, they start flying towards northern hemisphere and spend whole winter here where it is less colder than southern hemisphere.


Why is the northern hemisphere cold?

It's no colder than any other hemisphere (on average)


Why is December colder in December colder in the northern hemisphere than June?

i am not sure why don't u just help ur self or if u don't understand it ask ur teacher It is because the northern hemisphere tilts further back from the sun in December, meaning that the sun is much lower in the sky (even at noon), and less time for the sun to warm us up due to the shortened days.


What effect does the hemisphere have on the seasons?

The hemisphere you are in (northern or southern) has an effect on when you experience the seasons. At points in the earth's orbit it is either the southern or northern hemisphere that is tilted further towards the sun. This makes that hemisphere warmer, experiencing summer while the other colder and experiences winter. Then six months later, things are reversed.


Which position on earth represents the first day of summer in the northern hemisphere?

every time earth turns around the more it gets more colder and warmer


Is south Africa colder in august or December?

of course. like every place on the southern hemisphere.


Why does your friend have to pack a winter coat when she is in the southern hemisphere and she wants to go to the northern hemisphere?

It is colder in the northern hemisphere and the seasons are opposite. So, while it is summertime in the southern hemisphere where your friend lives, it would be snowing in the northern hemisphere. Therefore, you'd need a jacket.


What happen in southern hemisphere when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun?

the Southern Hemisphere got colder because it's away from the sun.
