Why would you never see a rainbow in the southern sky if you were in the northern hemisphere?
The diffraction of light from the
sun
to form a
rainbow
relies on the sun being behind the observer.
In general terms when you are in the northern hemisphere the sun is always south of you, even if its by a tiny amount, so the rainbow will always be north of you. This means you will not see a rainbow (caused by the sun) in the southern sky.
To be absolutely accurate however due to the axial tilt of the earth there is a zone near the
equator
where the sun is in fact slightly north of you for about half the year and you are still in the northern hemisphere (which comes from the position of the equator not the sun). In this zone it is possible so see a rainbow in the southern sky.

What season is it in the Southern himispere if the north pole is tilted towards the sun?
The north pole is never pointed directly at the sun ever. Doing so would eradicate the presence of the seasons; it would always be hot in the northern area and always cold in the southern parts.
In Australia why has it never snowed at Christmas?
In the Southern Hemisphere, it never snows on Christmas day since it is summer time. In the northern hemisphere near the equator, it is too warm. Christmas is also only at the start of winter in the northern hemisphere which is why you get more snowfall throughout January and February. as well it never snows because it only snows every time a leap year has come.
What month of the year does Ursa Minor come out?
If you live in the northern hemisphere, Ursa Minor can be seen in every month of the year. It is one of the constellations that never sets, so it can be seen all year round.If you live in the northern hemisphere, Ursa Minor can be seen in every month of the year.

Which of the planets known to the ancients can never be seen high overhead at midnight?
It depends where you are. Some planets can be seen overhead at different times at latitudes up to about 24 or 25 degrees, but at higher latitudes they are never overhead. They are highest in the sky at midnight in the winter. At that time they are passing through the constellations of Taurus and Gemini when seen from the northern hemisphere, or Ophiuchus and Sagittarius from the southern hemisphere. That applies to all eight planets.
What direction do winds almost never blow due to earths rotation and the Coriolis effect?
Due to Earth's rotation and the Coriolis effect, winds in the Northern Hemisphere generally curve to the right, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they curve to the left. This results in prevailing winds that predominantly blow from east to west in the tropics and from west to east in the mid-latitudes. As a result, winds almost never blow directly from the south to the north or vice versa.
What time of year is the Crux constellation visible in the northern hemisphere?
Never. Crux is a Southern Hemisphere constellation.
When does Hercules star constellation come to the southern hemisphere?
Hercules is a constellation of the Northern sky, the constellation does not change position and so will never come to the Southern hemisphere. To see everything astronomers need to visit countries in both the northern and southern hemisphere.
What are the dates for summer winter in Australia?
When the Northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the Southern hemisphere is tilted away and vice versa. It is this tilt that leads to the seasons. Since the Northern and Southern hemisphere cannot be tilted towards the sun at the same time, they can never have the same season at the same time.
Why the equator all year round is summer and it never experiences the four seasons?
. The equator position to the sun is fixed when compared to the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere positions
What is the hemisphere of Alaska?
Yes, Hawaii is in the northern hemisphere. I have never been the before, but I know it is because I learnt about it.
When is it summer in the southern hemisphere?

Is Pisces circumpolar?
Circumpolar constellations are those that, from the viewer's latitude, never set. Any constellation found in the zodiac is not circumpolar. These are seasonal. Pisces appears in the Spring in the Southern hemisphere and in Autumn in the Northern hemisphere.
When and what hemisphere is uras minor visible?
Ursa minor is visible in the northern hemisphere in the summer

Why is Antarctica cold even in summer?
It is winter and cold all year round at the poles [North & South Poles (Antarctica is located in the South)] due to the extreme angle the rays are shining at it unlike at the equator, where it is directly overhead. That is why it seems that the sun does not rise high into the sky or even rise at all! Its climate is exactly opposite of that at the equator's, where it is summer all year round and there is no winter (no snowing).Its always cold because its really far from the equator, which produces heat.
