Southern Hemisphere

Yes, the Southern Cross is a prominent constellation that is visible from the southern hemisphere. It is best seen from locations near the equator between March and September.

Objects in the Southern Hemisphere curve to the left due to the Coriolis effect. This is because the Earth's rotation causes a deflection to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This is the opposite of the deflection in the Northern Hemisphere, where objects curve to the right.

No.

The Sun is always above the horizon somewhere in the Southern hemisphere just as it always is above the horizon somewhere in the Northern hemisphere. About half of each hemisphere is illuminated at every instant (well more of the Southern hemisphere is illuminated from the end of September to the end of March and more of the Northern hemisphere during the other half year).

Antarctica and Australia are the two continents that lie entirely in the Southern Hemisphere.

In the Southern Hemisphere, a compass needle still points towards magnetic north but behaves slightly differently due to the Earth's magnetic field. It may not align perfectly with true north as it does in the Northern Hemisphere. Additionally, the south-seeking end of the compass needle may technically point towards the geographic South Pole.

Cetus is located in the celestial sphere, and therefore can be seen from both the northern and southern hemispheres. However, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere due to its position near the celestial equator.

The northern and southern Hemispheres each consist of a range of 90 degrees

of latitude. They meet at the equator ... it's the boundary between them. There's

no gap between them at the equator, so if you wanted to, you could go to the

equator and stand with one foot in each hemisphere. Each hemisphere is shaped

like ... like ... like a hemisphere. That's like half of a grapefruit. Their edges fit together

to make a complete sphere, and the distance between them at their edges, as well

as the angle between them, is zero.

No, the sun appears to move from east to west regardless of the hemisphere you are in. The direction in which the sun rises and sets is consistent around the world due to the Earth's rotation on its axis.

Yes, air circulates globally in the atmosphere, so some air from the northern hemisphere can reach the southern hemisphere within a year. This circulation is part of the Earth's atmospheric dynamics and plays a role in transporting heat and moisture around the planet.

No, the southern constellations are not more modern than the northern constellations. Constellations have been observed and documented for thousands of years, with many originating from ancient civilizations. The division between southern and northern constellations is based on the hemisphere from which they are seen, not on their age or historical significance.

Yes, there are several constellations visible in both hemispheres, known as circumpolar constellations. Examples include Ursa Major (Big Dipper) and Orion. These constellations can be seen year-round from various locations on Earth.

Scorpio is most visible in the southern hemisphere during the winter months, approximately from May to July. It can be spotted in the southern sky, particularly in the early evening.

A larger rapidly spinning storm that originates over an ocean in the southern hemisphere is called a tropical cyclone. It is known as a hurricane or typhoon in other parts of the world.

Summer occurs in the northern hemisphere when that hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, receiving more direct sunlight and longer days. At the same time, the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, experiencing winter due to less direct sunlight and shorter days. This tilt of the Earth's axis causes opposite seasons in the two hemispheres.

Yes, Venezuela is located in the northern hemisphere. It is situated in South America, and its geographical coordinates place it entirely in the northern half of the Earth.

People in the southern hemisphere often use the Southern Cross constellation to help determine the direction of south. This constellation is easily identifiable and can be used as a navigational tool since its orientation can point towards the south pole.

When the sun moves from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere, it marks the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere and autumn in the southern hemisphere. This transition is known as the vernal equinox in March. It results in longer days and shorter nights in the northern hemisphere.

In the northern hemisphere, winds associated with a low-pressure system blow counterclockwise around the center of the low-pressure system.

Toilets do not turn counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect influences large-scale weather patterns, such as winds and ocean currents, but it is too weak to affect the direction in which water drains in a toilet. The direction in which a toilet drains is primarily determined by the design of the bowl and the direction in which the water is initially moving.

Polaris, the North Star, is located near the North Celestial Pole which is visible only from the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, there is no bright star close to the South Celestial Pole like Polaris because the South Celestial Pole does not have a similarly positioned bright star. Therefore, observers in the Southern Hemisphere cannot see Polaris due to its location in the sky.

The southern hemisphere experiences the most direct sunlight during the December solstice, also known as the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere. This is when the South Pole is tilted towards the Sun, causing longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures in the southern hemisphere.

The gray wolf, canis lupus isn't native to the southern hemisphere. There are close relatives of the wolf, such as the Jackal that have some representatives who live in the Serengeti. (2 degrees south of the equator)

Other cannids, such as the Maned wolf do live in the southern hemisphere, and have been found as far south as the Falklands (Malvinas)

The last day of summer in the northern hemisphere is typically September 22nd or 23rd. This is known as the autumnal equinox, when daylight and darkness are nearly equal in length.

Some of the constellations visible in the southern hemisphere include Crux (the Southern Cross), Centaurus, Scorpius, and Carina. These constellations are not visible or are low on the horizon from the northern hemisphere.
