Southern Hemisphere

January is summer in the southern hemisphere. Likewise, July is winter.

The seasons are reversed in the two hemispheres because the Sun can only shine more directly on either the Northern or Southern hemispheres (creating summer), due to the axial tilt of the Earth.

The northern hemisphere has summer when it is tilted towards the sun, typically from June to August, while the southern hemisphere has summer when it is tilted towards the sun, typically from December to February. This difference in seasons is due to the Earth's axial tilt and its orbit around the sun.

Summer is when the sun is most direct over a hemisphere. It alternates between hemispheres because the earth's axis (the line between the earth's north and south poles about which the earth spins) is tilted (not perfectly perpendicular) relative to the earth-sun plane, and as the earth revolves (or orbits) around the Sun, the tilt presents cycling points toward the sun.

The main difference between the northern and southern hemispheres is their location relative to the equator. The northern hemisphere is located north of the equator, while the southern hemisphere is located south of the equator. This difference in positioning affects the climate, seasons, and the direction of rotational forces such as the Coriolis effect.

This occurs because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. When the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it experiences summer, while the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun and experiences winter. This tilt causes each hemisphere to receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year, resulting in opposite seasons.

The southern hemisphere experiences opposite seasons from the northern hemisphere. For example, when it is winter in the northern hemisphere, it is summer in the southern hemisphere. So, the current season in the southern hemisphere depends on the time of year.

The direction in which water drains from a sink is mainly determined by the sink's shape and any residual motion. The Coriolis effect, influenced by the Earth's rotation, is too weak to influence the direction of water draining in sinks. Therefore, it is a myth that water drains in different directions in the northern and southern hemispheres.

The southern hemisphere is currently experiencing summer.

The Earth is closer to the Sun by about 3 million miles (5 million km) in January than in July. This would seem to make the summer temperatures hotter in the Southern Hemisphere (and the winters colder). However, this is only true of localized regions. Most of the Southern hemisphere is water, which does not increase in temperature as much as land. The maritime climates of the Southern hemisphere are often cooler during their summer than summer in the continental areas of the Northern hemisphere.

The Southern Hemisphere has more ocean than the Northern Hemisphere, which acts as a heat sink, moderating the temperature variations. In the Southern Hemisphere, the distribution of land and water is more uniform, leading to smaller temperature fluctuations. The presence of the Antarctic ice sheet also helps stabilize temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere.

The sun is overhead the Tropic of Capricorn areas in the Southern Hemisphere around December 21st, during the December solstice. This is when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Capricorn, resulting in the longest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere.

Higher average surface densities are found in the Southern Hemisphere due to the presence of extensive ocean basins and the Southern Hemisphere having less landmass compared to the Northern Hemisphere. This results in a larger proportion of the Southern Hemisphere being covered by water, leading to higher average surface densities in that region.

They are different because of tilt of the earth on its axis

The point farthest north on Earth is the North Pole, located at approximately 90 degrees north latitude. The point farthest south on Earth is the South Pole, located at approximately 90 degrees south latitude.

Water flows in both directions regardless of hemisphere.

In Physics, there is the Coriolis Effect that describes the flow/movement of water due to a variety of factors, and this is sometimes used to add validity to the myth, but the Coriolis Effect does not occur in small bodies of water such as a sink or toilet. The direction of water flow in a a sink or toilet depends on the direction that the water flows into the sink or toilet -- regardless of hemisphere.

You can test this yourself by pouring a pitcher of water from the left side of a sink and then from the right side, you will see that the water will flow accordingly -- this experiment will have the same result in Sydney, Australia as it will in London, England.

December 21st, at the very same moment as the winter solstice in the north.

The most southerly point on Earth is the geographic South Pole. It is located at 90 degrees south latitude, making it the southernmost point on the planet.

Geographers often study the Eastern and Western Hemispheres more because these hemispheres contain a greater percentage of the world's population, major cultural and economic centers, and historical significance. Additionally, the Eastern and Western Hemispheres are often interconnected through trade, politics, and global connections, making them crucial areas of study for understanding global dynamics.

The Equator is the imaginary line halfway between the North and South Poles and is at zero degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into North and South Hemispheres. The Sun appears directly above the Equator at the Autumn and Spring equinox.

The Prime Meridian based on Greenwich, England, is at 0 degrees longitude and all other meridians are "X" degrees east or west of it. The Prime Meridian was established for navigation and is the basis on which International time is kept.

The International Date line is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian and is the point which seperates yesterday from today. The line was drawn by international agreement, and was skillfully drawn so as not to cross any land to keep all areas of a country in the same day (and time zone). There are few bends and kinks in the International Date line to achieve this, but if it was a straight line, it would generally be at 180 degrees E or W longitude.

The Prime Meridian and the International Date Line are the two lines that separate the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

The Tropic of Capricorn is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the southern Summer Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Tropic Zone.

Water makes up the vast majority of the surface of the Southern Hemisphere.

Only about 10% of the southern hemisphere is land (South America, Australia, Antarctica, southern Africa). The oceans of the southern hemisphere are the South Atlantic, South Pacific, Indian, and Southern. They contain around 70% of the world's seawater.

In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean currents generally move in a clockwise direction, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they move in an anti-clockwise direction. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation and influences the direction of moving objects.

The equator divides the Earth North to South.

The united states is in the northern and western and eastern (Alaska sits either side of the 180o meridian) hemispheres.

Africa ,Europe, Asia,north america,are all in the northern hemisphere.
