When the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun what happens?
When the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, it experiences summer because more sunlight is focused on that region. This results in longer days and warmer temperatures. Conversely, when the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it experiences winter due to receiving less sunlight.
It's the beginning of Summer there.
How many customers does Southern Water have?

What bodies of water are located in the Southern Hemisphere?
Indian Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and the tropic of capricorn is located in the southern hemisphere.
How many days are there in winter for the southern hemisphere?
The average length of the southern hemisphere winter, or the average time from the June solstice to the September equinox, is about 93 days, 15 hours and 42 minutes. It is the longest season of the year because the earth's orbital speed is slowest when the earth is farthest from the sun, which occurs in early July.
It will still point more or less towards magnetic north. BUT the accuracy will change as you move great distances around the earth. So it does need to be adjusted.
What month does winter begin in the southern hemisphere?
Winter begins on or about June 21 in the southern hemisphere.

If it is winter in the Northern hemisphere explain why it is summer in the southern hemisphere?
During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the Earth is tilted away from the sun, causing colder temperatures. At the same time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, receiving more direct sunlight and experiencing summer. The Earth's axial tilt and its orbit around the sun cause these seasonal differences between the two hemispheres.
Why don't you feel movement when the earth is rotating?
You do not feel the Earth's rotation because its speed is constant and your body is moving along with it. Since you and everything around you are rotating at the same rate, there is no relative motion to cause a feeling of movement. Additionally, the Earth's rotation is very gradual, completing one full rotation every 24 hours.
In the northren hemisphere when does winter begin?
Astronomically, it starts with the winter solstice (around December 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and June 21 in the Southern Hemisphere), and ends with the spring equinox (around March 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and September 21 in the Southern Hemisphere). In meteorology, it is by convention counted instead as the whole months of June, July and August in the Southern Hemisphere and December, January and February in the Northern Hemisphere.
However, in the United Kingdom and Ireland the winter solstice is traditionally considered as midwinter, the winter season beginning November 1 on All Hallows or Samhain. Winter ends and spring begins on Imbolc or Candlemas, which is February 1 or 2. This system of seasons is based on the length of days exclusively. The three-month period of the shortest days and weakest solar radiation occurs during November, December and January in the Northern Hemisphere (May-July in the Southern).
In Chinese astronomy (and other East Asian calendars), winter is taken to commence on or around November 7, with the Jiéqì known as (立冬 lì dōng, literally "establishment of winter".)
In reality, the three-month period associated with the coldest average temperatures typically begins somewhere in late November or early December in the Northern Hemisphere. If "winter" is defined as the statistically coldest quarter of the year, then the astronomical definition is too late by almost all local climate standards, and the traditional English/Irish definition of November 1 (May 1 in the Southern Hemisphere) is almost always too early to fit this standard. No matter the recogning, winter is the only season that spans two calendar years in the northern hemisphere. (In other words, there are very few temperate climates in which the vernal equinox is on average colder than the winter solstice, and very few temperate climates in which Samhain is colder than Imbolc)"
Which oceans are found in both northern and southern hemisphere?
