Southern Hemisphere

Here is a simple definition of the "coriolis effect" from Wikipedia: Perhaps the most commonly encountered rotating reference frame is the Earth. Moving objects on the surface of the Earth experience a Coriolis force, and appear to veer to the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in the southern. Movements of air in the atmosphere and water in the ocean are notable examples of this behavior: rather than flowing directly from areas of high pressure to low pressure, as they would on a non-rotating planet, winds and currents tend to flow to the right of this direction north of the equator, and to the left of this direction south of the equator

Tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise with the exception of rare anticyclonic tornadoes.

Unfortunately, there is no one "most accurate" way to represent spherical geography on a flat piece of paper, or map.

All map projections distort area, shape, and distance in at least part of the map, while having some accuracy of distance OR area OR shape in a selected area (usually the center parallel or meridians) of the map. The choice of projection is based on the intended use of the map. For example, Mercator projections are often still used for global navigation because, even though areas are grossly distorted, especially in the polar regions, all straight lines on such a map are of constant azimuth.

In the southern hemisphere, September 1st marks the beginning of spring because the seasons are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis. This means that while the northern hemisphere experiences spring in March, the southern hemisphere experiences it in September.

Summer in the southern hemisphere typically ends in February.

The earth is on an angle of 23.5 degrees. So one end of the planet is closer to the sun then the other. During the northern hemisphere's summer its is closest to the sun and the southern hemisphere is furthest from the sun.

Westerly winds in the Southern Hemisphere blow from the west towards the east, generally from the southwest to the northeast. These winds are a major component of the mid-latitude circulation patterns and play a significant role in influencing weather and climate in the region.

Some northern hemisphere stars can be seen from the southern hemisphere depending on the latitude. For example, Polaris, the North Star, cannot be seen from the southern hemisphere. However, stars like Vega and Capella can be visible from both hemispheres.

In the Southern Hemisphere, winds generally move in a clockwise direction around areas of high pressure and in a counterclockwise direction around areas of low pressure due to the Coriolis effect. This opposite direction is a result of the Earth's rotation.

In the southern hemisphere, winds in a high-pressure system usually circulate in a clockwise direction around the center of the system. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which deflects the wind to the right in the southern hemisphere.

The summer solstice, which falls around June 21 or 22, marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Before the summer solstice, the daylight period increases as the days lengthen, while after the summer solstice, the daylight period decreases as the days start to shorten.

The best-known constellation in the southern hemisphere is likely the Southern Cross, also known as Crux. It is a small but distinctive constellation that is visible in the southern skies from most locations in the Southern Hemisphere.

Yes, tornadoes in the southern hemisphere typically rotate counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect. This effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and influences the direction of rotation of weather systems in different hemispheres.

There is no such thing as a standard sundial.

For every different latitude (degrees north or south) the gnomon (the triangular shadow making bit) has to be cut differently.

If you live 30 degrees south, cut the gnomon to a 30 degree angle. Set up the sundial so the sharp end of the gnomon is pointing exactly North. The easiest way is to just twist the assembled sundial until it shows the right time.

If you want to be as accurate as possible you need to take longitude and time of year into consideration as well, but as most sundials are simply ornaments, that detail is not given.

Summer in the southern hemisphere begins in December.

In the southern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect does influence the rotation of large-scale weather patterns, but it is too weak to affect the direction in which a toilet flushes. The direction a toilet flushes is primarily determined by the design of the toilet and the angle of the water jets.

Because the Earth is tilted on its axis, so when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun (Summer, in the North) the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun (Winter, in the South) and vice versa.

Spain is not significantly closer to the sun than England. The distance to the sun is measured in millions of kilometers, and the difference in distance between Spain and England is negligible in comparison. Any variation in temperature or climate between the two countries is due to other factors such as latitude, altitude, and proximity to bodies of water.

The southern hemisphere has the least exposure to the sun during the winter solstice, which usually occurs around June 21st each year. This is when the South Pole is tilted the farthest away from the sun, resulting in the shortest day and longest night of the year in the southern hemisphere.

In the southern hemisphere, the December solstice occurs around December 21st. This is known as the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere and marks the longest day of the year with the shortest night, as it is when the sun reaches its highest position in the sky.

The southern hemisphere experiences the least exposure to the sun during its winter solstice, around June 21st each year. This is when the South Pole is tilted furthest away from the sun, resulting in shorter days and less direct sunlight.

Surface currents in the Southern Hemisphere are deflected due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the rotation of the Earth. In the Southern Hemisphere, this deflection causes currents to flow clockwise around high-pressure systems and counterclockwise around low-pressure systems. This deflection influences the direction and path of surface currents in the ocean.

The southernmost point on Earth is the geographic South Pole, located in Antarctica.

About 32% of the Earth's total landmass is located in the southern hemisphere.
