Southern hemisphere


Northern hemisphere

Asked by bcd788927

Answer (1)

Answer:The Southern Hemisphere is getting more direct sunlight in January.This is due to the Earth's roughly 23.5-degree tilt on its axis. Because of its tilt toward the Sun in January, the Southern Hemisphere experiences longer days, more direct solar radiation, and summer. Shorter days, less direct sunlight, and winter result from the Northern Hemisphere's simultaneous tilt away from the Sun.To put it simply, picture the Earth as a swaying, spinning top. The Northern Hemisphere's "top" occasionally tilts in the direction of the Sun, while the Southern Hemisphere's "bottom" does the same. The "bottom" is tilting more toward the Sun in January.
