What is the southern hemisphere ?
459885
the southern hemishere is from the equator to the south pole and anything between that for example austrailia and antartica is two of the continents in the southern hemisphere.

Greenland was in the South Hemisphere \nSee the map in\nhttp://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/earth/past/geologic_time.html

The Prime Meridian (0 longitude) and the International Date Line (180 longitude) divide the hemispheres.

On it's axis I presume. I'm afraid it's not definitive at all:\n\n25 days at the equator\n27 days 35 degrees of latitude from the equator.\n33 days 75 degrees of latitude from the equator.\n\nThis is for the "surface" of the sun.

We know that North is 'this side up' because we MADE it that way.  It really was a matter of chance that we decided to make this side our North.  If we wanted to, however, the Southern hemisphere could just have easily been north (see the link).  But our regular map became the convention, instead.

They are far apart from one another!\nThey are cold! EXTREMELY COLD! brrrrrrrr \n\nThe South Pole is the southernmost point on the Earth.\nThe North Pole is the northernmost point on the Earth.\n\nThe Geographic South Pole is the one of two points where the earth's axis of rotation intersects the surface (the other being the Geographic North Pole). This is the point usually meant when an unspecified "south pole" is mentioned.\nThe Geographic North Pole, also known as True North, is close to the northern point at which the Earth's axis of rotation meets the surface. Geographic North defines latitude 90° North. In whichever direction you travel from here, you are always heading south. The pole is located in the Arctic Ocean. Classically (19th century) this pole was exactly where people believed the pole of rotation met the Earth's surface, but soon astronomers noticed a small apparent variation of latitude as determined for a fixed point on Earth by observing stars. This variation had a period of about 435 days and the periodic part of it is now called the Chandler wobble after its discoverer. It is desirable to tie the system of Earth coordinates (latitude, longitude, and elevations or orography) to fixed landforms. Of course, given continental drift and the rising and falling of land due to volcanos, erosion and so on, there is no system in which all geographic features are fixed. Yet the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service and the International Astronomical Union have defined a framework called the International Terrestrial Reference System that does an admirable job. The North pole of this system now defines geographic North and it does not quite coincide with the rotation axis. Also see polar motion.

Hope it helped!

Because you live in the Southern Hemisphere...In the Northern Hemisphere it goes the other way. Look up the term 'Coriolis effect' for more info.

The tilt of the earths axis is what gives the northern and southern hemisphere different seasons. when the northern hemisphere is inclined towards the sun its summer here (June), when the southern hemisphere is inclined towards the sun its winter here (Dec). In between these times its hottest at the equator!\n\nThe tilt of the earths axis changes over geological time though, so the seasons will inevitably change.

Yes, but to a degree. The horizon line is going to be different, so you will see some of the stars, although a bit displaced, that the Northern hemisphere sees, and you will see a lot more that is only visible to the Southern hemisphere.

Aurora Australis - Australis is the Latin word for "South" or "Southern", thus, the Southern Lights instead of the Northern Lights.

Anticyclones or high pressure systems are atmospheric circulations that rotate anti-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Anticyclones are areas of higher pressure and are generally associated with lighter winds and fine and settled conditions.

The Prime, Meridian, which runs through the eastern half of Greenland and near the west coast of Africa, cuts the Earth into two halves; the eastern and the western. The equator, which runs through northern Brazil in South America, the rainforest part of Africa, the southern tip of India, and passes right above Thailand, also cuts the Earth in half. For a quick guide, here is what each hemisphere consists of:\n\n1. The NW Hemisphere consists of: all of North America and Central America, the western half of Greenland, and some of northern South America (Colombia, Venezuala, and a little of northern Brazil in essence). Also, most of Spain and the UK, all of Portugal and Ireland, and the western fourth of France are in the North-Western Hemisphere.\n2. The SW Hemisphere consists of most of South America (most of Brazil, and all of Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay). VERY little of Western Africa is in this hemisphere; only part of the countries Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, and Guinea-Bissau are in the South-Western Hemisphere. Also, the Antarctica Peninsula, along with its scattered islands near the coast, are in this hemisphere.\n3. The NE Hemisphere consists of Central and Eastern Europe, most of Africa, except the southern part that looks like a protruding horn; and almost all of Asia, except for Malaysia and Indonesia.\n4. Of the SE Hemisphere: there is the southern "protruding horn" of Africa, the pointed southern end of the teardrop-shaped India; all of Australia, Indoneisa, Malaysia, and the Phillipines; and most of Antarctica.

The Earth's axis is tilted at 23 and a half degrees. As the Earth orbits the Sun this tilt causes the Sun's rays to hit the Earth's surface at a more or less perpendicular angle, depending on the season. Less perpendicular is winter and more perpendicular is summer. This is also why the southern hemisphere is the opposite because it is tilted the other way in relation to the northern hemispere. There are 4 seasons equivelent to 90 degrees of the Earth's orbit. Autumn and spring equinoxes and winter and summer solstices. Jules. Australia.
