The northern hemisphere is more directly exposed to the sun's rays during June and July. The southern hemisphere receives less direct sunlight during these months, resulting in winter. Why are the warmest places on Earth found at the equator?
The northern hemisphere experiences summer during the months of June, July, and August because it is tilted toward the sun and receives the most direct sunlight. The northern hemisphere is more directly exposed to the sun's rays during June and July (summer in the northern hemisphere. The southern hemisphere receives less direct sunlight during these months, resulting in winter.Earth is closest to the Sun during their summer when they are tilted towards the Sun and this means they get 7% more solar radiation. Therefore you'd expect the southern hemisphere summer to be a lot warmer than the northern summer. Earth's axis always points in the same direction. Because of this, the part of Earth that receives the most direct rays from the Sun changes as the Earth travels around the Sun. At the equinox, the Sun's rays shine most directly on the equator, and the Northern and Southern Hemispheres get the same amount of Sunlight. The main reason is the uneven distribution of the continents and oceans around the globe. The Northern Hemisphere contains more land, while the Southern Hemisphere has more oceans. During July the northern half of our planet tilts toward the sun, heating up the land, which warms up easier than the oceans. Because the equator is located at the middle part of the Earth, more sunlight passes directly into it. Unlike the upper and lower part of the Earth, they receive a small amount of sunlight that results into a lower temperature.So the concept that the hottest place on earth is around the equator and the coolest is on the poles is wrong. It is hotter in the desert than around the equator because the weather in the desert is very dry so when the temperature rises and it doesn't rain the temperature will rise even higher. It is because the sun remains almost directly overhead every day. Countries that are further north or South of the equator experience a change in seasons, when hot weather follows cold weather. This happens because the Earth circles around the sun on a tilted axis.
For geographic purposes, the Earth is divided into a northern and southern hemisphere by an imaginary ring called the equator. Whichever hemisphere is more directly facing the Sun during the course of the Earth's orbit will receive more of the Sun's energy for more of the day. Earth is closest to the Sun during their summer when they are tilted towards the Sun and this means they get 7% more solar radiation. Therefore you'd expect the southern hemisphere summer to be a lot warmer than the northern summer. The hemisphere tilted toward the sun also has more hours of daylight than the hemisphere that is tilted away from the sun. The combination of more direct rays of sunlight and more hours of daylight causes the hemisphere tilted toward the sun to receive more solar radiation and to have warmer temperatures. For part of our orbit the northern half of Earth is tilted toward the Sun. This is summer in the northern hemisphere; there are longer periods of daylight, the Sun is higher in the sky, and the Sun's rays strike the surface more directly, giving us warmer temperatures. During the summer, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. The light does not spread out as much, thus increasing the amount of energy hitting any given spot. Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures. In Earth's present-day climate, the annually-averaged surface air temperature in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) is? 1.5°C higher than in the Southern Hemisphere (SH). This interhemispheric temperature difference has been known for a long time, and scientists have pondered over its origin for centuries.
