NounNorthern Hemisphere
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The Northern Hemisphere is the half of a planet that is north of the equator—the word hemisphere literally means 'half sphere'. It is also that half of the celestial sphere north of the celestial equator. Earth's northern hemisphere contains most of its land area and most of its human population (about 90%).

Q. The earth is tilted (23.5 degrees) in a predictable way : the northern hemisphere is tilted most toward the sun on June 21, most away from the sun December 21, and neither toward nor away from the sun March 20 and September 22. Is the moon's 1.5 degree tilt also predictable in this way? Asked by Jonny - Wed Jun 11 09:43:27 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. This isn't as simple as it might seem and I hate to disagree with most responses so far but this is how I interpret the Wikipedia article on the subject at: The Moon's equator is inclined 1.543 to the plane of the Earth's orbit (the ecliptic) and is 180 out of phase with the inclination of its own orbit to the ecliptic. This means that the plane of the Moon's equator rotates round the ecliptic in the same period as its orbit, i.e. 18.6 years. Therefore, the Moon's north pole would be pointed towards the Sun every 346 days (i.e. roughly 19 times in 18 years). This would also occur at the time of year when the Sun is equidistant from the nodes of the Moon's orbit on the ecliptic, which is currently in May and November. So, to summarise:… [cont.] Answered by bikenbeer2000 - Wed Jun 11 11:37:52 2008 Dumb question about the moon in the northern hemisphere? Q. In Hollywood movies, the full moon is always depicted as being absolutely huge: taking up a massive proportion of the screen, looking big enough to touch, and you are able to see clearly individual craters on it. Is the moon really that big in the northern hemisphere, or is this a film studio convention? If it is that big, why does it look so big and close in the northern hemisphere? The thing is, when you see a movie, do you think "Gee that moon looks ridiculously big" or does it pretty much look like what's in the sky in real life? Asked by Ella - Wed Aug 9 01:03:19 2006 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. The Moon looks the same size from everywhere on Earth, and it is actually quite small. You can cover it with your little finger held out at arm's length, if you close one eye. They make it look big in movies because it looks good. You cannot depend on accuracy in movies! Answered by campbelp2002 - Wed Aug 9 11:10:55 2006 Why are the westerlies in the Southern Hemisphere slightly faster than the ones in the Northern Hemisphere?
Q. The westerlies in the Southern Hemisphere are slightly faster than the westerlies in the Northern Hemisphere. Why? a.The Earth bulges out more in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern Hemisphere b.The South Pole is colder than the North Pole c.The Coriolis force turns motion to the left in the Southern Hemisphere but to the right in the Northern Hemisphere d.Gravitational Pull of the moon is stronger in the Southern Hemisphere Asked by Andrew C - Tue Feb 24 00:37:51 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Because it is a large continent, Antarctica is colder than the north pole. The strength of the wind is relative to the difference of pressure, which is relative to the difference of temperature on each side of the polar front. Hence a greater difference in the southern hemisphere because the equatorial air masses are the same for both fronts. Another factor is the fact that in the southern hemisphere, the westerlies can go around the earth without meeting a continent. This is why sailors call the latitudes 40 S for the roaring forties and 60 S for the screaming sixties. As you probably know, Cape Horn, the southern end of South America, is the worst place on earth with never stopping westerly storms.
