Chapter 53.2, Problem 4R
Summary Introduction
To review:
Earth’s northern and southern hemispheres as they have opposite seasons.
Introduction:
The Earth is segregated into northern and southern hemisphere. Northern hemisphere is that half part of the Earth that lies north to the equator. It starts from the 0o (equator) to 90o latitude (North Pole). Southern hemisphere is another half part which lies south to the equator. It started from 0o latitude to 90o latitude (South Pole).
