How is the hottest month in a calendar year dependent on the lattitude? Is it linear as in, if you go north from the equator the hottest time of the year moves out? Is it the opposite in the southern hemisphere? Why?
In: 6
Because the Earth tilts, and so when the northern end of the planet is tipped towards the sun, that means the southern end is tipped away from the sun, and vice versa.”
In the Northern hemisphere July-Aug is the hottest months, and in the Southern hemisphere Jan-Feb is the hottest months.
It’s kind of hard to explain in words, but much easier [if you just see a picture of it.](https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/seasons/en/seasons.en.jpg)
