Hello everyone here We have a question that says when the northern hemisphere is pointed towards the sun, it blanks this part of the Earth. However, if the normal southern hemisphere is pointed away from the sun, it makes the northern hemisphere blank. So if the sun is pointed towards something it's going to warm it up so a and the are incorrect and if it's pointed away from the sun it's going to be cold. So our answer here is the warms up and cold when the northern hemisphere is pointed towards the sun, it warms up this part of the Earth. However, if the northern hemisphere is pointed away from the sun, it makes the northern hemisphere cold. Thank you for watching. Bye.
