Noontime shadows are longer in the Northern Hemisphere than in the South

Explanation:

The angle that the sun's rays make with the earth depends on the latitude and altitude. As the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth is 90 degrees over the as smaller the angle the more is the intensity of heat. This fluctuation is seen in temperature and seasonal patterns The Sun in the Northern hemisphere sky is made a more steep angle with the ground a but the sunlight is equal for the north and southern hemisphere. The time of the day is thus an important factor in latitudinal heat distribution.
