The Northern Hemisphere will then have a stronger orientation toward the Sun than will the Southern Hemisphere. The opposite situation exists on December 21-22 .In between these dates, on March 21-22 and September 21-22, are the equinoxes, in which neither hemisphere has a stronger orientation toward the Sun.
