Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In the Northern Hemisphere, north-facing slopes in latitudes from about 30 to 55 degrees receive less direct sunlight than south-facing slopes. The lack of direct sunlight throughout the day, whether in winter or summer, results in north-facing slopes being cooler than south-facing slopes.
Detailed explanation-2: -At higher latitudes in the southern hemisphere, the sun tends to be in the northern half of the sky, so a north-facing slope will be warmer.
