Mercator’s climata australia This Mercator map delineated climata in both the northern and southern hemispheres. On this map Mercator appears to apply the term australia to all the climata in the southern hemisphere.

The “normal” orientation of the world map (with North at the top) is only a convention. Sure, it puts Australia (and us in NZ) down in the bottom right-hand corner.

Because it’s in the southern hemisphere, which is the other side of the earth to the US. This means Australia is ‘upside down’ compared to anywhere in the northern hemisphere.

The country is ranked 10th out of 162 on the safest and most dangerous countries ranking. Crimes rates and terrorism risk are low. Although there is no shortage of dangerous animals (spiders, snakes, jellyfish, crocodiles, sharks), recent data shows that the most dangerous animal in Australia is…a horse.

In Australia, the Moon is “upside down” from the point of view of northern hemisphere viewers.

Indeed, the Moon does look ‘upside down’ in the Southern Hemisphere compared to the northern hemisphere. This is simply a matter of orientation.

Yes, everyone sees the same phases of the Moon. People north and south of the equator do see the Moon’s current phase from different angles, though.

Although the Moon is about as wide as Australia, it is actually much bigger when you think in terms of surface area. The land area of Australia is some 7.69 million square kilometers. By contrast, the surface area of the Moon is 37.94 million square kilometres, close to five times the area of Australia.

The average temperature on the Moon (at the equator and mid latitudes) varies from -298 degrees Fahrenheit (-183 degrees Celsius), at night, to 224 degrees Fahrenheit (106 degrees Celsius) during the day.

Russia has a bigger surface area than Pluto. Pluto’s surface area is 16.7 million square kilometers. Russia’s surface area is 17,098,242 sq km.

The moon is a bit more than one-fourth (27 percent) the size of Earth, a much larger ratio (1:4) than any other planets and their moons. Earth’s moon is the fifth largest moon in the solar system. The moon’s mean radius is 1,079.6 miles (1,737.5 kilometers).

Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the eight planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, the dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies….Solar System.

About 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the sun. The mass of the sun is 1.989 x 1030 kilograms, about 333,000 times the mass of the Earth.
