How can 4 turns put a figure back in its original position?
Well if each turn is 90° or a multiple of 90°, then it will have turned 360° or a multiple of 360°, which is a complete circle. So if you are facing North, and turn 90° to the right, then you are facing East. Another 90° and you're facing South. Turn 90° for the third time, and you're facing West. The fourth 90° turn to the right, and you're back facing North, again.
Why do the south facing sides of a building receive more sunlight than the north?
Because we live in the Northern Hemisphere. The most sun exposure on Earth is at the Equator so in the Northern Hemisphere, the southern-facing windows have the largest angle facing the sun while the northern-facing windows face away from the sun. In the southern hemisphere, this is the opposite.

How do you tell time without a clock?
Stand facing north. North is twelve o clock. Imagine a clock around you. wherever your shadow is facing is the time. if it is facing 90 degrees to your right is three o clock. 180 is 6 o clock. 240 degrees is 9 o clock. you will have to imagine where the other numbers are. if you don't now angles 90=a quarter of a circle 180=half 240=3 quarters.with this skill you can't get the exact time but it can get you close with practice.
Why are north facing slopes in the southern hemisphere warmer than south facing slopes?
For the same reason that south facing slopes in the northern hemisphere are warmer than north facing slopes. From the point of view of the Earth, the sun never strays farther from the equator than the 2 tropics. So in the south the angle of the sun on a south facing slope is always lower than for a north facing slope (in some places it might always be in shadow). For this reason (more direct sunlight) people put solar energy panels on north facing slopes in the south, and the opposite in the north.

How does relief influence climate?
Relief means the shape of the land's surface. It includes things such as aspect, which means the direction in which a slope faces. Aspect can affect local climate in a number of ways. ASPECT AND TEMPERATURES In the northern hemishere, south-facing slopes are usually warmer than north-facing slopes. The reason for this is: 1. Sunrays arrive at more direct angles on south-facing slopes. So they are more concentrated ang give more heat. 2. South-facing slopes get longer then periods of daily sunshine, while north-facing slopes are sometimes in the shade. 3. South-facing slopes are sheltered from cold northerly winds.
Why is southern Britain warmer than northern Britain?
In the northern hemispherethe further south you go nearer the tropics the warmer it gets, as the sun reaches higher in the sky warming the land and sea more effectively. Therefore, on average, land further south (eg South of France) is warmer than Britain, and, on average, North Africa is warmer than France. The North of Scotland is much cooler on average than the south for the same reason. In Scotland, the sun does not reach as high in the sky (even in summer) as it does in the south and so does not warm the land and sea as effectively as it would in the south. Add to this prevailing winds from the arctic (rather than from the West in the south of Britain) and the north of the country ends up much cooler on average.
Why does the UK have mild winters?

What is the usage of north star or polaris?
The usage of the north star, or Polaris, is to find which way you are facing. If you are facing in the direction of it, you are facing north. If you are facing the opposite direction of the north star, you are facing south. If you are facing left of the north star, you are facing east. If you are facing right of the north star, you are facing west.
When you are facing Polaris you are?
You are facing North.
