Factor	The Difference	Impact on You
Elliptical Orbit	In the Southern Hemisphere summer, Earth is actually 3.5% closer to the sun than during the Northern summer.	7% to 10% more intense UV radiation.
Atmospheric Clarity	Lower levels of industrial pollution and smog.	UV rays hit your skin with almost zero filtration.
Ozone Layer	While recovering, the ozone layer is naturally thinner over the Southern Hemisphere.	Fewer "filters" to block the most carcinogenic rays.
