A rain shadow is a dry area on the leeward side of a mountainous area (away from the wind). The mountains block the passage of rain-producing weather systems and cast a "shadow" of dryness behind them. Wind and moist air is drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains, where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top. The air, without much moisture left, advances behind the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow"

What climate will countries from the northern and southern hemispheres experience from having the least direct sunlight?(1 point
earnstyle [38]

Winter is the phase of year when countries in the northern and southern hemispheres, respectively, see the least amount of direct sunlight.

December, January, and February in the Northern Hemisphere and June, July, and August in the Southern Hemisphere are the months when a portion of the Earth experiences the least amount of daylight. The Earth's 23.5° axial tilt as it orbits the sun causes solitons and varying solar declinations. This indicates that, during the year, one of the hemispheres is tilted toward the sun and receives the most intense solar rays, while the other receives the least amount of sunlight.

Answer:
