Gravitational pull that causes things to turn right in the Northern Hemisphere is known as Coriolis Effect

Explanation:

The spinning of the earth around the sun its planetary orbit causes the seasons day and night and temperature reversals. Tilt in the earth of 23.5 is mainly due to the earth is a geoid and the elliptical shape of the planet causes it to have 365 days around one year. Coriolis force is a force created due to the rotation of the earth and northern winds are deflected towards the right side and winds coming from the equator in the southern hemisphere to the left side of the globe. The winds are thus being called as planetary winds and westerlies and easterlies are found in this equatorial belts of mid-latitudes. This force is the largest force created by the gravitational pull of earth with an average rotational speed of 460 meters per second.
