How many days does the moon take shining in a certain part of the earth?
From any one point, the Moon is above the horizon approximately 12 hours and 25 minutes.
How can the moon be visible to day and at the same time night?
The Moon is visible as long as it is above the horizon. On average, the Moon is above the horizon approximately 12 hours 25 minutes at a time, and below the horizon the next 12 hours 25 minutes.
How many frost-free days are in the northern latitudes?
In the northern latitudes there is a quite low number of frost free days.
How long do we estimate a year to be?
A year is approximately 365.25 days
When we cannot see the moon at all?
1. When it is below the horizon. 2. when it is in the Sun's glare 2 days either side of New Moon.
How many days does the moon take shining in a certain part of the earth?
From any one point, the Moon is above the horizon approximately 12 hours and 25 minutes.
On how many days a year does the antarctic circle have vertical noon rays of the sun?
None. The closest it gets is on December 21, when the sun climbs to a dazzling 43 degrees above the northern horizon.
Does the moon stay below the horizon at the poles for months like the sun does?
No. Seen from either pole, the moon is continuously below the horizon for roughly 14.8 days, followed by another 14.8 continuous days when it's above the horizon.
How can the moon be visible to day and at the same time night?
The Moon is visible as long as it is above the horizon. On average, the Moon is above the horizon approximately 12 hours 25 minutes at a time, and below the horizon the next 12 hours 25 minutes.
Why are days and nights are not of equal lenght through out the world?
This can be illustrated quite neatly if you consider an extreme case. If you live at the North Pole, and the Sun is above the horizon, then (as Earth rotates) the Sun will CONTINUE being above the horizon. You'll have sunlight 24 hours. If you live at the South Pole, at the same date, the Sun will continuously be BELOW the horizon; and you'll have 0 hours of sunlight.
Why are the days so short in December?
The northern hemisphere has less daylight because the northern hemisphere is leaning away from the Sun. The Sun then appears to be lower and does not spend as much time above the horizon. However, the southern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, so it has more hours of daylight in December, and it is summer there. Mid-summer in the northern hemisphere, when the northern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, means more hours of daylight, while the southern hemisphere has less, because it is leaning away and in its winter.
When the sun rays reach their highest angle in the northern hemisphere the season there in is?
That would be summer. In summer, the northern axis of the earth is tilted toward the sun. The angle of the sun from the horizon is greater than in the winter. This is one reason summer is warmer and days are longer.
Why is the northern hemisphere warmer in the spring than in the winter?
It starts in April because of when and how the sun's rays strike the northern part of Earth.
Why is December 21 important to science?
December 21 is the winter solstice. This is the first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and the shortest day of the year. The earth is tilted approximately 23.5 degrees on its axis. On two days of the year, the equator of the earth is closer to the sun due to this tilt. These days are June 21 and December 21. On December 21, the sun appears to be close to the horizon, resulting in the shortest day of the year. From December 21 onward, days get longer and longer. In the southern hemisphere it is the day with most sunlight.
How many frost-free days are in the northern latitudes?
In the northern latitudes there is a quite low number of frost free days.
What is the climate in the arctic like?
sunny and hot in summer That type of climate is called arctic. It is very cold and dark in winter. In summer the sun stays above the horizon for days or weeks, and it may be warm or cool.
What is the sun's position in the sky in the summer?
The only distinctive property of the Sun's position in the sky during the summer is that it is higher above the horizon at any given time of day. This results in its rays being more concentrated and therefore effectively warmer, resulting in the characteristic high temperatures of summer. As a result of being higher above the horizon the days (daylight hours) are also longer, further increasing the heating effect. These distinctions are effectively lost in the tropics where the the sun is always high in the sky and the days about the same length.
