Why is it warm by the equator line?
The suns rays and heat hit it directly
Why are climates located farther from the equator cooler than those closer to the equator?
Its is cooler because of earths tilt the sun's ultraviolet rays hit most directly on the equator so it is hotter by the equator so the farther from the equator the cooler.
How does the suns ray hit the Bahamas?
The Bahamas are just north of Cuba, still near the Equator. So the Sun's rays hit them more directly than at any where further north or south of the Equator.
Where are the tangent rays of the sun during a December solstice?
During a December solstice, the tangent rays of the sun are focused on the Tropic of Capricorn, which is located at approximately 23.5 degrees south latitude. This results in the southern hemisphere receiving more direct sunlight and experiencing its summer season, while the northern hemisphere receives indirect sunlight and experiences winter.
What occurs when the sun's most direct Rays hit the equator and the experiences equal amounts of light and dark?
Equinox
What when the sun's most direct rays hit the equator and the day experiences equal amounts of light and dark?
Equinox
Does the equator effect why Africa is so hot?
Lands near the equator are hot because the sun's rays hit them more directly than other parts of the world.
Why is the temperatur at the equator higher than the rest of the world?
The Equator is directly facing towards the Sun, and so the Sun's rays hits the Equator more directly. As you move north or south, away from the Equator, the Sun's ray hit the Earth at a sharper angle. With further to travel through our atmosphere, the rays are cooler when they strike the Earth.
What occurs when the sun's most direct rays hit the equator and the day experiences equal amounts of light and dark?
The Sun is never ON the equator, it is above the equator twice a year - the spring equinox and the fall equinox.
Why Africa is called the most tropical of all continents?
the suns rays hit the equator directly and that means that near the equator is tropical. the equator runs right through Africa.
Why there is no difference in weather near the equator?
Near the equator, the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface directly, leading to consistent high temperatures. This constant heat results in minimal temperature variations and relatively stable weather conditions throughout the year. Additionally, the equator's proximity to large bodies of water helps regulate temperatures and maintain a consistent climate.
Why do areas farthest from the equator have the coldest climates?
The further south or north from the equator, the shallower the angle of the sun's rays hitting the earth's surface. This means that the rays travel through the atmosphere further and so have time to cool. The sun's rays hit the equator dead on, concentrated, but they hit the North and South pole at an angle, so the heat is spread out over a larger area.
