Why are the tropics the earths warmest regions?
They receive more direct sunlight than the other parts of the globe.
Why can it be summer on one part of the planet and winter on another?
the earth is tilted and some parts of it get direct sunlight and other parts dont.
What is the result of the different parts of the earth getting different amounts of direct and indirect sunlight during the year?
It results in seasons, also did you know when it is winter, you are closer to the Earth then in winter,but because of the angle less sunlight hits you.
How Earth's temperatures increase and decrease seasonally?
As Earth revolves around the sun on its tilted axis,diffrent parts of Earth receive diffrent waves of sunlight either stronger or weaker.
Why do certain parts of earth receive warmer temperatures than others?
Certain parts of Earth are either closer to the sun (due to the shape of the Earth and the tilt of its axis) or are receiving more direct rays from the sun.
What parts of the earth receive direct rays from the sun all year round?
The equator receives sunlight all year round. The sunlight is direct. ____ All of the earth's surface outside of the arctic regions receives direct sunlight all year long. It is only north of the arctic circle and south of the antarctic circle that you have periods of night time extending for long periods of winter. There is no place on earth where the sun reaches the zenith every day of the year; not even the equator. Most of the time, sunlight reaches earth at an angle, but this does not mean that the sunlight is not 'direct'. Even at a location where the sun will reach zenith that day, the sun is at zenith only for a moment. For the entire balance of the day, the sunlight is direct, and at an angle. For that matter, even when the sun is at zenith the sunlight is at an angle: 90 degrees. In other words, the location of the sun when it transits the sky does not determine whether or not you are receiving direct sunlight.
What parts of earth can receive up to 24 hours of sunlight a day?
North of the arctic circle, or south of the antarctic circle, but only at certain times of the year.
What parts of earth receive up to 24 hours of sunlight a day?
North of the arctic circle, or south of the antarctic circle, but only at certain times of the year.
Is Singapore hotter than US?
Yes, the sun rays are only directed in one direction and since the earth turns and is slightly tilted, some parts of the earth receive less sunlight then the rest.
Do you always have the same number of hours of daylight every day?
no, because diffefernt parts of the world receive different amounts of sunlight because the earth is tilted on it's axis.
What is the effect of the northern hemisphere receiving the direct rays of the sun?
All parts of the half of the planet facing the Sun receive direct rays of the Sun. Therofre your question is meaningless.The only significant indirect rays the Earth receives form the Sun are those reflected off the surface of the Moon.Further, it must be pointed out that the tilts of Earth's spin axis is only 23.4° and thus both N ans S hemispheres up to the antarctic and arctic circles always receive direct sunlight each day. At no time ever is only the Northern hemisphere illuminated.
What is the difference between earth system and climate system?
A climate system is the average weather and all the parts that make it like direct sunlight to the equator makes it a tropical climate system.
