The magnetic poles of the Earth don't face the Sun directly, but are indeed angled. This is a good thing, because it, along with the revolution of Earth around the Sun, is what gives us our seasons, and allows many species of animal dependent upon seasonal changes to survive.
What else can I help you with?
Where does the sun stay up the longest?
Because the poles tilt towards the sun in summer the North and South Poles have six months when the sun is visible day and night.
Both poles take a turn facing the sun during its 84 year revolution Is It Pluto Neptune or Uranus?
Uranus is the planet that takes a turn facing the sun during its 84-year revolution due to its extreme axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This causes its poles to alternate in facing the sun during its orbit around the sun.
If you are facing east to the sun it is likely to be morning or late afternoon?
Morning
Why are the sunrays never vertical on the poles?
Because the poles are at no point directed straght towards the sun, its due to the Earth being upright (with a small tilt) as it circles the sun. The sun will never be directly overhead outside the tropics.
Does the part of the Earth that is facing towards the sun have day?
yes its day
Which planets poles are facing directly at the sun?
The planets whose poles are facing directly at the Sun are Uranus and Mercury. Uranus has an extreme axial tilt of about 98 degrees, which causes its poles to be oriented almost horizontally relative to its orbit, allowing one pole to face the Sun during its long seasons. Mercury, while not tilted significantly, has a unique orbit that can position its poles in direct sunlight at certain times due to its eccentric orbit and slow rotation.
Why do the poles receive less solar energy than the equators do?
It is because the North and South Poles don't point right at the Sun, as the Equator does, being on the top of the Earth the poles cannot get the direct rays from the Sun. But, the Equator can because it is always pointing towards the Sun, thus, getting more solar energy. Hope this helped.
When at new moon the lighted half of the moon faces away or towards the earth?
the lighted half is facing towards the sun not the earth
Towards which direction does the shoot grow?
It grows towards the sun, a direction we humans usually refer to as "up".
Why does the north pole stay cold during the summer even though the sun is tilted towards the northern hemisphere?
The closest the poles ever get to receiving direct sunlight is at the time of the summer solstice. At that time the sun is only 23.5° above the horizon when viewed from the pole, and when you're at one of the poles, that's the highest it ever gets. When something is not directly facing the sun, it will not warm up as rapidly as something that is. I saw that demonstrated on TV years ago with two foil-covered identical containers with thermometers inside (the foil covering of one container was facing the sun; the foil on the other was not). Also, there's not much at the poles to absorb the solar radiation. Most of it reflects off of all that ice and snow.
Does an eclipse of the sun happened at night?
Yes, as what determines whether it is day or night is if we are on the side of the Earth facing towards or away from the sun. An eclipse of the sun occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, and we may be on the side of the Earth facing away from the Sun when it occurs.
Why does the north or south pole have 24 hours of darkness or daylight?
they are either having the rays of the sun hitting the pole all day because of its tilt, it is always facing the sun. Or, because of the tilt, the pole is always facing away from the sun and its rays
