Which latitudes would experience the fewest hours of daylight on December 22?
December 22 is close to the northern hemisphere's winter solstice (December 21), when the Sun is furthest south. At that date the Sun does not rise above the horizon at all latitudes north of the Arctic Circle (approximately 66.5 degrees north). They therefore have zero hours of daylight.
In countries at far northern latitudes Why cant good observations of the stars be made at those places?
No reason why they couldn't be. The downside would be long daylight hours during the summer, which would be made up for by long nights in the winter.
Would every latitude on earth have the chance of seeing the sun directly over head is the Earth was tilted on it's axis by 90 degrees?
Only the latitudes at 0 and 180 degrees and those at 90 degrees wouldhave the chance of seeing the sun directly over it's head if the earth wastilted on it's axis by 90 degrees.==============================Answer #2:Thgere is no such latitude as "180 degrees".If the Earth's axis were in the ecliptic plane and the Earth rotated "on its side",then each pole would point directly at the sun at one moment each year.In order to follow through the annual saga, let's say that the north pole pointeddirectly at the sun on January 1, just for an example. Then . . .-- On January 1, the sun would be directly overhead at the north Pole. Allnorthern latitudes, from the equator to the north pole, would have 24 hours ofdaylight. All southern latitudes, from the equator to the south pole, would have24 hours of dark.-- From January 1 to the end of March, the sun would move slowly, fromoverhead at the north pole, to overhead at the equator. The length of daylighteverywhere in the northern latitudes, between the equator and the north pole,would gradually decrease, from 24 hours to 12 hours. The length of daylighteverywhere in the southern latitudes, between the equator and the south pole,would gradually increase, from zero to 12 hours. Every northern latitude woudhave the sun directly overhead once during these 3 months.

How many hours of daylight does the summer solstice consist of?
That would depend on where in the world you are. If you were at the North Pole there would be 24 hours of daylight, while at the South Pole there would be no daylight. At points in between the two poles the amount of daylight would be different. At the equator the amount of daylight hours would be about 12 hours.
If you lived at 50 north latitude how many daylight hours would you have at the summer solstice?
about 16.3 hours

Where would you be if you had 24 hours of daylight?
Iceland in the summer
In which latitudes would you expect to find the warmest temperatures?
The latitudes that are around the equator are the latitudes that usually have the warmest temperatures. Countries and cities around the equator usually experience sunshine all year round.
How many hours of daylight does the summer solstice consist of?
That would depend on where in the world you are. If you were at the North Pole there would be 24 hours of daylight, while at the South Pole there would be no daylight. At points in between the two poles the amount of daylight would be different. At the equator the amount of daylight hours would be about 12 hours.
Which mouth has the most hours of daylight?
July-June has the longest day of the year,but it has only 30 days. So I would say July has the most hours of daylight.
If you were in a paticular place how many of hours a day would you get in the winter?
I presume you mean 'How many hours of daylight.' That would depend on which particular place you mean. In southern Britain you might get 6 hours, in North Cape, Norway, you would not really get any daylight at all.
What latitude that would have 24 hours of daylight on June 21?
The latitude that would experience 24 hours of daylight on June 21 is the Arctic Circle, which is located at approximately 66.5 degrees north. At this latitude, the phenomenon known as the Midnight Sun occurs, where the sun remains visible for a full 24 hours.
If you lived at 50 north latitude how many daylight hours would you have at the summer solstice?
about 16.3 hours
Which latitude would experience the greatest number of hours of daylight on June 21st?
The sun does not set at all north of the Arctic Circle on the day of the June solstice.
In Late June which area of the world would have the least amount of daylight hours?
Antarctica, where there would be zero hours of daylight. Anyplace south of the equator will have less than 12 hours of sunlight, and the farther south, the less daylight you will have in late June. June 21 is the Summer Solstice in the northern hemisphere, and the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere.
