What is the latitude of the the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on June 21?
The tangent ray refers to either the northernmost or southernmost hemisphere where the vertical rays refers to direct sun. During the June 21 solstice, the latitude rays in the northern hemisphere would be 66.5 degrees N (Arctic Circle)
What part gets slanting rays of the sun in December?
Northern hemisphere.
Why do northern and southern hemisphere experience opposite seasons?
They experience opposite seasons because one part of the planet is exposed to the rays of the sun than the other, and this exposure alternates as the earth revolves in it's orbit
When the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun what season is it in Australia?
When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the southern hemisphere (where Australia is found) is tilted away. This means the sun's rays hit at a much shallower angle. That is what causes winter.
Why does the southern hemisphere experience winter and summer solstice in different times than of the northern hemisphere?
As everyone knows the Earth tilts on it's axis at the angle of 66 and half degrees. On 21st December the Earth tilts on it's axis so that the sun would hit the southern hemisphere and then the southern hemisphere would have winter while the northern hemisphere would have winter. So when the sun's rays hit the northern hemisphere then the northern hemisphere would have summer while the southern hemisphere would have winter.
What time of the year is the southern hemisphere exposed to vertical rays of the sun?
When the northern hemisphere is in winter, the southern hemisphere is in summer.
How long is the northern hemisphere exposed to vertical rays of the sun?
Some part of the northern hemisphere is exposed to vertical rays of the Sun from the spring equinox to the autumn equinox (slightly more than half a year because the Earth is further away from the sun during the northern hemisphere summer, it moves slower along it orbit).
What is the latitude of the the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on June 21?
The tangent ray refers to either the northernmost or southernmost hemisphere where the vertical rays refers to direct sun. During the June 21 solstice, the latitude rays in the northern hemisphere would be 66.5 degrees N (Arctic Circle)
When neither the northern nor southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun the noon sun's vertical rays are felt at?
the equator
Are the sun's rays vertical at the Tropic of Cancer during the summer solstice?
That happens on June 21.It's the Summer Solstice for the northern Hemisphere, but it's the beginning of Winter in the southern Hemisphere.
Are the sun's rays striking the Northern or Southern hemisphere the most during the summer?
well if you say it that way, it depend which hemisphere you live in. We live in the northern hemisphere, so the sun rays strike to the southern hemisphere.
Why are places along the equator so hot?
When it's spring/fall in the northern/southern hemisphere, the equator is directly exposed to the Suns energy. This happens twice per year. When it's summer in the northern hemisphere or summer in the southern hemisphere, these are the coolest days of the year for equatorial locations. It is still very warm in these places because the angle of the suns apparent location is still pretty high in the sky for them.
What hemisphere receives fewer direct rays from the sun in January than in?
The northern hemisphere receives fewer direct rays from the sun in January.
Why is December likely to be warmer in Australia than in the UK?
The Earth's axis is tilted, and in December the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun. This means that the Sun's rays hit the southern hemisphere at a smaller angle from the vertical and are thus less spread out.
What type of rays are hitting the northern hemisphere during winter?
crampe
What part gets slanting rays of the sun in December?
Northern hemisphere.
What is is the latitude of the tangent Rays in the southern hemisphere?
The tangent ray refers to either the northernmost or southernmost hemisphere where the vertical rays refers to direct sun. During the June 21 solstice, the latitude rays in the southern hemisphere would be 66.5 deg S (Antarctic Circle)
