What region of the ocean get the greatest input of solar radiation when it's winter in the northern hemisphere?
During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the region of the ocean that receives the greatest input of solar radiation is the Southern Hemisphere, particularly around the equator and in the tropical regions. This is because these areas are tilted towards the sun during the Northern Hemisphere's winter months. Consequently, the Southern Ocean and surrounding tropical waters experience heightened solar exposure, while the Northern Hemisphere regions receive less direct sunlight.
Why does the norther Hemisphere experience a greater annual range of temperature that southern Hemisphere?
Because the Northern hemisphere has alot more land mass than the Southern hemisphere.
Why are solar collectors south facing the northern hemisphere?
Thats where the sun is in the northern hemisphere it's in the southern part of the sky.
How do use solar in a sentence?
"The solar rays are hotter on the equator than in the northern hemisphere."
Why is the solar radiation stronger in southern hemisphere?
As the Earth is currently oriented in space, the southern hemisphere is having summer when the Earth is closer to the Sun. So it will get more sunlight when the Earth is closer (by a couple of million miles). The gyroscope that is the Earth precesses once every 26,000 years, so in about 13,000 years the northern hemisphere will have stronger solar radiation as a year-round average than the southern hemisphere. The south pole also has positive ions arrive on the solar wind (the electrons are directed to the north pole by our magnetic field). Many of these positive ions are hydogen nucleii, which oxidize to water vapor... which both prevents some ozone production and accelerates the decay of ozone. But this is only effective for UV-B light, which is not included in most solar intensity studies, nor is it very effective much beyond the pole (unless it is winter there).
Does the Northern Hemisphere receive the most direct sunlight on the summer solstice?
Yes, the Northern Hemisphere receives the most direct sunlight on the summer solstice, which typically occurs around June 21st. This is when the North Pole is tilted closest to the sun, resulting in longer daylight hours and more intense solar radiation. Consequently, regions in the Northern Hemisphere experience their warmest temperatures of the year around this time.
What hemisphere receives more intense solar radiation on December 21-22?
The Southern Hemisphere receives more intense solar radiation on December 21-22 due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This is the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in longer daylight hours and more direct sunlight.
How is the northern and southern hemisphere alike?
-- Each of them includes one pole of the Earth's rotation.-- Each of them includes 50% of the Earth's surface.-- Each of them receives the same total amount of solar radiation.
Is UV radiation strongest in January?
UV radiation is generally strongest in the summer months when the sun is positioned high in the sky. In January, UV radiation is typically lower in the northern hemisphere due to the sun's angle and reduced daylight hours. However, in the southern hemisphere, where January is summertime, UV radiation can be stronger.
What is the effect of aphelion on earth?
At aphelion, Earth receives 6.9% less of the solar radiation than at perihelion. Aphelion happens around July 4, so this means slightly cooler summers for the Northern Hemisphere and slightly cooler winter for the Southern Hemisphere..
What occurs when the sun when is directly overhead?
Solar radiation is at its strongest when the sun is directly overhead at midday. This is the brightest and hottest time on a clear day because the sun's radiation passes through less of Earth's atmosphere when it strikes Earth perpendicularly. These effects are much less in the early morning or late afternoon when some solar radiation is blocked because it passes through more atmosphere at a greater angle.
Solar winter explanation please?
The solar winter happens once a year. This occurs when the Northern Hemisphere has the least amount of daylight.
