What is the subsolar point?

Subsolar PointBy definition, the subsolar point is the point on the Earth's surface at which the Sun is at its highest (or lowest) latitude at local solar noon. The Subsolar point changes continually as the Earth rotates and seasonally moving from 23.5 degrees South to 23.5 degrees North (the solstices) and back throughout the year. To the extent that the subsolar point is directly beneath the sun (i.e., when the sun's rays are exactly perpendicular to the Earth's surface), it would also be true that the closest point on Earth to the sun at that particular point in time would be the subsolar point.


Which is closer to the earth sun point heat point subsolar point solar point?

The Subsolar Point is the shortest distance between the Earth and Sun. The distance constantly changes, because of orbits, drifts, shifts, tilts, etc. However, by definition, the subsolar point is the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is at its highest (or lowest) latitude at local solar noon. Subsolar points change daily moving from 23.5° South to 23.5° North (the solstices) and back throughout the year. To the extent that the subsolar point is directly beneath the sun (i.e., when the sun's rays are exactly perpendicular to the Earth's surface), it would also be true that the closest point on Earth to the sun at that particular point in time would be the subsolar point. NOTE: The shortest distance between two bodies forms a perpendicular line between the closest parallel planes of both bodies. Subsolar point is the term used to identify the point on a planet which is closest to the sun at any given moment.


Is the subsolar point on a planet the point that is closest to the sun?

No. The "sub-solar" point is that point on the Earth where the Sun is STRAIGHT UP from there.


What is the name of the location where the sun's rays are striking at 90 degrees?

The subsolar point.

Which Africian countries does the tropic of capicorn pass through?

The Tropic of Capricorn or Southern tropic is the circle of latitude containing the subsolar point on the December solstice. It passes through Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Mozambique, and Madagascar.


What is kerchief current law?

The sum of current approaching a point is equal to the sum of current leaving the same point.


What is the solar point?

Solar PointI don't know. I know what the subsolar point is, it's the point in a orbit (of an object around a planet) where the sun is as close to overhead as it can get. Am I close? if this is true then the solar point would most likely be noon on earth. or at scale (since he said a satelite to the sun) it could be when the center of the galaxy is closest to overhead earth of course that could be the galactic point. im not really sure either.


Is the perihelion a solar or subsolar point?

"Perihelion" is a place in space, not on the earth. It's the point in the orbit of any member of the solar system where the orbiting object is closest to the sun. Earth reaches its perihelion each year during the first few days of January. In 2010, it was in the 7 PM hour EST on January 2.

Why operating point of transistor is called as q point?

Q-point means motionless point. At operating point the transistor emitter current and collector current doesn't change. That is why operating called as a quiesent point (q-point)


Is it possible to use a switch to turn off only one bulb in a series circuit?

No. In a series circuit, current is the same, by Kirchoff's current law, at every point in the circuit, so you either have current at every point, or you have no current at every point.
