Where the sun isalmost directly overhead at noon all year?
Nowhere. The closest place is on the equator.
Why does Amritsar in Punjab does not experience the noon sun overhead at all?
Amritsar, located in Punjab, does not experience the noon sun directly overhead due to its northern latitude, which is around 31.6 degrees north. The sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north) during the summer solstice, but as one moves northward, the sun's zenith position shifts southward. As a result, in Amritsar, the sun is at an angle during noon, making it impossible for the sun to be directly overhead at any time of the year.
Where is the sun almost directly over head at noon all year at?
equator
Where are the sun stays over head or nearly overhead all year long?
The SUN is almost directly overhead the equator all year.
Name of country where the sun shines directly over the equator on 21st March?
The Sun is directly over the equator on both the Vernal and Autumnal equinoxes. The Autumnal equinox is usually on the 21st or 22nd of September but can occur as late as the 23rd. On both equinoxes however all of the countries along the equator will have the sun pass directly overhead. It will rise due East, be directly overhead at noon and set due West.
What happens to the length of your shad ow in winter vrs summer?
In the summer - or more specifically, on the summer solstice (June 21 in the northern hemisphere, December 21 in the southern hemisphere) the noon Sun is as high in the sky as it will get. If the Sun were directly overhead, you would cast no shadow at all. As summer progresses into fall, the noon Sun will be lower and lower in the sky until the winter solstice, when the noon Sun is low in the sky, and the noon shadows will be longer.
Where does the sun stay overhead or nearly overhead all year?
The closest answer to your question is the equator.
Why is the earths temp hotter at the equator?
Because the sunlight it receives is almost directly overhead all year round. the Equator receives the most solar energy.
What is the geographic significance of the two tropic lines?
The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn mark the northern and southern boundaries, respectively, of the region within which lie all the points on Earth where it is ever possible for the sun to be directly overhead, at any time of day and on any day of the year.
Where does the sun stay overhead or nearly overhead all year long?
The closest answer to your question is the equator.
Where is the sun at noon?
At noon, the Sun would cross the meridian, wherever you live.September is close to an equinox; if you live at the Equator, the Sun would be at the zenith. For every degree further north that you live, the Sun would be a degree south of the zenith. For example, if you live at 50 degrees latitude North, the Sun would be 40 degrees above the horizon (towards the South) i.e., 50 degrees from the zenit.
What is different about the areas above the Arctic Circle?
Above the Arctic Circle, locations will experience at least one 24-hour period of sunlight per year as well as at least one 24-hour period with no sunrise at all. The tilt of the Earth means that when the noon Sun is directly overhead a point above the equator, the North Pole receives 24 hours of sunlight. When the noon Sun is directly overhead a point south of the equator, the North Pole gets no sunlight at all. The closer a point is to the North Pole, the more days it has per year with either 24 hours of sunlight or 24 hours of night. At the North Pole, there is a 6-month period of constant daylight and a 6-month period with no daylight. (However, it can get somewhat bright during daytime hours in early spring and late fall when the Sun is just slightly below the horizon.)
