Why does the outer edge of the atmosphere at the north pole receive no solar radiation in December?
Because In December the north pole points away from the sun and does not receive any sunlight
What location on Earth has the least intense sunlight on December 22?
North Pole
Why are solar panels placed on south facing roofs?
They are placed facing the equator so they can catch the most sunlight. This means facing south in the northern hemisphere, and facing north in the southern hemisphere.
Does the side of the earth that faces the sun change during the year?
No. North America and South America are the only continents that receive sunlight and daytime.
Is London in the north or south hemisphere?
Northern hemisphere.
Why is the north pole always in sunlight during the summer in the northern hemisphere?
It is because it is at the northern hemisphere so when then northen hemisphere gets the sunlight it is whith the north pole
Why is the north pole always in the sunlight in the northern hemisphere?
It is not always in sunlight! There are like seasons. For half a year, there is sunlight and for the other half, there is shade.
What area of earth's surface receives more solar energy the North Pole the South Pole or Northern Hemisphere or the Equator?
The Equator receives 12 hours of sunlight every day all year. The poles only receive six months of sunlight, and the Northern Hemisphere experiences different amounts of sunlight in hours each day, depending on the season.
What day does north America receive the most sunlight?
The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, receiving the most hours of sunlight. Since North America is in the Northern Hemisphere, this solstice comes on either June 21 or June 22.
Which continents are at least partially in the Northern Hemisphere?
North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa are continents that are at least partially located in the Northern Hemisphere.
How many hours of sunlight do latitudes north of the Antarctic Circle receive?
North of the Antarctic Circle, geographies experience a mix of hours of sunlight and hours of no sunlight. At the Antarctic Circle, there is at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise/ sunset per year. At the Equator, these periods are about 12 hours each.
On what day does North America receive the most sunlight?
summer solstice
Do South America and North America receive the same amount of sunlight?
No
Why is the northern hemisphere cooler then the southern hemisphere?
The tilt of the Earth on its axis causes the northern hemisphere to receive less direct sunlight during its winter months, leading to cooler temperatures. In contrast, the southern hemisphere receives more direct sunlight during its summer months, resulting in warmer temperatures.
Does anyone have a definitive answer to the question whether there is more sunlight at the north pole than at the south pole?
There are seasonal differences in the amount and directness of daylight (e.g., the first day of summer always has the longest period of daylight, and the first day of winter the least amount of daylight). With regard to the Northern Hemisphere, at winter solstice(approximately December 21), Earth's North Pole is pointed away from the Sun, and sunlight falls more directly on the Southern Hemisphere. At the summer solstice (approximately June 21), Earth's North Pole is tilted toward the Sun, and sunlight falls more directly on the Northern Hemisphere At the intervening vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the both the North and South Pole are oriented so that they have the same angular relationship to the Sun and, therefore, receive equal illumination.
Why do mosses and lichens grow better on north-facing sides of gravestones?
Because the north side of a gravestone receives the least amount of sunlight. Moss needs lots of moisture to survive and reproduce. Sunlight will dry it out. However, because of the earths tilt, moss will tend to grow on the south side in the Southern Hemisphere
Why do mosses and lichens grow better on north facing sides of graveston?
Because the north side of a gravestone receives the least amount of sunlight. Moss needs lots of moisture to survive and reproduce. Sunlight will dry it out. However, because of the earths tilt, moss will tend to grow on the south side in the southern hemisphere
