What latitude receives the most direct rays of the sun?
The sun's rays are strongest at 0 degrees latitude.
Which circle of latitude describes the most northerly latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead at noon?
The Tropic of Cancer ... roughly 23.5 degrees north ... is the most northerly latitude where the sun can ever appear directly overhead.
What circle of latitude describes the most southerly latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead at noon?
Tropic of Capricorn
What is sun-heated?
It means something that is heated by the sun or left out in the sun to dry.
Why are latitude lines not used as the basis in establishing time zones?
Because time is based on the Earth's rotation which is from west to east, so that the Sun appears to move from east to west. Latitude lines run around the Earth east and west, so the sun doesn't cross them as it does longitude lines.
Climate zones are the result of differences in?
solar energy received by the Earth's surface due to variations in latitude, leading to distinct temperature and weather patterns. These differences create the various climate zones found across the planet, such as polar, temperate, and tropical zones.
How would the northern hemisphere look in the high latitude zone on December?
how a December day would look like in the high latitude zones, both Northern and Southern Hemispheres
Why do places with the same latitude have different climates?
The biggest differences are the differing amount of sunlight. In low latitude (tropical) zones, there isn't a whole lot of difference between the amount of sunlight each day in the summer and in the winter, and the noonday sun comes pretty much straight down. There isn't a lot of difference between the seasons. In mid-latitude (temperate) zones, there's some fluctuation with longer days in the summer and shorter days in the winter. The noonday sun is lower in the sky during the fall, winter and summer seasons, and seasons can be pretty different. In high-latitude (arctic) areas, there may be no sunlight at all, and when the Sun is up, it's pretty low on the horizon and doesn't provide as much light and heat as in the other zones.
In how many days does the sun to rotate around its poles?
Since the sun is not a solid body, different latitude zones on it rotate at different rates,so the answer is a range of rotation periods.The range is between 25 and 36 days, for different latitudes on the sun's surface.
When do the occure?
The appearance of aurora in the evening skies rise and fall in frequency with sunspot numbers, and there are maxima in March and September when the Earth in its orbit is in a better location with respect to the Sun to get 'blasted' by solar storms in the mid-latitude zones of the Sun.
The sun is directly overhead at 23.5 degrees north latitude in?
The sun is directly overhead at the summer solstice at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5oN). This is as the most northernly latitude which has the sun directly overhead at any time of the year. A similar case happen at the winter solstice at the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5oS).
The atmospheric gases in the thermosphere are heated by what?
The atmospheric gases in the thermosphere are primarily heated by solar radiation. This region of the atmosphere is closest to the sun, so it receives the most intense solar energy.
