Because the equator is closer to the sun year round
What else can I help you with?
Why do all places near the equator have 12 hour days year round?
All places near the equator have 12 hour days year round because the Earth's axis is not tilted relative to its orbit around the sun at the equator. This means that the sunlight is evenly distributed throughout the year, resulting in equal lengths of day and night. As you move away from the equator, towards the poles, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes variations in day length throughout the year, resulting in longer days in summer and shorter days in winter.
Which geographic region has 12-hour days and a 12-hour nights every day of the year?
the equator
How many hour are in a day how many hour are in a night?
Depends on the time of year and place. When you are at the equator, the days are exactly 12 hours and the nights are exactly 12 hours.
How many times does the hour hand go round the clock in one week?
Every day the hour had travels once round the clock in the morning and one round the clock in the afternoon, so it travels twice round the clock in 1 day. There are 7 days in a week, thus the hour hand travels 7 x 2 = 14 times round the clock in a week.
How long does it take to walk around the world at 3 miles per hout at the equator?
To calculate how long it would take to walk around the world at 3 miles per hour at the equator, you need to determine the circumference of the Earth at the equator, which is approximately 24,901 miles. At a walking pace of 3 miles per hour, it would take about 8,300 hours or 345 days to walk around the world.
How long does it take to drive around earth's equator?
If you were driving 60 miles per hour nonstop, it would take you approximately 98.243 days to travel around the globe.
How many miles does the world rotate per an hour?
The earth's circumference at the Equator is 24,902 miles. It makes a complete rotation in 24 hours, so divide the Equator's length by 24. The answer is that, at the Equator, the Earth rotates at 1,037 miles per hour.
The trip took 317 days What was the average speed of the sailboat in miles per hour Round to the nearest tenth of a mile hour?
We're missing a value, we'll need the distance traveled to determine that.
How fast does venus rotate or revolve?
Venus takes about 243 Earth days to complete a full rotation, which is very slow by planet standards. Venus has an equatorial circumference of 23,628 miles, which gives us a tangential rotational speed of about 4 miles per hour at the equator. The speed slows away from the equator in proportion to the sine of the latitude. By comparison, the tangential speed at Earth's equator is more than 1,000 miles per hour.
Where does earth's greatest speed of rotation occur?
The Earth's greatest speed of rotation occurs at the equator, where it moves at a speed of about 1670 kilometers per hour (1037 miles per hour) due to the larger circumference at the equator compared to the poles.
How many days does it take Dan to walk across the world?
Assuming this Dan is walking around the earth at the equator, he can walk on water, doesn't sleep or stop for any reason and he's doing 5 miles an hour. He should return to his starting point in about 207.51 days. On a more realistic note though Dan will probably only average about 3 miles per hour and sleep 8 hours a day. Still assuming he's traveling along the equator and can walk on water it will now take him 518.78 days.
How fast does the world spin in 1 hour in miles per hour?
The Earth spins approximately 1,000 miles per hour at the equator. This speed decreases as you move closer to the poles.
