In the winter, the hemisphere you are in is tilted away from the sun. As a result, sunlight strikes the Earth's surface at a shallow angle. As a result, the rays are more spread out on the ground, and less energy is delivered to a given area and there is less solar heating.

In the summer, your hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, with the opposite effect

Verkhoyansk in eastern Siberia holds the record for the coldest city in the world. Verkhoyansk and the surrounding region of Siberia is often colder than the North Pole. This is due to the fact that it is isolated from warm air currants by mountain ranges. Conversely, during the summer, Verkhoyansk can experience extremely warm temperatures . This is also due to the lack of air currents.

Verkhoyansk is cold because it is in the north of the northern hemisphere, near the Arctic circle in Siberia.

How does a coil boiler generally work?

Coil boilers work by having many steel or copper pipes surrounding the area to be heated, these pipes then have extremely hot steam running through them creating the boiling temperatures.


Is in 50 degrees hot or cold?

50 Kelvin would be extremely cold, you would die almost instantly (approximately -370oFahrenheit). 50o Celsius is extremely warm but bearable, about 122o Fahrenheit. 50o Fahrenheit, depending on who you are and the average temperatures one experiences can be pleasant or chilly, although doubtful "hot" or "cold".


How can you get water to boil at 170 degrees c?

Water at ambient atmospheric pressure boils at 100C. One way of raising the boiling point is to raise the surrounding pressure. If you raise the pressure surrounding the water to about 93 psi above atmospheric, it will boil at about 170C. Do not try this at home! Boiling water at this pressure is extremely dangerous and can severely burn you.


What is the thermal effects of electric current and its application?

Electrical current occurs when electrons move. As the electrons through a medium, such as a wire, they experience friction, which produces heat. The fast the electrons are moving, the more friction they experience and the more heat is generated. Typically, this heat energy dissipates and is not useful. Electrical heating applicances sned current through highly resistant materials to cause high amounts of heat through friction. This is the basic premise of an electric stove range. Super-conduction is when electrons flow without any friction and therefore keep all of their energy as electricity. This can happen in certain materials at extremely low temperatures.

Is helium a gas all the time?

No, helium is not a gas all the time. At extremely high temperatures it becomes a plasma, and at extremely low temperatures it becomes a liquid. It does not have a solid phase, however.
