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
The sun's radiation hits the Earth most directly at the?
If we are talking about solar heating it warms mostly the equator. If we are talking about actual radiation we are least protected from it at the North and South pole. So even though the radiation itself may not be directed at the poles that is where a person would experience it the most.
How much of the overall sky is north of the celestial equator?
Half. The other half is south of the celestial equator.It depends on the where you're looking from (at the equator it is half and half). If you are at latitude 30 degrees north, then about 2/3 of "your" sky is north of the celestial equator (30 degrees north means that you are one-third of the way north from the equator to the North Pole.)
How are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles different?
The Arctic Circle is north of the Equator; the Antarctic Circle is south of the Equator.
How many degrees north or south of the equator at noon for the March Equinox?
At the equinox (either one of them) the Sun is directly above the equator, neither north nor south.
Areas farther north or south of the equator receive from sunlight?
Areas farther north or south of the equator reception of the sun depends with the position of the sun at the time.
Why does the equator receive more radation than areas to the north or south?
The tilt of the axis and the curvature of the earth.
In June why does the outer edge of the atmosphere at the equator receive less solar radiation than both the north pole and 40 degrees north latitude?
It may have fewer hours of daylight, but it certainly doesn't receive less radiation.
Would you receive less solar radiation if you moved from the equator toward the north pole?
Yes. You would also have exactly the same experienceif you moved toward the south pole instead.
Why are places with the temperature found at the equator?
Actually the warmest are found closer to the tropics (23° North and South of the Equator). This is because those areas get sunlight directly overhead where the radiation of the Sun passes through the least atmosphere and has the greatest energy.
Why are the places with temperature found at the equator?
Actually the warmest are found closer to the tropics (23° North and South of the Equator). This is because those areas get sunlight directly overhead where the radiation of the Sun passes through the least atmosphere and has the greatest energy.
Water evaporates more from areas near the equator or ares near the north and south poles?
Water evaporates more from areas near the equator.
Where are the earth's polar areas?
The earth's polar areas are at ARCTIC to the north and ANTARCTIC to the south of the equator.
What areas are farthest away from the equator called?
The North and South poles
Why are the places with high temperature found at the equator?
Actually the warmest are found closer to the tropics (23° North and South of the Equator). This is because those areas get sunlight directly overhead where the radiation of the Sun passes through the least atmosphere and has the greatest energy.
What part of the Earth receives the greatest amount sun?
areas between 23.5 degrees north and south latitude
Where is a northern hemisphere located?
The northern hemisphere is the half of the Earth that is north of the Equator. It includes parts of North America, Europe, Asia, and most of Africa. The northern hemisphere experiences distinct seasons due to its tilt towards the sun.
