Does fall and spring have the same amount of sunlight?
yes
Why not all earth surface receive the same amount of radiation?
i don't know i asked the same question but no answer:(
How many days of sun does New England get in a year?
AnswerEvery place on the earth receives the same amount of sunlight each year. At the extremes, the North Pole gets 6 months of sunlight between the spring and autumn equinoxes while the South Pole is getting 6 months of darkness. So, every city in North America gets the same amount of sunlight whether or not it is nearer to the Equator or the North Pole, which is six months of daylight and six months of nighttime.
What location on earth receives most direct sunlight?
On a yearly basis the Earth receives the same amount of sunlight on its total surface. The distribution of light to dark periods is different by latitude and time of year
Not all places on the earth receive the same amount of direct sunlight because of?
the tilt of the earths axis

Do South America and North America receive the same amount of sunlight?
No
What areas do not have seasons because they receive the same amount of sunlight everyday?
The equator
Does Florida and Oregon receive the same amount of sunlight on any given day?
YES
What happens when both hemispheres receive the same amount of sunlight?
The vernal or autumnal equinox happens.
What causes the average temps of land water at the same latitude?
The reason places at the same latitude tend to be around the same temperature is because the duration and angle of the sun are the same. Places at the same latitude receive about the same amount amount of radiation.
How much sunlight is in a desert?
there is always sunlight everyday every night through day.
Why does sunlight not fall equally in all cities?
All areas of the Earth receive the same amount of sunlight over the course of a full year. However, the cities at latitudes nearer to poles receive less energy because of the shallower angle of the rays. The effect of the solar radiation is also less for places with greater cloud cover, especially summer cloud cover.

Explain Why not all places on the earth receive the same amount of direct sunlight?
The Earth is tilted on its axis by 23.5˚. This means each part does not receive the same amount of sunlight because the sun will not always be shining in the same place. For example, take both equinoxes and both solstices. On both equinoxes the sun is positioned over the equator (0˚N/S) which means this is the time where sunlight is the same. However, on the solstices, the sun is positioned over 23.5˚ N/S. If it is the Summer Solstice, the sun is positioned over 23.5˚N, and 23.5˚ S if it is the Winter Solstice (Notice the degree of Earth's tilt and the latitude degrees on the solstices). That means if it is Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the sunlight is directed more in that area (which also explains why when it's summer in the north, it's winter in the south) and vice versa.
