32 degrees north latitude18 degrees west longitude 12 degree east 70 degrees south latitude which of the two locations is farther from the equator?
The first one is much closer. The higher the latitude number (N or S), the farther the point is from the equator. The second location 70°S 12°E is more than twice as far from the equator as 32°N 18°W.
What measures east or west of the equator?
The equator circles the earth in the east/west direction, so there's no such thing as 'east' or 'west' of it. The are measured in degrees Celsius. I am a professor at West Virginia University and I would love to teach other children about geography, because that is what I teach. Latitude is never more than 90 degrees. The equator is zero, 90 degrees north of the equator puts you at the north pole, and 90 degrees south of it puts you at the south pole.
Does equator pass through allahabad?
No, the equator is more to the south of India.
Why do the poles equator heat differently?
The equator is closer to the Sun.The sunlight falls directly through the atmosphere and onto the Earth's surface, and is warmer.At the poles the sunlight is on a slant and has further to travel so cools down faster.
Why are climates in the polar zones extremely cold?
The sunlight comes in contact with the equator more directly than it does at the polar zones where the sunlight is spread out.
Can the equator receive more of the suns energy?
yes
What is the effect of the sun equator receiving more of the suns energy?
1. The equator receives more of the Sun's energy. b. air near the equator is warmer.
Why is it hottter on the equator?
Suns rays are more vertical, hence stronger in their effect.
Why is the sun's intensity different at different area of the earth?
It depends on how much atmosphere it has to go through, the further away FM the equator you are the more the earth curves so the suns rays enter at an angle, meaning that it has to go through more atmosphere. Whereas on the equator the suns rays travel strait so there is less atmosphere to go though, make the suns rays more intense
Why does the equator receives more of the suns energy?
The light at the equator hits the earth perpendicular to the surface to the earth. The further you are from the equator, the light comes in at an angle closer and closer to parallel. The closer to parallel the light comes in at, the more of it is reflected, so it receives less energy than the perpendicular light at the equator.
When suns light hits a surface of the earth more directly as the area around the equator what happens?
the earth would probably explode
How hot is 5000 degrees?
5000 degrees is very hot and is more then atleast maybe more then lava about near quarter or halfway to the suns 10,000 or so and is cooler then Half the suns heat.
How does the suns ray hit the Bahamas?
The Bahamas are just north of Cuba, still near the Equator. So the Sun's rays hit them more directly than at any where further north or south of the Equator.
Is a person closer to the equator in Argentina or southern Spain?
People in most of Argentina are closer to the equator than people in southern Spain. Spain is between 37 and 43 degrees north of the equator. Only 20% of Argentina is more than 37 degrees south of the equator.
Why do areas farthest from the equator have the coldest climates?
The further south or north from the equator, the shallower the angle of the sun's rays hitting the earth's surface. This means that the rays travel through the atmosphere further and so have time to cool. The sun's rays hit the equator dead on, concentrated, but they hit the North and South pole at an angle, so the heat is spread out over a larger area.
Are all hot deserts near the equator?
32 degrees north latitude18 degrees west longitude 12 degree east 70 degrees south latitude which of the two locations is farther from the equator?
The first one is much closer. The higher the latitude number (N or S), the farther the point is from the equator. The second location 70°S 12°E is more than twice as far from the equator as 32°N 18°W.
