By locating the north celestial pole how can you determine your latitude?
The altitude of the celestial pole from the horizon actually tells you your latitude. So If I locate Polaris, the star that our earth's celestial pole points to and I see it's 40 degrees above the horizon to the north, I know that my latitude is 40 degrees north. Think about the extremes, if your on the equator looking for the celestial pole, you would see it on the northern horizon correct? (0 degrees) Now think of where the celestial pole would be pointing when on the north pole. You guessed it, straight up! (90 degrees)
In the Northern Hemisphere the westerly winds blow from the southwest and drive the water beneath them to the?
If westerly winds blow from the southwest, they would drive water beneath them to the north. If the winds blew directly west, the wind would drive water currents directly east.
What would happen to atmospheric water if Earth were mostly covered with land?
there would be no winds in the southern hemisphere.
What is a line parallel to the earths surface?
That would be latitude or longitude.
What type of maps would you use to show the states of the US?
A western hemisphere map
What is the hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during the winter solstice?
Assuming the observer is in the North, then the southern hemisphere would be tilted towards the sun during the Winter Solstice in December. However, for observers in the Southern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice would occur in June, and the northern hemisphere would be tilted towards the sun.
Which is the shortest day in a year?
In the northern hemisphere the shortest day would be the 21st of December.
What is the distinction of a December 21 day?
It is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, when the northern hemisphere is tipped furthest from the sun, resulting in the shortest amount of daylight in the year in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, it would be the day with the longest amount of daylight.
What is the latitude of the the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on June 21?
The tangent ray refers to either the northernmost or southernmost hemisphere where the vertical rays refers to direct sun. During the June 21 solstice, the latitude rays in the northern hemisphere would be 66.5 degrees N (Arctic Circle)
Is the tropic of Capricorn in the northern or southern of the hemisphere?
Roughly 23.5 degrees south declination.The Tropic of Capricorn is in the southernhemisphere.Its northern hemisphere equivalent is the Tropic of Cancer.In addition, half of it would be found in the eastern hemisphere, and the otherhalf in the western hemisphere.The southern hemisphere. The Tropic of Capricorn is the circle of latitude that contains the subsolar point on the December solstice. It is thus the southernmost latitude where the Sun can be directly overhead. Its northern equivalent is the Tropic of Cancer.south
Is there more sun on December 8 or December 21?
In the northern hemisphere the 8th of December would have a little more daylight than the 21st of December. In the southern hemisphere the 8th of December would have a little less daylight than the 21st of December.
What is the altitude of Polaris in the northern hemisphere?
The altitude of Polaris in the northern hemisphere is the same as the latitude at that point on Earth. For example, if you are at 40˚N, then the altitude of Polaris would be 40.Hope I answered your question! :)
When does the longest day and shortest night occur?
For the Northern Hemisphere that would be on or about December 21st
Why does the southern hemisphere experience winter and summer solstice in different times than of the northern hemisphere?
As everyone knows the Earth tilts on it's axis at the angle of 66 and half degrees. On 21st December the Earth tilts on it's axis so that the sun would hit the southern hemisphere and then the southern hemisphere would have winter while the northern hemisphere would have winter. So when the sun's rays hit the northern hemisphere then the northern hemisphere would have summer while the southern hemisphere would have winter.
What hemispheres is kyrgyzstan?
It is in the northern hemisphere and would also be in the eastern hemisphere.
What are the seasons in the southern hemisphere?
They are "opposite" of the northern hemisphere. When it is summer in the north, it is winter in the southern hemisphere. Therefore fall in the northern would be spring in the southern, winter in the N would be summer in the S, spring in the N would be fall in the south.Seasons in the Southern Hemisphere:Summer: December - March (northern winter)Fall: March - June (northern spring)Winter: June - September (northern summer)Spring: September - December (northern fall)
What is the coldest month in desert biome?
