How much light is falling on the northern hemisphere compare to the southern hemisphere?

The amount of sunlight reaching the northern and southern hemispheres varies throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. During the summer solstice, the northern hemisphere receives more direct sunlight, while the southern hemisphere experiences winter. Conversely, during the winter solstice, the southern hemisphere enjoys more direct sunlight, with the northern hemisphere in winter. Overall, the distribution of light is not uniform and changes seasonally, but on average, both hemispheres receive roughly equal amounts of sunlight over the course of a year.


What's the difference between a solstice and an equinox?

A solstice occurs when the sun is farthest north or south of the equator, resulting in the longest or shortest day of the year. An equinox happens when the sun is directly above the equator, causing day and night to be nearly equal in length.


What month does the North Pole receive the most light?

What is the name of the white navigation light located at The stern of the craft?

The white navigation light located at the stern of a vessel is called the "stern light." It is part of a boat's navigation lighting system and is typically required to be illuminated when the vessel is underway at night or during periods of reduced visibility. The stern light helps other vessels determine the direction and orientation of the craft.

When is solstice are the light and dark equal?

On a solstice, it is only at the equator that the hours of light and dark are equal. At other parts, they would be different with one of the Poles experiencing 24 hours of daylight and the other Pole experiencing no daylight. If it is the June solstice, then it is the North Pole with 24 hours of daylight and the South Pole with none, while it is the opposite in the December solstice. It is at the equinox that the amount of daylight and darkness hours are equal around the world.
