What else can I help you with?
What planet spins on nearly a horizontal axis?
Uranus spins on a nearly horizontal axis, tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun. This unique orientation causes extreme seasonal variations on the planet as different hemispheres receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout its orbit.
What is the weather like on earth?
well, it depends on where you live. if you live in the Northern hemisphere it will be cold and if you live in the Southern hemisphere it will be pretty hot
Why don't people who live in the southern hemisphere feel upside down?
Gravity pulls all things toward the center of the earth-- as a result, everyone on earth only feels upside down if their head is pointing toward the ground or they are high/drunk on something. North and South are just directions given to indicate the intersection of earth and its axes at the extreme edges of the earth. North is considered "up" simply because more people live in the northern hemisphere and most people like to think that they are "up." In fact, people in the southern hemisphere, especially Australia, have maps that we would consider upside-down, where north is down and south is up.
What zone receives the least sun?
The polar zones, located near the North and South Poles, receive the least amount of sunlight due to their extreme latitudes and the tilt of the Earth's axis. This results in long periods of darkness during winter months.
Which country has no sunshine for six months?
During polar winters, the country that experiences no sunshine for six months is Antarctica. Areas within the Antarctic Circle are subject to continuous darkness for an extended period due to their extreme southern location.
Which continent is located in all four hemispheres?
South America is in three hemispheres. South America is fully within the western hemisphere. It is mostly within the southern hemisphere and only the northern most part, north of the Amazon River, is in the northern hemisphere.
In which hemisphere is the Gobi Desert?
The Gobi Desert is in the northern and western hemispheres. It is on the continent of Asia and covers much of China. Unlike most deserts, IT IS COLD. The Gobi Desert is actually located in the northern and eastern hemispheres. It covers parts of northern and northwestern China as well as southern Mongolia. This desert experiences extreme weather along the lines of sandstorms, snowstorms, and winds. Rapid temperature changes by as much as 58 degrees Fahrenheit or 32 degrees Celsius can occur within a 24 hour period.
Where are the frigid zones located?
Frigid zone lies at the extreme Northen hemispheres (the Artic) and extreme Souther hemisphers (the Antarctic) of earth
What creates a fjord?
A fjord is created by the movement of glaciers. They are narrow valleys that are filled with water and usually found in the extreme northern and southern hemispheres such as in Norway, Greenland and New Zealand.
Where was Buddhism developed?
Northern India/ Extreme southern Nepal
What degrees of longitude is the semiarid climate found?
Semiarid climate is typically found between 5 to 30 degrees latitude in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. However, longitude does not directly determine climate patterns as they are primarily influenced by latitude, proximity to large bodies of water, and topography.
Which hemisphere is antarctica not in?
Antarctica is in the Southern Hemisphere, not the Northern Hemisphere. As well, parts of it are in the Eastern and parts in the Western Hemisphere.Antarctica is located in three hemispheres: Southern, Eastern and Western.Southern, eastern and western hemispheres.
What is the name of the imaginary line that separates two hemispheres and runs from north to south?
The imaginary lines that run from north to south are called lines of longitude. The most significant one is the international date line, which divides the extreme east from the extreme west.
What parts of the world do ferns most likely grow?
ferns are leafy vascular plants that grow in moist areas under forest canopy. With the passage of time, ferns have evolved and some can tolerate and thrive in places with extreme drought and heat .
What would be the effect on the climate in the northern hemisphere if the tilt of earth increased to 24.5?
An increase in Earth's tilt to 24.5 degrees would likely lead to more extreme seasons in the northern hemisphere. Summers could be hotter and winters colder, potentially leading to more intense weather patterns and changes in precipitation distribution. This change in tilt could also impact the duration of daylight and influence polar ice melt and sea level rise.
What continents does the pass through?
The equator passes through northern South America, central Africa, and extreme southern islands of Asia.
Can you sunbathe at night?
Yes. If you have a sun lamp, or if the sun shines during the night as it does in the extreme northern or southern zones (such as Alaska), during the summer.
