Between March 20th and September 20th (or there abouts) the northern hemisphere receives the majority of the sunlight, while during September 20th to March 20th, the Southern Hemisphere receives more light. This is due to the earths tilt.
What else can I help you with?
When the north pole tilts away from the sun where do the most direct rays strike?
When the North Pole tilts away from the sun, the most direct rays strike the Southern Hemisphere, closer to the Tropic of Capricorn. This results in winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
Where do the most direct rays strike the Earth on June 21 the Spring Equinox?
June 20-21 is a very important day for our planet and its relationship with the sun. June 20-21 is one of two solstices, days when the rays of the sun directly strike one of the two tropical latitude lines. June 21 marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and simultaneously heralds the beginning of winter in the southern hemisphere. In 2012, the summer solstice occurs and summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere on June 20, at 7:09 p.m
Where does The rays of the sun strike earth most directly?
The rays of the sun strike the Earth most directly at the equator, where sunlight is nearly perpendicular to the surface. This results in more concentrated heat and higher temperatures in these regions.
What season is it when the earths northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun?
If the northern axis or North Pole is tilted directly towards the sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. If your talking about the angle of the planet when the Northern Hemisphere is receiving direct rays, its summer. If you are asking what the Northern Hemisphere season it is when planet Earth is closest to the Sun, it's winter.
Identify where the sun's rays strike earth most directly and least directly?
The sun's rays strike Earth most directly at the equator, where sunlight is more concentrated due to the curvature of the Earth and the angle of incidence. The sun's rays strike Earth least directly at the poles, where sunlight is spread out over a larger surface area and travels through a thicker layer of atmosphere, resulting in lower intensity.
When the sun is rays are shining directly on the northern hemisphere what are they doing in the southern hemisphere?
The Earth is close to a sphere so there is but one single point on the sphere that has the Sun directly overhead at any one time. When this point is in the Northern hemisphere (roughly from the 21 of March to the 20 of September) the Southern hemisphere is less directly hit by the rays of the Sun and experiences somewhat cooler seasons than when the rays of the Sun strike more vertically.
When the sun is rays are shining directly on the southern hemisphere what are they doing in the northern hemisphere?
The Earth is close to a sphere so there is but one single point on the sphere that has the Sun directly overhead at any one time. When this point is in the Northern hemisphere (roughly from the 21 of March to the 20 of September) the Southern Hemisphere is less directly hit by the rays of the Sun and experiences somewhat cooler seasons than when the rays of the Sun strike more vertically.
What are the suns rays on September 23rd?
On September 23rd, the sun's rays are directly over the equator, marking the beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere. This day is known as the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.
When the north pole tilts away from the sun where do the most direct rays strike?
When the North Pole tilts away from the sun, the most direct rays strike the Southern Hemisphere, closer to the Tropic of Capricorn. This results in winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
Are the sun's rays striking the Northern or Southern hemisphere the most during the summer?
well if you say it that way, it depend which hemisphere you live in. We live in the northern hemisphere, so the sun rays strike to the southern hemisphere.
Why does south America get longer hours of daylight in December than in the UK?
UK is in the northern hemisphere while south Africa is in the southern hemisphere. during december the suns rays fall directly on the southern hemisphere while northern hemisphere gets slant rays hence UK is colder in december than Africa.
When are the sun's rays most directly over one of the topics?
At either of the tropics the sun's rays are most directly overhead at mid-day in mid summer.
When do the suns most direct rays strike in the western hemisphere?
During the daytime.
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)
How hot does the Equator get?
As we all know that equator is the imaginary line which divides earth into two hemisphere, northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. The sun rays fall directly on the equator as a reason it stays hot the whole year.

Where the sun's rays strike earth most directly and least directly?
Directly is near the equator. Least directly is at the poles.
