If earth's axis were tilted 45 degrees at what latitudes would the sun be directly overhead on the solstices and the equinoxes?
If Earth's axis were tilted 45 degrees, the sun would be directly overhead at latitudes of 45 degrees north on the summer solstice, 45 degrees south on the winter solstice, and would pass through the equator on both equinoxes.
How often does the sun shine directly overhead at the equator?
Never. The sun never goes past about 23 degrees north or south of the equator.
Where in the world are the days and nights equal?
Days and nights are equal at the equator, an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This phenomenon occurs during the equinoxes, which happen twice a year, around March 20-21 and September 22-23.
If you cut off the north pole of a magnet what happens to the remaining part?
it becomes a magnet in it s own right with north and south poles
What happens if a bar magnet is suspended vertically?
If a bar magnet is suspended vertically, it will align itself in the north-south direction due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of the magnet will point towards the geographic north and the south pole towards the geographic south.
Where does the noon sun fall during both equinoxes?
During the equinoxes, when the Sun is at its highest, it will be at a distance from the zenith which is the same as your geographical latitude, but in the opposite direction. For example, if you live 50 degrees north of the equator, the Sun will be 50 degrees south of the zenith at noon.
What is the latitude of the the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on the September and March Equinoxes?
At the time of the equinoxes, the sun's rays would be nominally tangent to the Earth at the north and south poles. Those are 90 degrees north and south of the equator respectively. Also I think at either 23.5 degrees north or 23.5 degrees south at sunrise and sunset.
Does the sun move north or south at the equator?
The sun is north of the equator for 6 months every year, and south of the equator during the other 6 months. In order to accomplish these gyrations, it crosses the equator twice a year ... on March 21 moving north, and on September 22 moving south.
When are days equal in length for both north and south hemispheres?
The spring and autumn equinoxes, when day is equal to night in both hemispheres.
Where does the noon sun fall during the equinox?
During the equinoxes, when the Sun is at its highest, it will be at a distance from the zenith which is the same as your geographical latitude, but in the opposite direction. For example, if you live 50 degrees north of the equator, the Sun will be 50 degrees south of the zenith at noon.
What latitude is the sun directly overhead at noon on the equinoxes and solstice's?
March and September Equinoxes: the Equator (zero latitude)June Solstice: Tropic of Cancer, 23.5 degrees north latitudeDecember Solstice: Tropic of Capricorn, 23.5 degrees south latitude
If earth's axis were tilted 45 degrees at what latitudes would the sun be directly overhead on the solstices and the equinoxes?
If Earth's axis were tilted 45 degrees, the sun would be directly overhead at latitudes of 45 degrees north on the summer solstice, 45 degrees south on the winter solstice, and would pass through the equator on both equinoxes.
At solar noon where is the sun locatedcompass direction if you are standing at equator?
It depends on what the date is. During the European summer ( or ozzie winter ) the sun will be north. During ozzie summer sun is south. At the equinoxes the sun will be dead overhead and won't give any indication of where north is.
Did North Carolina fight for the North or the South during the civil war?
The Confederate South.
When are the hours of day light and darkness equal?
At the north and south poles . . . all the time Everywhere else . . . on the occasion of the equinoxes, March 21 and September 21.
How solstices and equinoxes different?
Equinoxes are the two points among the stars where the sun's apparent annual path crosses the celestial equator. Solstices are the two points among the stars where the sun's apparent annual path reaches its extremes, north and south of the celestial equator.
What reaction happens when you mix carbon and magnesium?
you get gravity because your holding them together tightly NO. North-North Repel South-South Repel North-South Attract South-North Attract
