The lowest level permanent snow reaches during the summer is called the snow line. In most cases, the snow line is about 12,000 feet in the Northern Hemisphere.

No, I think
It is day when you are facing the sun, and night when you are not. The seasons depend upon the maximum angle of the sun to the earth during the day. When the sun reaches it's zenith (highest point), that is the summer solstice--the day on which summer begins. Summer ends when the day and night have shortened to equal lengths--the equinox (equal night). Solstice in the northern hemisphere is, incidentally, when the morning sun appears to "stand still" on the horizon. Every day in the spring the sun rises further and further south each day, reaching its southernmost point at the solstice. The further north you go, the lower the sun falls on the horizon. At 45 degrees north, the sun reaches a height of only 45 degrees at high noon on the summer solstice. The solstices and equinoxes, incidentally, mark the boundaries of the four seasons. That's why we say summer begins long after it has gotten hot, and winter doesn't begin until December 21st or thereabouts, even though it is cold and snowy long before then.
Most metals do.
The solstice is the two times in the year when the sun reaches its highest and lowest points. These coincide with the beginning of summer and winter.
The sun is at its minimum declination during the winter solstice around December 21st, when it appears lowest in the sky for the year. It reaches its maximum declination during the summer solstice around June 21st, when it appears highest in the sky for the year.
true, they are. ramon C.
The continents with the lowest populations are Antarctica, Australia, South America, and North America. Antarctica has no permanent residents, but at any one time there are around 4,000 scientists in the summer and 1,000 in the winter.
The density of air is lowest in the summer, because warmer air is less dense. (the molecules are in greater motion, and are forced farther apart)
The sun reaches its highest elevation at the moment that summer begins.

The first day of summer is known as the summer solstice, while the first day of winter is called the winter solstice. These solstices occur when the sun reaches its highest or lowest position in the sky, resulting in the longest or shortest day of the year.
There is no permanent population in Antarctica. Temporarily, up to 4,000 workers and scientists may be on the continent during the summer months. During winter, this number may be 1,000 or less.
The Earth reaches its greatest distance from the Sun during the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere. Though it may seem counterintuitive, the distance between the Earth and the Sun varies due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit, with the Earth being farthest from the Sun during the summer months.
There is no circus in Bangalore. Occasionally, specially during summer, some circus companies run their shows in the city, but there are none of a permanent nature.
