No. Near the equator the sun is always very high in the sky so freezing temperatures can not occur.
If the Earth would stop having seasons all of a sudden it'd probably be a disaster for a lot of plants and animals that have developed to expect and need seasons to live. But if Earth hadn't had any season to start with all had probably been perfectly OK. The area closest to the equator hasn't got much in the way of seasons as it is, and they do just fine.
Yes, Kilimanjaro is just south of the equator
There are 3 seasons of h20 just add water out.
There are four seasons, namely; 1. spring 2. winter 3. Autumn 4. summer we need seasons because in every season has a wearter and things happen like in summmer it is sooo hot.
Sudan is north of the Equator; but very close to it.The Equator passes through Uganda which is just south of Sudan.
There are still 4, its just not a big difference between the seasons. . a08Deevic88 Join Me At www.ETangerineE.webs.com
The poles recieve less solar energy because they are farther from the equator than other places. The equator is the warmest place, it's where the sun gives off its most solar energy. If you have been to the Carribian you notice how it's hot and summer-like. Places by the equator don't really have seasons. Just summer weather. The poles, on the other hand, are far away from the equator, and the sun.
A 'real' winter is whatever winter you've got, in some places there is snow on the ground and in other places it's just cold and nasty. Other winter seasons, for instance around the equator, are very mild.
Singapore is on the equator so it has no seasons just wet and dry.
No. On Earth, the occurrance of season is highly dependent on the distance of a location from the equator. For instance, many places in North America have four different season (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter), but to varying degrees. 'Winter' in southern Texas and Hawaii scarcely ever sees snow, much to the effect of what northerners would call a mild fall. In places like Ecuador (very close to the equator), there is basicall one season: Summer. It does not get relatively 'cold' there in comparison to other places in the world, it just goes from hot to 'less hot'. Also, im places like Antarctica, there is just winter all year around, with varying degrees of cold. Overall, different countries may conceive various parts of the year as 'seasons', but in reality the weather in which they experience differs upon location. Distance from the equator is a large factor, but there are also other variables such as altitude and geography. Hope this helps.
Basically, yes - by definition. Except when you are exactly at the equator. However, please note that close to the equator, the effects on the length of day and on the weather are less pronounced than if you go farther from the equator.
Yes, racism affects Britain just as much as it affects other places around the world.
Countries at or near the equator DO have seasons. It's just that these seasons are not represented necessarily by TEMPERATURE CHANGES. We tend to think of seasons based on temperature. Winter, cool - spring, warming - summer, hot - fall, cooling. That is, we tend to define seasons ASTRONOMICALLY around the exchange of solar radiation - the absorption and emission of solar energy by the earth. In this definition, it is true that there aren't seasons. There are, however, METEOROLOGICAL SEASONS in the tropics. These are reflected by other atmospheric happenings, such as wet seasons and dry seasons. Astronomical seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth's axis. Northern and Southern hemisphere's each tilt toward and away from the sun during their respective summers and winters much more then areas around the equator where the angle remains much closer to perpendicular and more constant. As a result, areas ON THE EQUATOR receive 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night every day. Areas at lower latitudes & NEAR THE EQUATOR receive much closer to 12 & 12 then areas north and south of the equator. The source of the earth's warmth is the sun. During daylight hours, the earth ABSORBS solar energy (warms) and during non-daylight hours, the earth EMITS energy (cools). If the daylight and non-daylight periods are always equal, then on balance, there is no NET warming or cooling from day to day, and so, in terms of TEMPERATURE, there is little change and so there are no seasons. .
France just like other places around the world has 4 seasons. They are spring, winter, fall and summer. Fall is one of the shortest seasons in France.
More or less. The largest island of the UK - Great Britain - sits between 50 and 59 degrees north of the equator. Therefore - its just north of the half-way point (45 degrees) between the equator and the north pole.
Somalia.Sudan and Ethiopia are north of the equator, but Somalia extends south, just barely to the equator, which passes through Uganda, Kenya, and Lake Victoria in eastern Africa.Please look at a map of Africa and see where those places are.
Yes. Wild Britain Is The Perfect Place It Has Just The Right Foods Needed And Has The Perfect Places To Build There Nests
