What is the angle of the sun above you on a summer solstice?
the earths shape is sphere.
What day would it be in midwinter for someone in the southern hemisphere?
June 21st, which the Summer solstice for those of us in the Northern hemisphere, is the winter solstice for those in the southern hemisphere. Their summer is our winter, their spring is our autumn, and so on. This is due to the ~24 degree tilt of the earth's axis of rotation, which stays at a static angle throughout earth's revolution around the sun. This angle is responsible for the amount of solar radiation (sunlight) a given point on the earth would accumulate throughout a day, which is a single rotation of the earth about it's axis.
How does the summer solstice occur in the northern hemisphere?
The summer solstice occurs in the northern hemisphere when the sun is at the most acute angle above the horizon. It usually occurs on or about June 21.
What is the tilt of the earth for winter?
In summer the suns rays travel directly to the surface at a steep angle, so are still warm. In winter the rays strike at a shallower angle, and cool down rapidly as they travel a longer distance through the atmosphere before reaching the surface.
How are the two diagrams of the June solstice different?
The two diagrams of the June solstice typically differ in their depiction of the Earth's tilt and position relative to the Sun. One diagram may show the Northern Hemisphere tilted towards the Sun, illustrating longer daylight hours and summer for that hemisphere, while the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away, resulting in winter. The second diagram might focus on the angle of sunlight, highlighting the intensity of solar radiation in different regions. Together, these diagrams emphasize the seasonal variations caused by the Earth's axial tilt.
What happens to the daylight hours in Winter?
They get shorter, because of the Winter Solstice. The winter solstice is when the shortest amount of day light hours acccure, and that day is on December 21. There is only 8 to 9 hours for a winter solstice.
When do the Sun's rays strike latitude 23.5 degrees at an angle of 90 degrees?
During the solstice (our summer for north, our winter for south).
Why is the noon solar intensity greater on the summer solstice than on the winter solstice?
The noon solar intensity is greater on the summer solstice than on the winter solstice because the sun's rays hit the Earth more directly on the summer solstice due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This leads to more concentrated solar energy reaching a given area, resulting in higher intensity.
Why does the winter solstice occur?
The winter solstice (and the summer solstice) ocur for a very interesting reason. The sun 'moves' around the earth in a path that is very tilted to the earth's equator. When the sun is farthest on this path north of the equator, it is the summer solstice. And when it's farthesr south of the equator, it's the winter solstice. From the northern hemisphere, that is.
What is the angle of the sun above you on a summer solstice?
the earths shape is sphere.
How many degrees below the horizon does the sun go at night on the winter solstice at latitude 57 degrees north?
On the winter solstice at a latitude of 57 degrees north, the sun will be about 33 degrees below the horizon at night. This is because the tilt of the Earth causes the sun to not rise above a certain angle during the winter months at this latitude.
How many minutes does each day decrease in winter?
Daylight increase is not a linear function. It is very low at each solstice and equinox, slowly increases to mid term and then decreases again. Latitude also needs to be taken into account.
When do suns rays strike 23.5 degrees s at an angle of 90 degrees?
The sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn at the moment of the December solstice.At the Winter solstice. It will next happen on 21 December 2014 (answer dated 21 Nov 2014)..

What is the angle of approach of the 2010 Ford Expedition?
The 2010 Ford Expedition has a 22.8 degrees angle of approach.
