How the angle the sunlight reaches the earth impacts the number of hours of sunlight and the length of the day?
During the summer, the sun is striking the Northern Hemisphere straight on, therefore providing strong sunlight and longer daylight hours. The opposite is true during the winter; the Northern Hemisphere is turned away from the sun during this time, hence receiving weak sunlight and shorter daylight hours.
What is the average hours of sunlight in India?
Around 12 during the winter (Dec-Jan)
Why do you have long days in summer?
Dependent on where you live (I'm guessing northwestern hemisphere) during the seasons the amount of sunlight per day changes. Since the earth rotates on a skewed axis, it will tilt towards the sun during your summer and provide more hours of sunlight and less during the day. During the winter, it tilts downward, away from the sun, so there are less hours of sun exposure.
How much sunlight during summer solstice at the polar caps?
It ranges from 6 months at the pole to several months in the polar circle.
Why is it warmer in northern Scotland during summer than in southern England during winter when southern England is closer to the tropics?
The "tropics" are an area that experiences fairly minor changes in temperature between winter and summer. As latitude increases, the difference between winter and summer becomes more extreme. So Southern England (at latitude around 48 degrees) experiences some pretty substantial differences in temperature, while northern Scotland has even greater differences between winter and summer. The high latitude summer days are quite long; up to 18-20 hours of daylight during the summer, which allows the Sun to heat them up.
Why don't the moon shine through a solar eclipse?
The moon only apears to shine because it reflects sunlight from its surface. During a solar eclipse the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so the sunlight reflects off the surface of the moon which is not visible from Earth.
What happens exactly during photosynthesis?
During photosynthesis, plants and other organisms use sunlight rays to convert carbon dioxide and water to oxygen and sugar called glucose.
Does the shadow casts on the moon cover totally the entire lunar surface?
During a full lunar eclipse, the visible half of the moon's surface is in the Earth's shadow while the rest does not receive sunlight because it is facing away from the Sun. Lunar eclipses occur during full moon phases.
What is the average amount of sunlight in the Taiga?
during winter it is 6 hours of sunlight
What exactly are "solar lights"?
Solar lights are lights that you can put in your lawn that absorb the sunlight's rays during the daytime hours, then use those rays and shine the light durign the night.
What percent of the earth experiences daytime simultaneously?
At all times (except during a solar eclipse), exactly 50% of the earth is illuminated by the sun and exactly 50% is not. (Actually the part that is illuminated is slightly more than 50% due to the refraction of sunlight in the atmosphere making the sun visible when it's just below the horizon.)
Is it cold during an eclipse?
yes, because sunlight is energy and a source of heat; thus, if no sunlight reaches you during an eclipse, there is no heat.
Sunlight excites electrons in the chlorophyll during the what?
During the light reaction, sunlight excites electrons of chlorophyll P680 in Photosystem One.
When is it daylight in Alaska?
Most of the sunlight is during summer but during winter it probably averages 3-4 hours of sunlight a day.
Is there sunlight in the Arctic Ocean?
Yes, there is sunlight in the Arctic Ocean, except during the winter.
Why doesn't the moon disappear when the sun is out?
Why should it disappear? It's big, it's visible, and it reflects sunlight; OF COURSE it will be visible. The only reason we can't generally see stars during the day is because the sunlight is scattered all around the horizon, and the scattered sunlight "drowns out" the light of the stars and planets. But you can often see the Moon in the daytime, and if you know exactly where to look, you can often see the planet Venus during the day, too.
What time during the day has the most sunlight?
from 12 to 1'o clock we will have more sunlight
