Why are the constellations seen as in the summer sky different than those in the winter sky?
The winter night sky is the opposite direction from the summer night sky. The constellations you see in winter are on the other side of the sun in summer, so you would only see them in summer during a total solar eclipse.
Is this true spring is the only seasoin in which days are always getting longer?
No. Days get longer for half a year, starting from the middle of winter. Then, from the middle of summer, they start getting shorter again.The length of a given day increases from the winter solstice (shortest day of the year) to the summer solstice (longest day of the year). The length decreases from midsummer to midwinter.If winter is defined as the period from the winter solstice to the vernal equinox, and spring as the period from the vernal equinox to the summer solstice, then the length of a solar day increases during winter and spring, and decreases in summer and fall (i.e. from midsummer to midwinter).
In coming solar radiation in middle latitudes is less in winter than in summer because?
energy is spread over a larger area
How does altitude of the solar noon sun change from December 21 to June 21?
the tilt goes towards the sun, the seasons chang from winter to summer
Which month does summer begin in South America?
when it summer in North America its winter in south america and when its winter in north america its summer in south america.
What happens to the amount of solar radiation as latitude increases?
The north pole receives more solar radiation during the summer than the equator does, but during winter, it receives no solar radiation. This means that as latitude increases, the amount of solar radiation increases in the summer and decreases in the winter.
Why is the noon solar intensity greater on the summer solstice than on the winter solstice?
The sun angle is greater during the summer solstice. This is because the Earth is tilted toward the sun rather than away from it.
Solar panels in winter?
SOLAR TECHNOLOGY RELIES OF SUNLIGHT. POWER EXCHANGE BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM: 1. SUPPOSED COUNTRY A HAVE 2 SEASONS -- SAY SUMMER AND WINTER ( USING SOLAR POWER) 2. SUPPOSED COUNTRY B HAVE 2 SEASONS -- SAY SUMMER AND RAINY (USING HYDRO-ELECTRIC) 3. COUNTRY A & B WILL BUILD BOTH IN SEPARATE TRANSMISSION LINES CONNECTING AND SUPPLYING EACH OTHER. 4. COUNTRY A (SOLAR) CAN SUPPLY POWER SUPPLEMENT TO COUNTRY B DURING SUMMER FOR WATER LEVEL WILL BE LOW AND WILL AFFECT ITS GENERATION. 5. COUNTRY B (HYDRO) CAN SUPPLY POWER SUPPLEMENT (RAINY SEASON) TO COUNTRY A (SOLAR) DURING WINTER FOR SOLAR ENERGY IS VERY MINIMAL OR NOTHING AT ALL. 6. ECONOMICS ISSUE CAN BE NEGLECTED IF SUSTAINABILTY IS A MUST
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.
Why is the position of the house toward the sun so important for a passive solar design?
When designing a passive solar plan for a house, the main concerns are mainly two: 1-Avoiding heat from the sun in the summer 2-Bringing in warmth from the sun in the winter So, for example, in the northern hemisphere, during the winter, the sun moves from east to west in an arc that is south to the equator. While during the summer, it moves in an arc north to the equator. Then putting larger windows, living room and backyard all facing south will get the most benefit from the sun in the winter, and will avoid the hot weather of the summer.
Does a solar powered generator home exist?
There are solar powered generator homes, but they are often passive solar, meaning they are designed to use the most of the sun's energy in both the summer and the winter.
Is the earth closer to the sun in summer than in winter?
Well that depends on where you live and if you call July "summer" . Earth is at the far end (aphelion) of its eliptical orbit in the northern hemisphere's summer (~July 4), and at its closest (perihelion) during winter ~(January 4).It is not Earth, but your location on Earth that gets more direct rays of the sun in summer than in winter. This has to do with your latitude location on earth (e.g., 45° north) and the axial tilt of the earth. (Without axial tilt, there would hardy be summer or winter anywhere on earth: 45° north would be as warm all year long.)(The exact same thing applies to all Australians, but the exact reverse: in a Norwegian's summer, the Australian experiences 'winter'.)What if the questioner lives south of the Equator?If the questioner lives in the southern hemisphere, perihelion (earth's closest approach to the sun) happens during their summer -their warm season - (along with slightly longer solar days) and aphelion (Earth's farthest approach to the sun) happens during their winter - cold season - (along with slightly shorter solar days).
What is passive solar design?
In passive solar design, the building is designed to make use of the sun to warm its walls, floors and roof during the winter, and to reject too much heat from the sun in summer. It is called passive because it does not use any mechanical or technical products like solar panels.
Why are the constellations seen as in the summer sky different than those in the winter sky?
The winter night sky is the opposite direction from the summer night sky. The constellations you see in winter are on the other side of the sun in summer, so you would only see them in summer during a total solar eclipse.
Is the temperature of sun's surface in summer is greater than in winter?
The seasonal effect is localized to the planet earth i.e. northern hemisphere is in summer, while southern hemisphere is in winter and vice versa. It has nothing to do with the solar surface.
What is one disadvantage of solar cells?
The solar cells do not work during cloudy,humid,cold or rainy weather. It can be used only during the summer seasons.
