When on earth are there equal periods of daylight and darkness?
At some point there is a balance between the daylight hours and nighttime hours but I do not know the exact date or time period.
How does the tilt of earth axis effect the number of daylight hours effect the temperature of a location on earth?
Less light means the temperature falls. With fewer hours of daylight, there is less time for temps to increase at all. The combination produces longer periods of lower temperatures and a breeze or winds increase the cold's effects.
What is Equinox Latin for?
"Equal Nights". On the equinoxes, March 21 and September 21, the tilt of the Earth and its orbit combine to put the apparent position of the Sun directly over the equator. At that point, the day and the night periods are equal.
What are some examples to show how tides can alter the rotation and revolution of celestial bodies?
Most of the large moons in our solar system rotate so that they always show the same side to the planet. This is caused by "tidal forces". The tides have slowed the moons' rotations down until their rotation periods equal their orbital periods. The moons also slow down the planets; our planet is rotating slower and slower. Once again, this affects the rotation. However, since angular momentum MUST be conserved, the Moon also gets farther and farther from our planet, thus affecting its revolution around Earth.
How does axial tilt affect the length of day and night?
Axial tilt, or obliquity, affects the length of day and night by influencing the distribution of sunlight across the Earth's surface throughout the year. When one hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, it experiences longer days and shorter nights, while the opposite hemisphere has shorter days and longer nights. This variation leads to the changing seasons, with more extreme differences in day length occurring at higher latitudes compared to the equator. Consequently, during solstices, some locations may experience continuous daylight or darkness for extended periods.
If you want to enjoy longer periods of daylight in the summertime would you head closer to the equator or farther from it and why?
farther from it because the daytime is very short because it is concentrated in a small area. Near the equator the noonday sun is almost overhead every day so the ground is warmed strongly year-round.
Why is the sun still out when it is 800 pm?
The sun is still out at 8 PM in some locations due to the phenomenon of daylight saving time or the geographic position relative to the equator. During summer months, regions farther from the equator experience longer daylight hours as the tilt of the Earth's axis allows sunlight to reach those areas for extended periods. This results in the sun remaining visible well into the evening.
What is true of the regions near Earths equator?
they recieve more solar energy than the poles do
How fast do the hours of daylight change?
The speed at which the hours of daylight change varies based on the location and time of year. Near the equator, daylight hours change minimally throughout the year. However, closer to the poles, such as in the Arctic or Antarctic regions, daylight can change dramatically, with periods of continuous daylight or darkness during certain times of the year.
If you wanted to have longer periods of daytime in the summer would you head closer to the equator or farther away?
farther from it because the daytime is very short because it is concentrated in a small area. Near the equator the noonday sun is almost overhead every day so the ground is warmed strongly year-round.
How do day and night on Uranus' equator change a it revolves?
Uranus has an extreme axial tilt of about 98 degrees, causing its equator to be nearly horizontal relative to its orbit around the Sun. As a result, day and night at its equator can last for long periods; during its summer solstice, one pole experiences continuous daylight for about 42 Earth years, while the opposite pole is in darkness. This cycle reverses during the winter solstice, leading to similarly prolonged periods of night. Thus, the unique tilt of Uranus results in dramatic variations in daylight and darkness over its 84-year orbital period.
Which two areas on earth don't have seasons?
The equator and the poles do not experience distinct seasons. Near the equator, the consistent tilt of the Earth's axis results in consistent day length and temperature, while the poles have prolonged periods of daylight or darkness due to their extreme angles from the sun.
Which process of photosynthesis will be affected by shorter periods of daylight?
Calvin Cycle
Is it dark in Antarctica when its summer?
No. In fact there are extended periods of continuous daylight.
Where on the moon gets the most sunlight yearly?
The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.
Outer planets have smaller orbital periods than inner planets?
They are farther away and have larger orbital periods.
What are the days with the shortest and longest periods of daylight called?
winter and summer solstice.
