What was the first day of spring in 1987?
March 20 or March 21, depending on where you live The time when the sun crossed directly over the equator was 03:52 UTC on March 21.
What is the latitude of the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on March 29?
On March 29, the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere typically reach the latitude of the equator (0° latitude). Since the equinox occurs around March 20, during this period, the Sun is directly overhead at the equator, meaning that the rays are tangent to the surface at this latitude. As you move north of the equator, the Sun's angle increases, but the tangent rays still primarily correspond to the equatorial latitude around this time.
What season does the sun shine north?
The sun shines north primarily during the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere, which occurs around June to September. During this time, the North Pole is tilted towards the sun, resulting in longer daylight hours and the sun's rays hitting northern regions more directly. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, summer occurs around December to March, when the sun shines more directly on southern regions.
On the first day of which season is the sun directly overhead the Northern Hemisphere?
On the first day of Northern Hemisphere Summer, the sun is directly overhead at some point on the Tropic of Cancer ... the line around the Earth that's about 23.5° north of the equator. At every other latitude between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer ... all in the northern hemisphere ... the sun is directly overhead twice, on two different days between March 21 and September 21, with June 21 exactly between them. How far the two days are on either side of June 21 depends on the latitude. Right ON the equator, they're March 21 and September 21.
When is the last day of winter 2012?
Depending on where you live, the last full day of winter, 2012 will be either March 19, March 20, September 22 or September 23. Winter ends at the moment of the earth's orbit when the hemisphere that you are in goes from being tilted away from the sun to being tilted toward the sun. The sun will be directly of the equator at 5:14 AM UTC on March 20. Until that time, the sun will be over the southern hemisphere, and after that time it will be over the northern hemisphere. The sun will be directly over the equator again at 2:29 PM UTC on September 22, after which it will again be over the southern hemisphere.
