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 time of the year is the southern hemisphere exposed to vertical rays of the sun?
When the northern hemisphere is in winter, the southern hemisphere is in summer.
In the summer the direct rays of the sun are hitting what hemisphere?
The hemisphere where it is summer. Northern in July, Southern in Dec.
When the sun is rays are shining directly on the northern hemisphere what are they doing in the southern hemisphere?
The Earth is close to a sphere so there is but one single point on the sphere that has the Sun directly overhead at any one time. When this point is in the Northern hemisphere (roughly from the 21 of March to the 20 of September) the Southern hemisphere is less directly hit by the rays of the Sun and experiences somewhat cooler seasons than when the rays of the Sun strike more vertically.
Are the sun rays stronger in Southern hemisphere than northern?
The earth is closer to the Sun in the southern hemisphere when it is summer, but during summer in the northern hemisphere the earth is farther away by many millions of kilometres . Although this will change gradually and in 13,000 years the opposite will be true .
What is is the latitude of the tangent Rays in the southern hemisphere?
The tangent ray refers to either the northernmost or southernmost hemisphere where the vertical rays refers to direct sun. During the June 21 solstice, the latitude rays in the southern hemisphere would be 66.5 deg S (Antarctic Circle)
What is the latitude of the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on March 29?

What is the latitude of the the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on June 21?
The tangent ray refers to either the northernmost or southernmost hemisphere where the vertical rays refers to direct sun. During the June 21 solstice, the latitude rays in the northern hemisphere would be 66.5 degrees N (Arctic Circle)
Where are the tangent rays of the sun during a December solstice?
During a December solstice, the tangent rays of the sun are focused on the Tropic of Capricorn, which is located at approximately 23.5 degrees south latitude. This results in the southern hemisphere receiving more direct sunlight and experiencing its summer season, while the northern hemisphere receives indirect sunlight and experiences winter.
What are tangent rays?
Tangent rays are the migratory sun rays that skim over the earth's surface at high latitude locations (Polar Regions). These rays also occur during dusk and dawn at any latitude.
What are the degrees of latitude in the Northern hemisphere?
Any latitude has tangent solar rays, at local sunrise and sunset. At the appropriate time of year, latitudes greater than 66.5° north or south can experience tangent solar rays at any point in a 24-hour day.
What time of the year is the southern hemisphere exposed to vertical rays of the sun?
When the northern hemisphere is in winter, the southern hemisphere is in summer.
What is the latitude of the the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on the September and March Equinoxes?
At the time of the equinoxes, the sun's rays would be nominally tangent to the Earth at the north and south poles. Those are 90 degrees north and south of the equator respectively. Also I think at either 23.5 degrees north or 23.5 degrees south at sunrise and sunset.
In the summer the direct rays of the sun are hitting what hemisphere?
The hemisphere where it is summer. Northern in July, Southern in Dec.
Are the sun's rays striking the Northern or Southern hemisphere the most during the summer?
well if you say it that way, it depend which hemisphere you live in. We live in the northern hemisphere, so the sun rays strike to the southern hemisphere.
When the north pole tilts away from the sun where do the most direct rays strike?
When the North Pole tilts away from the sun, the most direct rays strike the Southern Hemisphere, closer to the Tropic of Capricorn. This results in winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
On December 21 the rays of the sun strike directly on what latitude?
On December 21, the rays of the sun strike directly on the Tropic of Capricorn, at approximately 23.5 degrees south latitude. This marks the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.
