The path of the sun in the sky is determined by the Earths tilt with regard to the sun during the year and the position of the observers position on the Earth's surface. These same concerns also impact the location on the horizon that the sun appears to rise and set.In the simplest case, at the autumnal and vernal equinoxes the sun reaches a height of (90 - location degree of latitude). For other easily calculable times of yeas such as the solstices the sun reaches a height of (90 - degree of latitude - inclination of the earth in degrees) degrees.
What else can I help you with?
Does the sunlight hits almost straight on near the equator?
More Than "almost." the sun hits right on the equator. In fact, if you have a flagpole on the equator, there will be no shadow at noon. But the equator is not the only place where this happens. This happens Up to the tropics (tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn).
What are the effects at the equator without the tilt?
One who lives or works at the equator, and is careful to move around upright and withouttilt, typically suffers less fatigue in the course of a day, and is less likely to fall down.
When does the equinox occur in the northern hemispehe?
At the equinox day and night are of the same length all over the world because the Sun is in the plane of the Earth's equator, and that happens on March 21 and September 22 each year. At other times the Sun is above or below the Equator, and day and night have unequal lengths.
What happens when you move away from the equator?
As you move away from the equator towards the poles, the climate tends to become cooler due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This leads to colder temperatures and shorter growing seasons. Additionally, the length of the days and nights can vary more dramatically with the seasons in these regions.
Why do all places near the equator have 12 hour days year round?
All places near the equator have 12 hour days year round because the Earth's axis is not tilted relative to its orbit around the sun at the equator. This means that the sunlight is evenly distributed throughout the year, resulting in equal lengths of day and night. As you move away from the equator, towards the poles, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes variations in day length throughout the year, resulting in longer days in summer and shorter days in winter.
What happens to the length of day as you move north of equator?
They become shorter.
What happens to the length of day as you move north of the equator?
They become shorter.
What happens to the length of day (the number of hours of daylight) as you move south of the Equator?
day becomes longer
What happens to a 24 hour day on the equator?
The length of day & night are exactly 12 hours each. This never changes.
What happens on earth when it rotate on its axis?
On the surface of the planet, we experience day and night, as the Sun seems to move across the sky from east to west. This is actually the Earth spinning counterclockwise, west to east, as viewed from a point above the North Pole. Since the Earth is moving fastest at the equator, moving objects are affected by the rotation as they move toward or away from the equator. Their paths seem to turn to the right (north of the equator) or left (south of the equator), but these are actually straight paths that curve as the Earth spins. This is called the Coriolis effect.
What kind of mass movement happens continuouisly day after day?
in what direction do sand dunes move
What happens to the length of day the number of hours of daylight as you move north of the equator?
As you go north - or south - of the equator, and closer to the poles, the days will become longer in summer, and shorter in winter. Also, the Sun will no longer go rise and set vertically, so before sunrise and after sunset there will be a longer time in which there is still some light.
Does the sunlight hits almost straight on near the equator?

One who lives or works at the equator, and is careful to move around upright and withouttilt, typically suffers less fatigue in the course of a day, and is less likely to fall down.
What happens if you start your next pack one day early?
your cycle will just move one day forwards.
Equinoxes occurs on the first day of?
At the equinox day and night are of the same length all over the world because the Sun is in the plane of the Earth's equator, and that happens on March 21 and September 22 each year. At other times the Sun is above or below the Equator, and day and night have unequal lengths.
An equinox occurs when the sun is where?
For someone at the equator, during an equinox the Sun will get to the zenith.For someone at the equator, during an equinox the Sun will get to the zenith.For someone at the equator, during an equinox the Sun will get to the zenith.For someone at the equator, during an equinox the Sun will get to the zenith.
