At the winter solstice, which occurs around December 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole experiences continuous darkness, known as polar night. During this time, the sun does not rise above the horizon, resulting in the darkest period of the year for that region. Conversely, the Southern Hemisphere enjoys its summer solstice, with longer daylight hours.

What latitude on earth receives the vertical rays from the sun when earth is a position M?
When the Earth is in position M, which typically corresponds to the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere (around June 21), the latitude that receives the vertical rays of the sun is 23.5° N, known as the Tropic of Cancer. Conversely, during the winter solstice (around December 21), the vertical rays hit 23.5° S, or the Tropic of Capricorn. During equinoxes, the sun's rays are directly overhead at the equator (0° latitude).
2 days of the year when the sun is directly over 23.5 south or 23.5 north latitude?
The two days of the year when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N) is on the June solstice, around June 21st. The two days when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S) is on the December solstice, around December 21st. These are the summer and winter solstices, respectively.
What are the names of the imaginary lines that run around the earth south of the equator?
The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun does not appear above the horizon at the southern Winter Solstice. It also marks the northernmost point of the Antarctic Frigid Zone. The Tropic of Capricorn is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the southern Summer Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Tropic Zone. The area between these two imaginary lines is known as the southern Temperate Zone.
What is the latitude of an observer who measures an altitude of the sun above the northern horizon of 50.0(Degrees) at noon on the winter solstice?
On the Tropic of Capricorn the Sun is overhead at the summer solstice and 47 degrees off the vertical, or 43 degrees above the horizon, at the winter solstice. So the observer here must be 7 degrees further north than the tropic of capricorn: the latitude is 16.4 degrees south.
What is the gravity like on earth celestial body?
The gravity on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s². This means that objects on Earth experience a gravitational force that pulls them towards the center of the planet. This force is what keeps us and everything else on the planet grounded.
Some special things about Antarctica?

Why is Antarctica so famous?
Antarctica is the highest, driest, coldest, windiest, darkest and iciest continent on earth. All land south of 60 degrees S, which includes Antarctica, is governed by the Antarctic Treaty. The treaty dedicates this land to science and to research about the health of planet earth.
If the earths axis were tilted 45 degrees at what latitudes would the sun be directly overhead on the summer and winter solstices?
If the Earth's axis were tilted at 45 degrees, the Sun would be directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer (approximately 23.5° N) during the summer solstice, and at the Tropic of Capricorn (approximately 23.5° S) during the winter solstice. However, with a 45-degree tilt, the latitudes for direct overhead sunlight would shift to approximately 45° N during the summer solstice and 45° S during the winter solstice. This change would significantly alter global climate patterns and the distribution of sunlight throughout the year.

Why are the tropics of cancer and Capricorn important?
The Tropic of Cancer is a line of latitude (23.5 o N) where the Sun is directly overhead at the Summer Solstice. The Tropic of Capricorn is a line of latitude (23.5 o S) where the Sun is directly overhead at the Winter Solstice.
