What else can I help you with?
At which earth latitude is the sun never directly overhead at noon?
The sun is never directly overhead at latitudes higher than 23.5 degrees north or south, known as the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and the path of the sun in the sky throughout the year.
What day is it when the sun is overhead south of the equator?
The sun is directly over the southern hemisphere from the September equinox until the March equinox.
What is the sun's azimuth?
Azimuth tells us the direction in which a celestial object can be seen. It is the angle (clockwise) between due north and the point on the horizon directly below the object. The azimuth of the Sun thus varies with the time of day and the time of year.
How do you know sun at the meridian?
The sun is at its highest point in the sky at the meridian, which occurs at solar noon. You can determine this by observing when the sun crosses an imaginary line running from north to south in the sky. At this time, shadows will be shortest, and the sun will be directly south (or north in the Southern Hemisphere) at its maximum altitude.
What time of the day do you expect the new moon to rise?
The new moon is not visible in the sky as it rises and sets with the sun during the day. It's the moon phase when the moon is directly between the Earth and the sun, so it rises and sets with the sun and is not observable.
At what time of day is the sun at its peak?
The sun is at its peak at noon, when it is directly overhead.
What is the angle of the noon day sun at 23.5 degrees south on March 21?
On March 21, which is the vernal equinox, the sun is directly overhead at the equator (0 degrees latitude). At 23.5 degrees south, the angle of the noon day sun would be 23.5 degrees above the horizon. This is because the sun's rays are hitting the southern hemisphere more directly as it moves northward during this time of year.
When the Northern Hemisphere has its shortest day will the sun be directly over the South Pole?
No, the sun will appear directly overhead along the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere.
At which earth latitude is the sun never directly overhead at noon?
The sun is never directly overhead at latitudes higher than 23.5 degrees north or south, known as the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and the path of the sun in the sky throughout the year.
What day is it when the sun is overhead south of the equator?
The sun is directly over the southern hemisphere from the September equinox until the March equinox.
Where is the sun at noon?
At noon, the Sun would cross the meridian, wherever you live.September is close to an equinox; if you live at the Equator, the Sun would be at the zenith. For every degree further north that you live, the Sun would be a degree south of the zenith. For example, if you live at 50 degrees latitude North, the Sun would be 40 degrees above the horizon (towards the South) i.e., 50 degrees from the zenit.
Does the Earth's rotation around the moon represent a day?
The earth does not rotate around the moon. The moon rotates around the earth. Neither one constitutes a day. A day is the time for the earth to revolve once in relation to the sun. It is the time from when the sun is directly over head until the time the sun is directly over head again.
What is the sun's azimuth?
Azimuth tells us the direction in which a celestial object can be seen. It is the angle (clockwise) between due north and the point on the horizon directly below the object. The azimuth of the Sun thus varies with the time of day and the time of year.
A continent that would never have the sun directly overhead at any time during the year?
Antarctica would never have the sun directly overhead at any time during the year due to its location near the South Pole. The tilt of Earth's axis ensures that the sun never reaches directly overhead in this region.
What time of day is the shadow shortest?
Noon, because the sun is directly overhead.
What is the time when the sun disappears below the horizon at the end of day?
The time when the sun disappears below the horizon at the end of the day is known as sunset. This marks the transition from day to night as the sun's light is no longer directly visible from the surface of the Earth.
How do sloes and equinoxes relate with seasons?
An equinox is the time when the day and night are of equal length in a day. It is also the time that the Sun is directly overhead at Earth's equator at noon. A solstice is the time when the day and night are the most different in length of time than any other time of the year. It is also the time that the Sun is farthest from being directly above the Earth's equator at noon.
