The length of the day, on the equator, should be about 12 hours, at any time of the year. The exact time of sunset and sunrise may vary: In the center of a time zone, it should rise at 6:00 a.m. and set at 6:00 p.m., on average. However, further east (for example), within the same timezone, the Sun will rise earlier. Also, the equation of time must be considered: The times stated above are only an average.

In noon near the equator the Sun is?
In noon near the equator, the sun is high in the sky.
What is the rotation rate at the equator of the sun?
The rotation rate at the equator of the Sun is approximately 25 days, meaning that it takes about 25 days for the Sun to complete one full rotation at its equator.
The sun is most directly overhead near the what?
The sun is most directly overhead near the equator. This happens during the equinoxes where the sun is directly above the equator, resulting in near-vertical rays at noon.

Why do areas closer to the equator have warmer air than areas farther away?
the sun's radiation is concentrated in smaller area near the equator
Why is it colder at the North Pole in December than at the equator at midnight at the equinoxes - the sun is NEVER directly underfoot at the North Pole but at the equator it is?
The scientific word here for "underfoot" is the "nadir". It's the opposite of the observer's "zenith", which is the overhead point. When the Sun is well below the horizon it really doesn't matter if it's at the nadir. It will not be warming you at the Poles or at the equator. The Sun is overhead at noon on the equator at the equinoxes. It can get very hot on the equator in the daytime then, of course. Thanks to the Earth's atmosphere and oceans a lot of that heat is retained even when the Sun is below the horizon for 12 hours. The fact that the Sun is at the nadir at midnight doesn't matter. Yes, it can get cold at night on the equator, but the North Pole in December is much colder. That's because the North pole doesn't get any sunlight at all for many weeks around December time.
In noon near the equator the Sun is?
In noon near the equator, the sun is high in the sky.
When occurs when the sun is farthest north of the equator?
the solstice occurs when the sun is farthest north of the equator
Mark the days when the sun appears directly overhead at the Equator?
The Sun, in its seasonal apparent movement across the sky, passes directly over the Equator twice each year, at the March and September equinoxes. At the Equator, the rays of the sun are perpendicular to the surface of the earth on these dates.Places on the Equator experience the quickest rates of sunrise and sunset in the world. They are also the only places in the world where the sun can go directly from the zenithto the nadir and from the nadir to the zenith. Such places also have a theoretical constant 12 hours of day and night throughout the year, though in practice there are variations of a few minutes due to the effects of atmospheric refraction and because sunrise and sunset are measured from the time that the edge of the Sun's disk is on the horizon, rather than the center of the disk.
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.
What is the rotation rate at the equator of the sun?
The rotation rate at the equator of the Sun is approximately 25 days, meaning that it takes about 25 days for the Sun to complete one full rotation at its equator.
The vernal and autumnal equinoxes where is the sun in relation to the equator during?
At the Equinoxes, the Sun is directly above the equator.
Is the sun directly overhead in the equator?
Not always. The sun is directly overhead at the equator at the spring and fall equinoxes.
What impact does the equator have on the sun's rays?
They do not. The sun would radiate, as ever, whether or not the equator or even the earth ceased to exist. So the equator has no effect at all.
What is the effect of the sun equator receiving more of the suns energy?
1. The equator receives more of the Sun's energy. b. air near the equator is warmer.
Is the sun closer to the equator during the equinoxes?
Yes, during the equinoxes, the sun is directly above the equator, making it closer to the equator compared to other times of the year.
The sun is most directly overhead near the what?
The sun is most directly overhead near the equator. This happens during the equinoxes where the sun is directly above the equator, resulting in near-vertical rays at noon.
