What happens to the north stars as it approach 0 degrees?
As you approach 0 degrees latitude (the equator), the North Star becomes lower in the sky. The North Star is located directly above the North Pole, so as you move further south towards the equator, it appears closer to the northern horizon. At the equator (0 degrees latitude), the North Star would be right on the horizon and not visible.
Areas farther north or south of the equator receive from sunlight?
Areas farther north or south of the equator receive less sunlight because the angle of the sun's rays is lower, spreading out the energy over a wider area. This results in cooler temperatures and shorter days in those regions, especially during winter months.
Is Mississippi closer to the equator than Missouri?
Yes, because Missouri in north of Mississippi, i.e. at a higher latitude. The equator is to the south of the US.
If you are in Dallas Texas what direction would you need to travel in order to reach the equator?
You would need to travel toward the south to reach the equator. Because Dallas is in the Northern Hemisphere not the southern hemisphere. BTW the Northern Hemisphere is the upper half of the earth. The Southern Hemisphere is the lower part of the earth.
Why is the equator a low air pressure area?
The equator is an intensely heated throughout the year . Due to the intense heating the air in this region becomes warm and light and it rises above creating a partial vacuum .(As you know vacuum leads to decrease in air pressure) As a result a region of permanent low pressure is created called the equatorial low pressure belt.

What hemisphere contain the biggest portion of land?
North America, by far. Below the Equator, there is only Australia, most of South America, the lower tip of Africa, and Antarctica. But above the Equator, you've got all of North America and part of South, the bulk of Africa, Greenland, Eurasia, etc.
Where are sunspots formed?
Surprisingly, almost all sunspots are found in two bands on the Sun, just north and south of the equator. At the start of the cycle, the sunspots appear at latitudes of about 30 degrees, both north and south of the equator. Then, as the cycle continues, more appear at lower latitudes until, at the end of the cycle, most spots appear near the equator.

When during the year is daylight shortest?
in the winter : the sun is lower in the sky in winter so it takes less time to set :D

Yes, because Missouri in north of Mississippi, i.e. at a higher latitude. The equator is to the south of the US.
Where are most sunspot's found?
Sunspots are most frequent about 30 degrees north or south of the equator. They tend to appear there around the maximum of the 11 year sunspot cycle. Earlier in the cycle they areseen at higher latitudes and later they are at lower latitudes.
Why does the elevation of the south celestial pole decrease as you travel from melbourn to Brisbane?
This occurs because as you travel further north from Melbourne to Brisbane, you are moving closer to the equator. The south celestial pole is directly above the South Pole, so as you move towards the equator, it appears lower in the sky due to the change in your viewing angle.
What is the opposite of a hurricane?
In one sense, a hurricane can be the opposite of itself, in the form of a tropical cyclone.- The reason being that a cyclone occurs south of the equator, while a hurricane occurs north of the equator. Because they are on opposite sides of the equator, they spin in different directions. However, they are fundamentally the same thing, "Tropical Revolving Storms", or TRS for short.The opposite in terms of atmospheric phenomena would be a strong high-pressure system, which has greater than normal pressure while the hurricane has a much lower central pressure. Like the cyclones of the southern hemisphere, the northern continental "highs" rotate clockwise, and they move generally east and south (away from the north pole) while hurricanes generally move west and north in the Atlantic and northern Pacific.
Where does warm air and cold air travel to on the globe?
Warm air moves towards higher latitudes towards the poles, while cold air moves towards lower latitudes towards the equator. This movement is driven by the temperature and pressure differences between these regions.
If you are in Dallas Texas what direction would you need to travel in order to reach the equator?
You would need to travel toward the south to reach the equator. Because Dallas is in the Northern Hemisphere not the southern hemisphere. BTW the Northern Hemisphere is the upper half of the earth. The Southern Hemisphere is the lower part of the earth.
