Seasons

Sheep keep cool in the summer by seeking shade under trees or shelter, panting to regulate their body temperature, and drinking plenty of water. Their wool also acts as insulation, helping to keep them cool in hot weather by regulating their body temperature.

Never. Houston is at 29.7 degrees north latitude, and the Sun never goes above 23.4 degrees north. In fact, the only state in the United States that ever experiences the Sun directly at the zenith is Hawai'i.

The elliptical orbit has no connection with the seasons. It is, however, intimately

related to the 'year', which is defined as exactly one full revolution of the earth

on its elliptical circumsolar path and return to a reference point.

The axial tilt of the Earth's spin as compared to the ecliptic, or the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Earth's orbit is an ellipse, but it's only about 3% eccentric, which isn't really enough to cause much in the way of seasons.

The Earth, in fact, is closest to the Sun on (within a day or two depending on the cycle of leap years) January 4, and farthest from the Sun around July 2. So to the extent that the elliptical orbit contributes to the seasons, it would make northern hemisphere winters warmer, and summers cooler. The effect would be reversed in the southern hemisphere.

Summer season is morning sunlight hot day all day. Fall season has trees with leaves falling getting ready for winter. Winter season is cold days rain, ice. Spring season flowers bloom nice weather over all the best weather of them all.

seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth. since the earth is in a slight eliptical orbit around the sun, when we are closer to the sun in January is where the northern hemisphere will still have winter and further from the sun in July when summer occurs. this is expected to flip in 26,000 years because of earths 3rd axis known as axial precession

In 2012, the day when spring and fall had roughly equal hours of daylight and darkness was the equinox on September 22nd. On this day, the lengths of day and night are approximately equal all around the world.

Extreme heat or high humidity can also make it difficult to keep the inside of your house warm, as these conditions can lead to heat buildup and discomfort, even with heating systems running. Additionally, strong winds or drafty conditions can make it challenging to maintain a warm temperature inside the house, as they can quickly cool down the interior.

The revolution of the Earth around the sun causes the changing seasons and the positions of the solstices and equinoxes. The solstices occur when the Earth's axis is tilted most toward or away from the sun, leading to the longest and shortest days of the year. The equinoxes occur when the tilt is at a right angle to the sun, resulting in day and night being of nearly equal length.

No, places on the equator do not have equal day and night on the June solstice. This phenomenon, known as the equinox, occurs when the tilt of the Earth's axis is perpendicular to the sun's rays, resulting in approximately equal day and night lengths.

The bands of high-speed winds located about 10 kilometers above Earth's surface are called jet streams. These are fast-flowing air currents that move from west to east in the upper atmosphere and can greatly influence weather patterns.

Seasons, solstices and equinoxes are related to the angular tilt of the Earth's axis of rotation as compared to the ecliptic, which is the plane of the Earth's orbit. They have nothing to do with the elliptical orbit of the Earth.

The Earth's orbit is an ellipse, but it is very nearly circular; the eccentricity is only about 3%. If the Earth's orbit were perfectly circular, we probably wouldn't notice any difference.

The Solstice or equinox would not change. These are related to the tilt of earth.

Earth is at its closest to our star during December and January, at about 91 million miles, and farthest during June and July at 93 Million miles.

While a perfect circular orbit would not effect your questions it would also be very unlikely that it would ever occur.

As a thought experiment, If there were only Earth and our star, as each orbited while Earth is small in comparison would still pull at the star a small amount.

The Star and earth would be orbiting each other.

Given that objects have mass,

Given mass is attracted to mass,

I do not know of a method other than computer modeling,

to map the orbital patten of our star moving with all of the planets influence.

This is why I do not think it could ever be possible to have a perfect circular orbit.

It would be very complex

At the winter solstice for the northern hemisphere, the Sun is over the Tropic of Capricorn at 23 degrees 26 minutes south. Your observer is at 38N, a difference in zenith angle of 38+23.5=61.5 degrees. The elevation of the Sun above the southern horizon at noon (more precisely "Local Apparent Noon") is 90 - the azimuth angle, or 28.5 degrees.

Noon by your clock probably isn't "local apparent noon", the time when the Sun is in transit - at its highest point in the sky. For example, I live near Sacramento, CA, and here, in daylight savings time, the Sun transited my longitude at 12:57PM today. If I were a sailor (which I used to be) I could take a single "noon sight" of the Sun and calculate my position quite accurately with a single observation.

I need to watch the Sun through my sextant, and take continuous readings of the elevation angle of the Sun. (On the deck of a pitching boat, this observation can be tricky!) I note the time when the Sun is no longer rising in the sky, and starts to set; that time, to the nearest 15 seconds, gives me my longitude. The elevation angle at that time tells me my latitude. I do need to have an accurate watch, and a copy of the Nautical Almanac, but every modern sailor has these things.

Back in 1714, the British Admiralty offered a prize of twenty thousand pounds - a king's ransom, back then! - for the invention of a clock that kept accurate time at sea, because your celestial position is only as accurate as your clock!

In any one place, every object has a longer shadow in winter than it has in summer.

That fact is an important clue to the reasons for winter and summer.

It is approximately 7,917.5 miles to dig from one side of the Earth to the other, assuming you are tunneling directly through the center of the Earth. This distance is based on the Earth's average radius of 3,959 miles.

The average temperature in Oregon during winter varies depending on the region. In the western parts, temperatures typically range from 35-50°F, while in the eastern parts, temperatures can drop below freezing, with average ranges from 20-40°F. Mountainous areas tend to experience colder temperatures with more snowfall.

The sun rays are never overhead at any point beyond the tropical zone.the word TROPIC means turning point.when the sun has reached its northernmost and southernmost most limits on June 21st (tropic of cancer) and 22 December (tropic of Capricorn) respectively,it appears to turn southward and northward

During low tide, jellyfish can become stranded on the shore or in tide pools. They may pulsate their bell to try to move back to deeper water or wait for the tide to come back in. Some species can survive out of the water for a short period of time by slowing down their metabolism until they are in water again.

Zurich has roughly 1,500 - 1,700 hours of sunshine per year, which averages out to about 4-5 hours of sunshine per day. However, the number of actual sunny days can vary greatly depending on the season and weather patterns.

Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, has a near-zero axial tilt, meaning its axis is nearly perpendicular to its orbit. This lack of tilt results in very minor variations in its seasons and temperatures across the surface.

12 hours each on average, same as anywhere else on Earth. At the poles there is six months of day during the summer and six months of night during the winter, but it's still 12 hours per day on average.

I believe trough is high tide but I'm not 100% sure

A trough is the low part of a wave, the opposite of crest.

The length of day and night is nearly equal during the spring and autumn equinoxes because of the way the Earth is positioned in relation to the sun. During these times, the Earth's axis is neither tilted towards nor away from the sun, resulting in nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness across the globe.
