At 60 degrees latitude, sunlight absorption is significantly less intense compared to the equator due to the angle of the sun's rays. During summer months, the sun's path is higher, allowing for more direct sunlight, while in winter, the sun remains low on the horizon, resulting in shorter days and reduced sunlight. Overall, the average solar radiation received at this latitude is lower, averaging around 3-5 kWh/m² per day, depending on the season. This reduced sunlight impacts local climates and ecosystems.
What else can I help you with?
Why the latitude of a region influences its climate?
he latitude of a region determines how much sunlight the area receives.
How much degrees is the Equator Found At Which Line Of Latitude?
The equator is at the zero line of latitude.
How much latitude does the North Pole measure?
The North Pole is at 90 degrees North Latitude.
How much sunlight and water does the grassland get?
about 2oo degrees
Hours of sunlight in St. Louis?
Saint Louis, Missouri is at 38 degrees northern latitude and receives varied amounts of sunlight dpending on the season. Summer days can bring upwards of 14 hours of sunlight while winter days are much shorter, more like six to eight hours.
Why are orange things orange?
colour depends on how much sunlight is reflected and absorbed. White is the colour that reflects all sunlight, black is the colour that absorbs all sunlight.
Does Louisiana lie 40 degrees latitude?
No, Louisiana does not lie at 40 degrees latitude. The state is located between approximately 28 to 33 degrees north latitude. This places it much further south than 40 degrees north, which is closer to the northern United States and parts of Canada.
What is 20 degrees north latitude, 100 degrees west longitude?
Mexico. Northwest of Mexico City. The degrees mean how much above the equator and how much west of England.
How much sunlight does something south of the Antarctic Circle get?
Your answer depends on where you are south of the Antarctic Circle -- 66 degrees S to the South Pole: 90 degrees S. There are 1,656 miles or 2,664 km between those two points of latitude. As well, it depends on the time of year, because the sunlight length every day is different. At the South Pole, for example, there are six months of sunlight and six months without sunlight. At the Antarctic Circle, there is one day -- December 21, with no sunset, and one day -- June 21, with no sunrise.
Earth is closest to the sun in JanuaryWhat effect does this have on seasons?
Not much. The seasons are driven primarily by how much direct sunlight the Earth receives at a given latitude.
What are eight characteristics on which the amount of energy that is absorbeb or reflected by earths surface depends?
The amount of energy absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface depends on characteristics like surface color, texture, albedo (reflectivity), cloud cover, atmospheric composition, latitude, season, and time of day. These factors influence how much sunlight is absorbed or reflected by the surface, affecting the overall energy balance of the Earth.
What does latitude measure?
Latitude measure North to South. This is a much more appropriate answer. Latitude measures the angle between your horizon and a polar star. Which in turn provides a measurement in degrees north or south of the Equator.
