There is more daylight on the south of the equator due to the tilt of the earth. The earth tilts toward the sun in the southern hemisphere, and away from the sun in the northern hemisphere.

Where is the sun at midday?

The sun is typically located at its highest point in the sky at midday, which is around noon. Its position will vary based on your location and time of year, but it will generally be towards the southern part of the sky in the northern hemisphere and towards the northern part of the sky in the southern hemisphere.


Do all penguins live at the South Pole?

No penguins live at the South Pole. Penguins are found in the Antarctic, but not at the South Pole itself. This theoretical point lies too far inland for penguins, or any other animals to venture. Penguins are only found in the southern hemisphere, and are by no means restricted to the Antarctic. Whilst nothing can actually live at the "South Pole", because it is a point too far inland on the Antarctic continent to support life, penguins are one of the most abundant lifeforms found on the Antarctic peninsula and surrounding islands.


What does zawal mean?

Zawal is the time where you cannot read the quran or read your prayer because mainly at that time the Satan and the ginns are praying and we read it they can make us people go astray or they can kill us.


Why does Australia have different living things to other continents?

First of all, if you're a creationist, ask your local representative of whichever divine being you believe in. Ignore the rest of this post, as creationists will consider it heresy. It has to do with genetic drift - the foundation of evolution. Australia is a very isolated continent, lacking any land bridge to another continent. It is thus isolated. Furthermore, the climate of Australia differs significantly from the other 6 (for that matter, the other 6 also have unique climates), meaning adaptations in Australia need to solve a different set of problems. When a population of a species is isolated from the rest of that species, as those of Australia were whenever continental drift separated Australia from what was left of Pangea (the megacontinent from when all of the continents were connected), its genetic traits slowly begin to differ from the original species - this is called genetic drift. Eventually, instead of 2 separated populations of a single species, we have 2 separate species. One of these species is in Australia, the other in the Pangea remenant (probably just Eurasia at that point). Why they are so radically different in Australia than in most other continent combinations is primarily due to the amount of time since Australia separated from Pangea. South America and Africa split fairly recently. The geological evidence has not yet eroded away, and is easily identified by geologists. Furthermore, the genetic differentiation has not been enough to make a significant difference between Jaguars and Leopards (well, from a layman's perspective). Just going from the amount of genetic drift, I'd suggest that Australia split from the other continents fairly early in the disintegration of Pangea, perhaps even the first significant land mass to split off (other than possibly Antarctica, which is barely relevant in a discussion of evolutionary diversity.

Which direction does shadow point at midday?

The shadow points directly south at midday in the northern hemisphere and directly north at midday in the southern hemisphere. This is because the sun is at its highest point in the sky at midday, casting shadows directly opposite the sun's position.


What direction of the compass does the shadow point to at midday?

At midday, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, shadows typically point directly north in the Northern Hemisphere and directly south in the Southern Hemisphere. This is because the sun is positioned in the southern part of the sky in the Northern Hemisphere and in the northern part in the Southern Hemisphere. The exact direction can vary slightly depending on the time of year and the observer's latitude.


What are the changes in the length and direction of the shadows from morning to midday to afternoon?

In the morning, shadows are long and point west as the sun rises in the east. At midday, shadows are shortest as the sun is directly overhead, casting shadows directly below objects. In the afternoon, shadows lengthen and point east as the sun moves towards the west.


At what time of day would you expect to find the shortest shadows?

NOON When the sun is at it's highest point in the sky


What direction do shadows point at noon?

Shadows point north at noon in the Northern Hemisphere and south at noon in the Southern Hemisphere.


When would the shadow of the tree be shortest at midday or at sunset?

The shadow of a tree would be shortest at midday. This is when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, resulting in the sunlight hitting the tree at a steep angle, creating shorter shadows. At sunset, the sun is lower on the horizon, causing longer shadows to be cast by the tree.


What is the name of the promontory that is the southernmost point of mainland Australia?

Wilson's Promontory in southern Victoria. South Point in the Promontory is the southern most point in mainland Australia.


When during the day are our shadows biggest and smallest?

Shadows are biggest in the early morning and late afternoon when the sun is low on the horizon. As the sun rises to its highest point at midday, shadows become their shortest. This occurs because the angle of the sunlight changes throughout the day, affecting the length of the shadows cast by objects.


Where is the sun at midday?

The sun is typically located at its highest point in the sky at midday, which is around noon. Its position will vary based on your location and time of year, but it will generally be towards the southern part of the sky in the northern hemisphere and towards the northern part of the sky in the southern hemisphere.


Why are shadows shorter in the early morning or at sunset than at midday?

It gets shorter. At mid day it reaches its shortest point, and throughout the rest of the day grows longer. Also, it drifts from west to east. In the northern hemisphere, it points generally north at mid day, swiveling around to the east in the afternoon.


How many kilometres from the northern point of Australia to the southern point of Australia?

The distance between the tip of Australia (Cape York Peninsula) and the bottom of Tasmania is around 3700km.


Where is Australia and how long does it take to get there?

Australia is a continent and country in the southern and eastern hemispheres. How long it takes to get there depends on your point of departure and method of travel.
