CL038001
|
In the northern hemisphere, if the maximum height the sun reaches in the sky is lower throughout the year at one place than at another place, the place where the maximum height the sun reaches is lower is farther north.
|
|
CL117001
|
At a given place, the sun is higher in the sky in the middle of the day in summer than in winter because that place is closer to where the sun is directly overhead in the summer than it is in the winter.
|
|
CL098002
|
In late June in the northern hemisphere, a person would have to be 23.5° north of the equator to see the sun directly overhead in the middle of the day.
|
|
CL100002
|
A person who lives at 12° south of the equator would see the sun directly overhead on a day in February.
|
|
CL101002

|
|
CL102002
|
Only in March and September does the sun reach its maximum height in the sky at the equator.
|
|
CL024002
|
For a place that is located north of the tropical region, the maximum height the sun reaches in the sky is lower for places north of that place.
|
|
CL025002
|
For a place that is north of the tropical region, the maximum height that the sun reaches in the sky is lower for all places north of that place.
|
|
CL026002
|
For a place that is located south of the tropical region, the maximum height the sun reaches in the sky is lower for places south of that place.
|
|
CL027002
|
For two places that are north of the tropical region, the maximum height of the sun in the sky is higher for the place that is less far north.
|
|
CL028002
|
The maximum height the sun reaches in the sky changes as you move toward the north, but not as you move toward the east.
|
|
CL029002
|
For two places that are north of the tropical region, the maximum height of the sun in the sky is lower for the place that is farther north.
|
|
CL030002
|
In the northern hemisphere, the maximum height the sun reaches in the sky is greater in March than in January.
|
|
CL031002
|
In the northern hemisphere, the maximum height the sun reaches in the sky gets a little higher each day in January.
|
|
CL140001
|
For a place south of the tropical region, the maximum height of the sun in the sky gradually gets a little lower each day in January.
|
|
CL032002
|
For a place in the northern hemisphere, the maximum height the sun reaches in the sky changes each day in both January and December.
|
|
CL033002
|
For places that are north of the topical region, the maximum height the sun reaches in the sky increases each day for six months and then decreases each day for the next six months.
|
|
CL034002
|
For places in the northern hemisphere and north of the tropical region, the maximum height the sun reaches in the sky is a little greater each day between January and May.
|
|
CL038002
|
For two places in North America, the one where the maximum height the sun reaches in the sky is lower must be farther north.
|
|
CL035002
|
For a place that is north of the tropical region, the maximum height the sun reaches in the sky gets a little lower each day in July.
|
|
CL039002
|
In the southern hemisphere, if the maximum height the sun reaches in the sky is lower throughout the year at one place than at another place, the place where the maximum height of the sun is lower must be farther south.
|
|
CL040002
|
In the northern hemisphere, the maximum height the sun reaches in the sky is greater in the summer than in the winter.
|
|
CL071002
|
Sunlight strikes the earth at a 90° angle at only one place at any given time.
|
|
CL056002
|
For two places at different latitudes north of the tropical region, the intensity of sunlight is always greater at the place that is closer to the tropical region, but the number of hours of daylight can sometimes be greater for the place closer to the tropical region and sometimes greater for the place farther from the tropical region.
|
|
CL057002
|
Any place at the equator is much warmer than the north pole because the sun is more directly overhead at the equator than at the north pole.
|
|
CL077002
|
For two places at the same longitude, the sun is higher in the sky at the place where the sun is striking the earth at a 90° angle.
|
|
CL080002
|
The sun is directly overhead at only one place on earth at a single moment.
|
|
CL082002
|
For two places equally close to the place where the sun is directly overhead, the sun will be the same height in the sky at those two places at the same moment in time.
|
|
CL083002
|
At any time during a day there is only one point on the surface of the earth where sunlight strikes at a 90° angle.
|
|
CL084002
|
Sunlight strikes only one point on the sunlit side of the earth at a 90° angle at any given time.
|
|
CL117002
|
At a given place, the sun is higher in the sky in the middle of the day in summer than in winter because the orientation of the earth’s axis relative to the sun is different in summer than it is in winter.
|
|
CL114002
|
The sun passes directly overhead during the month of May at a place that is a little farther north of the equator than it passed over the day before.
|
|
CL115002
|
The place where sunlight strikes the earth’s surface at a 90° angle during the months of May and October is a little farther north each day in May and a little farther south each day in October.
|
|
CL119002
|
For a place where the sun is directly overhead in the middle of the day in late December, the sun would not pass directly overhead at any time in February.
