What zone receives direct or nearly direct sunlight year around?

The tropical zoneThe tropical zone is the area near the equator, between about 23.5° north latitude and 23.5° south latitude. It has a warm climate because it receives direct sunlight all year.

Which line of latitude receives the most direct sunlight during the winter?

the Tropic of CapricornDuring the northern hemisphere winter solstice, the Sun's incoming rays are perpendicular to the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees south latitude. The Sun's path is the lowest above the horizon in locations north of the equator, and these regions experience the shortest day of the year.

Which of the following latitudes would get direct sunlight the sun would be directly overhead at least one point during the year )?

Having the sun directly overhead can happen only between the Cancer and Capricorn tropics. That is, only the places between 23.5° of latitude north and 23.5° of latitude south. On the Cancer tropic (23.5° latitude north) it will happen once every year, on the day of the northern hemisphere solstice (about June 21st).Jan 30, 2018

Which zone receives the most direct sunlight?

The sun's rays strike Earth's surface most directly at the equator. This focuses the rays on a small area.

Which climate group receives the most direct sunlight?

The tilt and curvature of the earth allows the tropical zone to receive the most direct sunlight throughout the year, and the further away you go from the equator, the less direct sunlight you receive therefor the colder climates you have. What are the 3 climate zones? Polar, Temperate, and Tropical.

What latitude gets the most direct sun on December 21st?

23.5° southThe sun's rays are directly overhead along the Tropic of Capricorn (the latitude line at 23.5° south, passing through Brazil, South Africa, and Australia) on December 21.

What is the most northern latitude that can receive direct sunlight in the sun can be directly overhead at some point during the year )?

You may have noticed two special lines of latitude on a globe of the world: One in the Northern Hemisphere called the Tropic of Cancer at +23.5° latitude and one in the Southern Hemisphere called the Tropic of Capricorn at − 23.5° latitude. At these latitudes, the sun is directly overhead around noon on the solstices.

Which of the following latitudes receive the most direct radiant energy?

The equator receives the most solar radiation in a year.Dec 14, 2021

Which latitude is the sun rays?

Since the Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees, then on this particular day, the Sun's rays are striking the Earth directly at a latitude approximately 23.5 degrees north of the equator (that is, the Sun's rays are coming in at an angle of 90 degrees here; this is the subsolar point).

What is the latitude of the vertical direct rays of the sun?

The sun's vertical rays are directly above 23.5° S. latitude, the Tropic of Capricorn. Now it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere.Nov 29, 2021

What is an Analemma used for?

In astronomy, an analemma (/ˌænəˈlɛmə/; from Ancient Greek ἀνάλημμα (analēmma) 'support') is a diagram showing the position of the Sun in the sky as seen from a fixed location on Earth at the same mean solar time, as that position varies over the course of a year.

Answer

Low Latitudes get the most sunlight, sunlight causes the water to warm up.
