Question
See Hint How does the chang ing position of the Sun on the ecliptic affect our view of the Sun in our local sky at different locations on Earth? In this interactive figure (Flash required) investigate how the path of the Sun changes in the local sky of a person at various latitudes on Earth. Then choose the following statements that match your observations.(See the Hint if you need tips on how to use the figure.) Choose one or more: A. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun is lower in the sky in December than it is in June. a B. At latitudes closer to the poles,the difference in the Surn'sillumination throughout the year is more extreme. tudes near the equator, the difference in the Sun's illumination throughout the year is more extreme. C. At latit D. In the Northern Hemisphere, the length of the day is shorter in December than it is in June. E. The Sun always rises directly east and sets directly west. F. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Sun is lower in the sky in December than it is in June. a a 2nd attempt 1011 > SUBMIT ANSWER 10OF 11Explanation / Answer
Ans) A,B,D
due to the tilt of the earth's rotational axis the position of sun varies through out the year. in the december northern hemisphere is away from the sun so it will reduce solar radiation in the northern hemisphere and more sun light in southern hemisphere. in June northern hemisphere points towards the sun, so more sun light and less sun light in the southern hemisphere
