b) Which latitude will experience 6 months of darkness during this season in the diagram
Answers
year is mainly divided into four seasons - winter, spring, summer and autumn. These seasons are experienced due to change in the position of Earth around the sun. Positions of the Earth change around sun because of its revolutions and tilts.
Hence, as the Earth revolves around the sun through out the year, different parts receive varied amounts of heat. The part (pole) which is more tilted towards the sun experiences longer days and hotter climate during that period. As different parts of Earth are tilted towards the sun throughout the year while revolution, solstices and equinoxes are experienced.
Solstice:
Two solstices occur in a year. During solstices, sun rays fall directly on either of the tropics.
Answer:
north pole and South pole are the two regions which experiences 6 month darkness and 6 months sunlight because the earth is tilted towards the sun so the Arctic and Antarctic circle will get the six months of darkness and six months of sunlight
