Question

Where do the vertical rays of the sun fall on June 21?

Answer 1

Answer:

The vertical rays of the sun fall directly at Tropic of Cancer on 21st of June. Tropic of Cancer lies towards the Northern Hemisphere of Earth.

Tropic of Cancer lies at 23.5 degrees North. From this point the extension of light is seen in all directions. Due to the perpendicular sun rays, Earth is warmer at that point where the rays strike.

After this phenomenon, Tropic of Capricorn is being striked on December by the sun rays perpendicularly.

Answer 2

The 'vertical rays' of the sun fall on the 'Tropic of Cancer' at '23.5 degrees' north latitude on 'June 21'.  

Explanation:

• This is called Summer Solstice. 'June 21' is the longest day with the 'longest period of daylight in India'. On this day, the 'Northern Hemisphere' tilts at one side facing the sun which results for the longest day.
• Thus, these areas covering the 'Tropic of Cancer' receive the most heat at this period.
