The Arctic Of The Antarctic Circle

B. Why is it colder at the poles than at the equator? The reason why is because the Sun’s rays hit those areas with the least amount of rays. They are also faced away from the sun the most compared the other areas meaning they will get the least of the Sun’s rays.

Temperature contrast between the equator and the Arctic region is greatest in the winter. Temperatures near or at the equator only change a few degrees between winter and summer while the Arctic region changes drastically up to 40 degrees between the seasons.

Here the four lesser sabbats falling on the solstices and equinoxes are talked about. First, we have the spring and fall equinox when day and night are equal. Then summer with its longest day and winter’s longest night.

The north pole on the globe map is still located at 90°N and 0°W, but it is simply a single dot on the map since the globe is a sphere.

1. The very first day of Sun gazing, during the safe hours, gaze at the rising (or setting) sun for a

There are three main sections to this module: terrestrial coordinates, celestial equatorial coordinates, and understanding how the ecliptic is related to seasons on the Earth. Each of these sections has its own simulator(s). The background material necessary to utilize these tools is contained in each section.

* Where do you think would the heating degree days would be the highest? North Pole

The moon looks much larger near the horizon than it looks when it is higher in the sky.

Every morning, in the dark, a rooster crows outside and then the sun comes up; therefore, a rooster summons the sun to rise into the sky.

Things "rising" and "setting" give the appearance of something rising or setting. In reality objects like the Sun or Moon aren't physically rising from the horizon. Most of the motions we see in the sky are caused by the Earth's motion, both its rotation and orbital motion. So all of the "motions" described below are really apparent motions and not really an indication of how things are actually moving, but how they appear to move.

between light and shadow) from the north pole to the south pole of the moon. This is

The light that the Sun provides, also helps to light up different objects in the night sky, even if their billions of miles away.

the sun will one day plunge us into darkness if its heat has not dried

If I were to look up at the sky and see a bright star low on the horizon, exactly due East six hours later it would appear at its highest point due North.
