pressure area? The origins of the creation of areas of differing pressures can be seen to start with the sun. As the sun gives off radiation some is absorbed by the earth‚ however this absorption is centred on the equator and therefore creates a disparity between the heat of the equator and tropics and the rest of the globe. Between 450 North and 300 South there is a positive heat budget whereas outside these regions annually more heat is lost than accumulated. The cause in difference between the

in Betelgeuse. Q2) Define the ecliptic‚ celestial equator‚ vernal equinox‚ autumnal equinox‚ summer solstice‚ and winter solstice. How are the last four points (equinoxes & solstices) related to the ecliptic‚ the celestial equator‚ the Earth’s equator‚ and the four seasons? 1. Ecliptic: The plane defined by the earth’s orbit projected onto the celestial sphere‚ along which the sun appears to move as viewed from the earth. 2. Celestial Equator: The great circle lying on the celestial sphere the

it is. Places near the equator is much hotter than those who are far from the equator. Based on research‚ this is because places near the equator are vertically hit by the sun’s rays ‚ unlike places far from the equator. The earth is rotating around the sun called Revolution. This revolution affects the different seasons experienced by some places in the world. If the northern hemisphere is experiencing summer then the southern hemisphere is experiencing winter. 2.

How the Seasons and Day and Night Occur The Earth’s relationship with the sun creates the four seasons and day and night. They are all caused by the rotation of the Earth on its invisible axis. Day and night are caused by the rotation this axis as it turns towards and away from the sun and the seasons are caused by this axis rotation and the rotation of the Earth around the Sun. What are the SEASONS? There are four seasons in a year‚ about every 365 days. The season are spring‚ summer‚ autumn

the solar corona becomes visible to the naked eye. Because the distance between the Moon and Question 1 Explain about the effect of eclipse due to earth? The Earth rotational axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular of its orbit. The equator is tilted at the same 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular of the Earth orbit as well. As the Earth travels around the Sun‚ the rotational axis actually stays pointed in the same celestial location the North Star. And because of the rotational axis

Name: Basic Coordinates & Seasons – Student Guide 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. Terrestrial Coordinates Work through the explanatory material on units of longitude and latitude‚ finding longitude and latitude‚ and

“Places around the equator and those at latitude 60N are dominated by low pressure belts. Yet the weather and heat transfer processes in the two regions are very different. The weather in the equatorial region is often unchanging while that along latitude 60’N is variable.” Briefly describe the formation of low pressure belts in the two regions. Explain the different weather patterns in the two regions with reference to atmospheric circulation and movement of air masses. Discuss the heat transfer
