Why can the sun ever reach zenith (90 degrees) position in NY?

Geography
1 answer:
Alenkinab [10]4 years ago
6 0

New York City is roughly 41° north of the equator, along the curved surface
of the ball-shaped Earth.  In order for the sun to be at the Zenith ... to be
90° above the horizon and shine straight down on New York ... the equator
would have to be tilted 41° away from the plane in which the Earth's orbit
lies.  But it isn't.  It's only tilted about 23.5° away from that plane. So the
sun can never be directly overhead at any place that's more than 23.5°
away from the equator.

utilizand indicele gradientului termic vertical, calculati valoarea temperaturii aerului la altitudinea de 3500m stiind ca valoa
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Knowing that the temperature at sea level (0 m) is 20 ° C, we will calculate the air temperature at. The altitude of 3500m.

According to the vertical thermal gradient, the air temperature decreases by 6 ° C at 1000m alt.

1000 m .... 14 ° C (20-6 = 14)

2000 m .... 8 ° C (14-6 = 8)

3000 m ... 2 ° C (8-6 = 2)

3500 m .... - 1 ° C (2-3 = -1

What is located at equal distance from the North Pole and south pole
Vlad [161]
The PERIMETER of the equator cycle is about 40,000Km. The Greenwich cycle is a bit shorter as the earth is a bit an ellipsoid. About 37,000Km by Google Maps. The distance on the envelope between ANY antipodes (=opposite points on the axis, I won't use "diameter" to avoid confusion) is HALF the perimeter (If you walk the whole perimeter long, you'd get to the same point, of course). The distance through Earth is

D=P/Pi=37,000Km/Pi=about11777Km
