The Sun is lowest in the sky with less radiation in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter solstice.

Explanation:

The Earth is not static, but instead it is involved in several different motions. One of those motions is the Earth's tilt. Basically, the Earth is tilted with one of its hemispheres (northern or southern) toward the Sun in half of the year, and then in the other half of the year it is tilted with the other hemisphere toward the Sun.

When one of the hemispheres, lets say the Northern Hemisphere, is tilted away from the sky, and that reaches the maximum, it receives the least solar radiation, and the Sun is the lowest on the sky. That occurs on 21 or 22 December, and it is known as the winter solstice. This date represents the start of the winter for the Northern Hemisphere, thus its coldest period of the year.

The four stages on Earth caused by the tilting are:

  • spring equinox
  • summer solstice
  • autumn equinox
  • winter solstice

Sunspots are cooler than the surrounding gas in the photosphere because Sunspots are cooler than the surrounding gas in the phot
inna [77]

Answer:

The presence of strong magnetic fields results in the slow convection and also prevents the movement of hot plasma from entering the region

Explanation:

The photosphere refers to the visible surface of the sun, whereas the sunspots are the small dark spots that occur on the surface of the sun. These sunspots are comparatively cooler than the other gases that are present in the photosphere. It is because of the presence of the strong magnetic field, that lowers the surface temperature and reduces the effects of convection process and does not allow the movement of hot plasma into the region.

Due to this obstruction in the release of heat in the sun's surface, the sunspots are cooler than the surrounding gases.

A circle has a diameter
torisob [31]

The circumference of circle is 20.096 units

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that circle has a diameter  with endpoints at (10, 8)  and (5, 4)

To get the diameter, find the distance between the end points

<em><u>The distance between two points is given by formula;</u></em>

d=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}

Here the points are (10, 8)  and (5, 4)

(x_1, y_1) = (10, 8)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (5, 4)

Substituting the values we get,

\begin{aligned}&d=\sqrt{(5-10)^{2}+(4-8)^{2}}\\\\&d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}=\sqrt{25+16}=\sqrt{41}\end{aligned}

d = \sqrt{41} = 6.4

Thus the diameter is 6.4 units

<em><u>The  circumference of the circle is given by formula:</u></em>

c = \pi d

Where "d" is the diameter of circle

c = 3.14 \times 6.4 = 20.096

Thus circumference of circle is 20.096 units
