When the direct rays of the Sun hit the equator, it is either the Vernal (Spring) Equinox or the Autumnal Equinox, when there are 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of darkness in one 24 hour day. 

<span>When the direct rays of the Sun hit the Tropic of Cancer it is the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. The day of the year with the most sunlight hours in the Northern Hemisphere, and the least sunlight hours in the Southern Hemisphere. </span>

<span>When the direct rays of the Sun hit the Tropic of Capricorn it is the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. The day of the year with the least sunlight hours in the Northern Hemisphere, and the most sunlight hours in the Southern Hemisphere.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Hurricanes need a lot of heat to form, which is why they usually occur over tropical seas (at least 26°C).

The sun is close to the equator, providing energy to heat the ocean.

The warm ocean heats the air above it causing it to rise rapidly.

Water evaporates quickly from the hot surface of the ocean, so the rising air contains great amounts of water vapour.

The rising air starts to spin (anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere)

The centre of the storm - the eye - is calm.

As the air rises it cools, condenses and forms towering cumulonimbus clouds.

The rapidly rising air creates an area of intense low pressure. The low pressure sucks in air, causing very strong winds.

Once the storm moves over land it starts to lose energy and fades.
