For continental U.S. the answer is never. Since the earth's rotation axis is tilted 23.5 degrees with respect to its orbital motion around the su, one would have to be less than 23.5 degrees above or below the equator to have the sun pass direclty overhead

Explain how scale is used on a map and why it is an important tool
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Scale on a map is important in order to give the map reader a sense of size. Maps are just about always smaller than what they really represent, and scale is a way of quantifying how much smaller they are.

First, find yourself a map. Then, using two points, find both the distance on the map and the true distance. Next, you divide the true distance by the measured map distance, and find your scale. Last, you need to place that ratio onto your map.
