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

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>No, Sun rays never shine directly overhead in the New York city. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Apparent movement of the sun only between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, these two imaginary lines lies in the 23.5 degree north and south, respectively. These zone is called torrid zone which receives vertical and overhead sunrays. New York city lies in the 40 degree north latitude. Sun never move apart from the tropic of cancer in northern hemisphere. New York is in the temperate climate region which makes it to receive the sunrays slantingly.

One possible result of the addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is an increase in cloudcover, which, in turn, could part
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The increase in cloud-cover occurs with introduction of larger amounts of aerosols into the atmosphere. The increased amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere will result in an increase of the greenhouse effect. Basically, the carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, having properties that enable it to trap the heat into the Earth's atmosphere. By doing so, the carbon dioxide will contribute to warmer atmosphere, thus warmer global climate. The effect of it will be that the Earth will have rise in the temperatures on global scale. The ice sheets will mostly melt, resulting in sea level rise. The rise of the sea levels will mean more ocean water, and less land, which in turn will create climate conditions that will be warm and wet in most of the planet.
