Why does summer receive more daylight hours than winter?

Biology
2 answers:
Andrews [41]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The amount of sunlight (daylight) earth receives is directly related to the tilt of the earth's imaginary rotation axis. The tilt of the earth is 23.5°. During the time of summer in the northern hemisphere, the tilt of the earth faces more towards the sun, and the sunlight is directly incident on it. So, the amount of daylight (or the duration of the day) is higher in summer.

On the other hand, during winter, the tilt of the sun faces opposite to the sun, so it receives a lesser amount of daylight, and so is cold during this time.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Explain how soaring and gliding birds use their air currents in their flight
ira [324]

Soaring and gliding birds like eagle, vulture, albatross, sea gulls etc are efficiently adapted to utilize the air currents in their flight.

Explanation:

The soaring flight and gliding movements are special adaptation developed by birds to meet the challenge of increasing turbulent air current.

Birds have the extraordinary skill of flying smoothly and effortlessly even at very high altitudes  

Birds soar by using thermal and dynamic soaring techniques.

Gliding movements help the birds to deflect the wind downward which helps to lift their bodies in the air. They do not flap their wings during gliding but just dive straight into the air which helps to increase their speed.

The adaptation of the bird’s structure with very light but strong bones on their wings helps to soar and glide in the air.
