<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>c. Solstice</u> describes days when sun's rays directly hit Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The solstices occur due to the declination of the Earth's orbital movement around the sun. During this declination, the axial tilt is 23.5°. Furthermore, solstice's occurrence is during time the sun's direction is overhead the moon.

In Northern hemisphere, the declination is towards Tropic of Cancer with the axial tilt of 23.5°N. It occurs on June 20 & 22 while in the south the normal period of occurrence is between December 20 and December 23. In the south, the solar declination hits Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5°S.

What caused the climate of the Sahara to change beginning about 5300 years ago
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The orbit of the Earth

Explanation:

It is widely speculated that orbital mechanics were responsible for the period of lushness that the Sahara desert and Northern Africa lived only 6000 years ago. Due to the changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun, it is thought that the monsoon effect (season variations in wind patterns that produce a heavy rainy season) was more pronounced across the northern latitudes and resulted in the Sahara being much wetter than it is today.
