6 0

The celestial equivalent of latitude is called declination and is measured in degrees North (positive numbers) or South (negative numbers) of the Celestial Equator. The celestial equivalent of longitude is called right ascension.

The Celestial Sphere :

North Celestial Pole (NCP) and the South Celestial Pole (SCP) - these are just the north and south poles extended into space.

Celestial Equator - The earth's equator, but at a much greater radius. ...

Horizon - The horizon changes depending on your position on earth.

The reason that Antarctica is unclaimed is due to the Antarctic treaty signed by 12 developed nation in 1956 (and since then 38 nations) which states that no nation can claim the region. This treaty was aimed at protecting the continent’s ecozone (from military operations and mineral exploitation, etc) that is essential or the planet.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

The sun rays reach the earth's surface at an angle of 90 degrees at the equator which is direct and is short as compared to the poles it's long and about 66.5 degrees to the south and north. In the tropics its falls as 23.5 degrees in the northern and southern hemisphere.

The sun rays that form a tangent to the northern hemisphere are at 0, 23.5, 66.5 degrees i.e tropics, temperate and poles. And same is for the southern hemisphere.

On June 21 the southern hemisphere has winter seasons as the amount of insolation that reaches the southern side is less due to the tilt of the sun.
