Question

Each of the following figures shows Earth with a different axis tilt. (Assume that Earth’s rotation period is unchanged.) Each also shows a person located in Florida (not to scale). Rank the figures based on how much time the person spends in daylight during a 24-hour period, from most to least

Answer 1

Answer:

Tilt = 23 1/2 (Florida Summer)

Tilt = 0

Tilt = 23 1/2

Tilt = 45

Tilt = 90

Explanation:

• From the most daylight to the least daylight the tilt of the planet on its axis will form the 23 and a half in the northern hemisphere that gets most of the sun and the equator as 0 degree has amp;e of sunlight through the day in north and south side and the winter again in the southern hemisphere as 23 and half degree.

• The angle of the 45 degrees s darkness as in the winter season and due to the titled nature of the axis and the distance from the sun. And the angle of 90 degrees again has darkness as the sun is too far and daylight becomes shorter with the extremes.
