Question

The diagram shows the position of earth during solstice. select the area that would be getting around 24 hours of daylight each day.

Answer 1

The answer is Artic Circle Zone (red square at the top)

Explanation:

A solstice occurs two times in a year when the Sun reaches farther either the south or the north of Earth. In the image presented, there is a solstice because the sunlight reachers farther in the North. Additionally, this phenomenon occurs due to the tilt (inclination) of Earth, and it increases the number of daylight/night hours in different zones.

In the case of the Arctic Circle Zone (north pole) it is likely during the solstice, this zone has around 24 of daylight each day because almost all this zone is directly exposed to the sunlight, and therefore this will always be reached by sunrays despite the rotation of Earth (rotation of Earth in its axis). On the other hand, other zones will not be exposed to sunlight all the time because the location and rotation will cause these areas are in the dark zone of Earth during specific hours every day.

Answer 2

Answer: The top red square near the axis.

Explanation:

Ok, the Earth's axis is the "line" around which the Earth rotates.

This means that after a rotation, the 3 bottom red boxes will be in the dark side of the diagram ( for example, if you have a ball and you grab it with the logo facing you, when you rotate the ball, the logo will be in the other side, and you will not be able to see the logo).

Now, as the area near the axis actually does not move that much, the red square near the axis (the top red square) will be most likely getting 24 hours of light each day.
