The diagrams given below show the earth and sun in different positions during the different times of the day and the position of the earth each year.

As per the diagram each position represents one season. The northern hemisphere will receive the most sunlight when the earth is tiled more towards the north such as the diagram on the left-hand side will get max insolation due it the vertical rays of the sun. As we have 12 hours of the day and 12 hrs. of night time. Hence the earth rotating on it axis will have sunlight for most hours per day.

Left position

Explanation:

The figure is representing the motion of revolution of the Earth around the Sun.

This motion lasts approximately 365 days (one year). Since the axis of rotation of the Earth is tilted (by about 23 degrees from the vertical), the amount of light received by different parts of the Earth at the different part of the year is different.

In fact, we observe 4 "extreme" cases:

- Situation at the bottom: here the situation is symmetrical in the two hemispheres, which receive an equal amount of light. So, we have 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of dark at every point on Earth - this is called equinox, and it occurs in September

- Situation on the right: here we see that the Southern Hemisphere receive much more light than the Northern Hemisphere - so the Southern Hemisphere has more hours of sunlight per day. This is called winter solstice, and it occurs in December - in this case, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere and winter in the Northern Hemisphere

- Situation at the top: here the situation is symmetrical in the two hemispheres, which receive an equal amount of light. So, we have 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of dark at every point on Earth - this is called equinox, and it occurs in March

- Situation on the left: here we see that the Northern Hemisphere receive much more light than the Southern Hemisphere - so the Northern Hemisphere has more hours of sunlight per day. This is called summer solstice, and it occurs in June - in this case, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere

Your answer is c. explanation: plasma is the fourth state of matter, derived from the gaseous state of matter. plasma can contain free electrons and/or ions. while plasma is never neutral, it can either be positively or negatively charged. gases, however, are electrically neutral.

Two 1.20-m nonconducting wires meet at a right angle. one segment carries + 2.50 µc of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries - 2.50 µc distributed uniformly along it, as shown in fig. 21.50. ( a. find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these wires produce at point p, which is 60.0 cm from each wire. ( b. if an electron is released at p, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force that these wires exert on it?

Aboat radioed a distress call to a coast guard station. at the time of the call, a vector a from the station to the boat had a magnitude of 45.0 km and was directed 15.0° east of north. a vector from the station to the point where the boat was later found is = 30.0 km, 15.0° north of east. what are the components of the vector from the point where the distress call was made to point where the boat was found? in other words, what are the components of vector c = b - a?
