Answer the following questions: (marks:2)
1.) What is called the Tropic of Cancer?
Ans: A parallel in the northern hemisphere at an angular distance of 23°30′ from the equator. All the places located in the area between the equator and this parallel experience perpendicular sun rays twice a year. This is called the tropic of Cancer. This parallel forms the northern limit of the apparent movement of the sun observed from the earth. After reaching this parallel, the sun appears to be moving towards the south.
2.) What is called the Tropic of Capricorn?
Ans: the 23°30′ parallel in the southern hemisphere is called the tropic of Capricorn. Up to this parallel, the sunrays can be perpendicular. All places located between the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn experience perpendicular sunrays twice in a year. It defines the southern limit of the apparent movement of the sun. After reaching this latitude, the sun appears to move in a northward direction.
3.) What do you know about the Arctic Circle?
Ans: The parallel of latitude in the northern hemisphere having an angular distance of 66°30′ from the equator. This parallel determines the limit of sunshine duration. The maximum duration of sunshine to the south of this latitude is up to 24 hours whereas it goes on increasing towards its north and becomes 6 months at the North Pole. This is called the Arctic Circle.
4.) What do you know about the Antarctic Circle?
Ans: Thee parallel of latitude in the southern hemisphere having an angular distance of 66°30′ from the equator. This parallel determines the limit of sunshine duration. The maximum duration of sunshine to the north of this latitude is up to 24 hours whereas it goes on increasing towards its south and becomes 6 months at the South Pole. This is called the Antarctic Circle.
