The axis of the Earth is an imaginary line on which the Earth rotates.
00:00:06
It links up the two poles.
00:00:13
Both the axis and the Earth are tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees during a revolution.
00:00:16
The tilting of the axis results in direct sunlight falling on different places during different seasons.
00:00:24
This causes variations in the duration of days, nights, and seasons.
00:00:35
Relationship between the location of the overhead sun and the seasons
00:00:43
Similarly, the revolution of the Earth and the tilting of the axis
00:00:48
results in different angle of the sun during different periods.
00:00:55
When the sun is directly overhead, we call this the overhead sun.
00:00:59
At this time, the Earth's surface and the midday sun forms a 90-degree angle.
00:01:10
Different locations of the overhead sun results in variations in the amount of solar radiation received in different areas and at different periods.
00:01:18
Spring Equinox
00:01:29
On the 21st or 22nd of March, the overhead sun is over the equator.
00:01:33
The equator receives the largest amount of solar radiation.
00:01:43
At this time, the northern hemisphere is in the spring equinox,
00:01:50
while the southern hemisphere is in the autumn equinox.
00:01:55
The angle of the sun decreases towards the poles.
00:01:59
On this day, the two hemispheres receive a similar amount of solar radiation,
00:02:09
and the length of day and night is the same at all places on the Earth.
00:02:15
After this day, it is spring in the northern hemisphere, where the day is longer than the night.
00:02:24
In the southern hemisphere, it becomes autumn, when the day is shorter than the night.
00:02:30
Summer solstice
00:02:39
On the 21st or 22nd of June, the overhead sun is over the Tropic of Cancer.
00:02:41
It receives the largest amount of solar radiation.
00:02:50
At this time, the northern hemisphere is in the summer solstice,
00:02:54
while the Southern Hemisphere is in the winter solstice.
00:02:59
The angle of the sun decreases towards the poles.
00:03:06
On this day, the length of daytime of the Northern Hemisphere is the longest in the year,
00:03:14
while that of the Southern Hemisphere is the shortest in the year.
00:03:21
Besides, there are 24 hours of daylight at the Arctic Circle
00:03:30
and 24 hours of darkness at the Antarctic Circle.
00:03:35
Autumn Equinox
00:03:44
On the 22nd or 23rd of September, the overhead sun is over the equator again.
00:03:45
The equator receives the largest amount of solar radiation.
00:03:54
On this day, the northern hemisphere is in the autumn equinox,
00:03:59
while the southern hemisphere is in the spring equinox.
00:04:05
The angle of the sun decreases towards the poles.
00:04:12
On this day, the two hemispheres receive a similar amount of solar radiation,
00:04:20
and the length of day and night is the same at all places on the Earth.
00:04:26
After this day, it is autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, where the day is shorter than the night.
00:04:33
In the Southern Hemisphere, it becomes spring, when the day is longer than the night.
00:04:42
Winter Solstice
00:04:53
On the 21st and 22nd of December, the overhead sun is over the Tropic of Capricorn.
00:04:54
It receives the largest amount of solar radiation.
00:05:03
On this day, the northern hemisphere is in the winter solstice, while the southern hemisphere is in the summer solstice.
00:05:08
The angle of the sun decreases towards the poles.
00:05:20
On this day, the length of daytime in the northern hemisphere is the shortest in the year, while that of the southern hemisphere is the longest in the year.
00:05:28
There are 24 hours of darkness at the Arctic Circle and 24 hours of daylight at the Antarctic Circle.
