certain latitude can be found by dividing

the length of the parallel by 360 since every parallel has an angle of 350 at the centre For instance, the length between C and D in the diagr m ̇is equal to t/360 of the length of the equator, gnd:AB. equals to 1/360 of the. Length of the 80° parallel. However, the parallels are lot circles of equal magnitude, but they get progressively smaller away from: the gquator. Cansequently, the length in miles of 1 Aongitude increases from high latitudes to the equatow

On the contrary, the lengthin miles: od remains constant an all longitudes, for i can be calculated by dividing the length of. the: longitude line by 180 since every meridian. has an angle of 180 at the centre. But all meridians are of equal magnitude. Therefore,

The earth spins on its axis once every 24 hours, giving rise to the phenomenon of day and night, The half of the earth facine: the sun will be lit up by the sun's rays, "while the other half will be in darkness.

However, the earth's axis is permanently tilted at an angle of 661° to the earth's Orbital Plane, As a result, the Northern Hemi-J sphere is tilted towards: the sun while at other times, it is turned away from it..

Between March 21st and September 23rd, vu sun has a northern declination. That is to say, the sun is overhead at a certain latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. As illustrated in: the diagram below, all places lying to the north of the equator, on June 21st for instance have to rotate through a longer length of light than darkness,

days are longer than nights.
