1. Use the figure to answer the folowing questions. a. Given that the Eath is closest to the Sun on about January 3 and farthest on about July 4. Why are these two days not the warmest and coldest, respectively, for the Northem Hemisphere? b. Calculate the percentage difference between these two distances using the following equation. Percentage difference = (Giongest distance $$/$$ shortest distance $$?1)?100$$ 2. On the figure below, provide the montes of occulronce and circle either equinex or solstice for. each phase of the Earth throughout the year. Nose; Be ture to note where the North Pole is in. relationship to the Circle of tllumination a. Month: Equinoxsolstice b. Month: Equinoxisolstice c. Month: EquinokSolstice: d. Month: Equinox/Solstice: Revolution of the Earth around the Sun. 3. Using the complesed figure above, answer the following questions: a. Indicate the pattern of lliumination at the North Pole during each of the four times of year above $$(0\mathrm{g}$$. when is it dark and when is it illuminated). b. How does the timing of illumination at the South Pole compare with that of the North Pole during the Solstices? 4. Using the figures below answer the following questions: a. What is the angle of the Earth's axis? b. Describe the orientation of the Earth's axis with respect to itself throughout the year. Tilt of the Earth. Tilt of the Earth throughout the Year. Part ll: The Seasons and Daylength 5. Complete the following figures by providing the month(s) in which the orientation shown occurs for esch figure. Also, circle either Equinox or Solstice indicating whether it is an Equinox or a Solistice Month: Equinox or Solstice 6. Go back to the previous thret fgures and label each arrow fepresenting a ray of sunlight as jirect (verticall or obllique, based on the manner in which it othes the Earth's surface. Also, label the subsolat point (as "SSP") on each figure. Nose: Subsolar point is the lattude the direct ray of the Sun strikes the surface of the Earth (also known as solar decination). 7. Conclusions: Describe the patem you have diagrammed. Throughout the year, what is the latitudinal range that receives direct solar radiation?
