When the north end of the earths rotation axis is pointing at the sun what happens?
The northern part of the Earth warms up. It is the Northern Summer.
At the north end of the Earth's axis is the?
North Pole.
How will the hours of daylight for the North Pole change if the earths axis was always pointed toward the sun South Pole Equator your latitude?
If one end the Earth's axis always pointed toward the sun, then one pole would ALWAYS be in daylight, and the other pole would NEVER see daylight. Which is which would depend on which end of the axis pointed toward the sun. The Earth's "poles" are the ends of its axis of rotation. It's not possible for either end of the axis to point toward the equator or toward my latitude.
What is the true north pole?
The true north pole is the point at the northern end of the Earth's axis, around which the Earth rotates. It is the point where all lines of longitude converge and is different from the magnetic north pole which is where a compass needle points.
Why at the earths geometric north pole does the north end of a compass get pulled strongly downward?
Because the magnetic north points vertically downwards.
What two places marks the end of the axis?
The two places that mark the end of earths axis are North and south pole.
When the north end of the earths axis is toward the sun north America will experience what?
spring & summer
What is the south end of earths axis called in the northern hemisphere?
the north pole and south pole
When the north end of earths rotation axis is pointing toward the sun what statement is true?
It is June.
What two places mark the end of earths axis?
Antarctica and i don't know the other one sorry! but at least you got one of them :D
When the north end of the earths rotation axis is pointing at the sun what happens?
The northern part of the Earth warms up. It is the Northern Summer.
Is the north end of Earths axis tilted away from the sun during an equinox?
During an equinox, neither the North nor the South end of Earth's axis is tilted away from the Sun. This is because during an equinox, the tilt of Earth's axis is perpendicular to the Sun's rays, causing equal illumination of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
In winter which end of the earths axis is tilted away from the sun?
south
When the north end of Earths axis is tilted toward the sun North America will experience short days or long days?
More direct rays and longer days (summer).
At the north end of the Earth's axis is the?
North Pole.
When the south end of earths the axis is tilted toward the sun?
it is winter in the northern hemisphere
What is the earths axis point?
The north end of the earth's axis points toward a point in the sky that's a little less than 1/3 of a degree from Polaris. That's why, as close as we can tell by our eyes, Polaris appears to mark the north pole of the sky, everything else we can see appears to circle Polaris, and we call Polaris the 'North Star'. The south end of the earth's axis points to a spot in the southern sky with no comparably bright star nearby to mark it.
