1. Handout 7
An imaginary line that divides the Earth in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
The distance of a location in degrees north and south of the equator. The latitude of the equator is 0 degrees.
Climate wise, as you move further from the equator in either direction it would tend to be getting colder due to the fact you are not getting direct sunlight all of the time.

2. 4 North of the equator, above the Tropic of Cancer Northern Hemisphere
South of the equator, Southern Hemisphere
South of the equator, Below Tropic of Capricorn,
Southern Hemisphere

5. Anchorage, AK Quito, Ecuador6
Anchorage, AK
Quito, Ecuador 7
The city is close to the North Pole, and therefore experiences the most change due to the tilt and orbit. 8
The city is on the Equator so the amount of sunlight that it gets is not affected by the Earth's tilt. 9 10
Their temperatures and daylight hours are comparable due to their latitude, but their seasons are reversed.
Because of the tilt of the Earth, the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere point in different directions and so they are affected differently by the Sun. 11

Everywhere on Earth gets 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. This marks the beginning of Spring.

Everywhere on Earth gets 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. This marks the beginning of Autumn, and the nights begin to get longer than the days in the Northern Hemisphere.
The longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
This marks the beginning of Winter.

June 21
March 21
These are the dates for each season in the Southern hemisphere
because the amount of direct and indirect sunlight is opposite that of the Northern hemisphere.
