Q. On June 21 every year, which of the following latitude(s) experience(s) a sunlight of more than 12 Hours?
1. Equator
2. Tropic of Cancer
3. Tropic of Capricorn 4. Arctic Circle
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Answer: D
Notes:
Exp) Option d is the correct answer.
Option 2 and 4 are correct. on 21st June, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. The rays of the sun fall directly on the Tropic of Cancer. As a result, these areas receive more heat. Sunlight of more than 12 hours is received at tropic of cancer. The North Pole is inclined towards the sun and the places beyond the Arctic Circle experience continuous daylight for about six months. Since a large portion of the Northern Hemisphere is getting light from the sun, it is summer in the regions north of the equator. The longest day and the shortest night at these places occur on 21st June.
