The solar equator, the region of Earth where the sun is directly overhead, moves from 23.5°N to 23.5°S latitudes and back over the course of a year. Why? a. Earth wobbles on its axis during the year; b. The position of the poles changes by this amount annually; c. Earth's axis is 23.5° from perpendicular to the rays of the sun; d. Earth moves 23.5° toward the sun in summer and 23.5° away from the sun in winter; e. Ocean currents carry heat from the tropical ocean north in summer and south in winter

Hello everyone. And in today's video we have to follow a problem. So the blank solstice occurs when the sun is located directly over the 23.5 north latitude and the blank solstice occurs when the sun is located directly over the 23.5 south latitude. Now, just in case you've forgotten the summer, solstice occurs when the earth stilt towards the sun is a maximum, or when the sun is located directly above the earth, and this happens when it is located in the 23.5 north latitude. So this is going to be the summer solstice. However, the winter solstice occurs when the sun is located directly over the tropic of Capricorn. And if you know anything about this, it is located to the south, so this 23.5 degrees south latitude is going to be actually the summer. The winter solstice And so that is what we're going to put in each of the planks. So the summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly located over the 23.5° North latitude. And the winter solstice occurs when the sun is located directly over the 23.5 degrees south latitude. So that is going to be the final answer to our question, which involves answer choice. A I really hope this video helped
