Question

For an observer at a northern latitude, when the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun, the day lasts:

• A. longer and the Sun appears lower in the sky
• B. shorter and the Sun appears higher in the sky
• C. longer and the Sun appears higher in the sky
• D. shorter and the Sun appears lower in the sky

Hint:

During summer in the Northern Hemisphere, days are longer and the Sun appears higher due to Earth's axial tilt.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

When the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun (as during the June solstice), the Northern Hemisphere experiences summer. In this condition:
- The Sun takes a longer path across the sky.
- The days are longer.
- The Sun appears higher in the sky.
