Question

use the image of the earth and sun below to answer the following question
which of the following explains what occurs in the northern and southern hemispheres at point c?
neither hemisphere receives direct sunlight, but only indirect sunlight.
both hemispheres receive equal amounts of direct and indirect sunlight.
the northern hemisphere receives less direct sunlight than the southern hemisphere.
the northern hemisphere receives more direct sunlight than the southern hemisphere.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Earth's position at Point C

At Point C, the Earth's axis is tilted such that the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun.

Step2: Determine sunlight distribution

When a hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, it receives less direct sunlight. So, the Northern Hemisphere receives less direct sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere.

Answer:

The Northern Hemisphere receives less direct sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere.
