These are, therefore, called temperate zones. As such, the areas bounded by the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic circle in the northern hemisphere, and the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic circle in the southern hemisphere, have moderate temperatures.
The angle of the sun’s rays goes on decreasing towards the poles. The mid-day sun never shines overhead on any latitude beyond the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.This area, therefore, receives the maximum heat and is called the torrid zone. The mid-day sun is exactly overhead at least once a year on all latitudes in between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.Antarctic circle at 66½° south of the equator.Arctic circle at 66½° north of the equator.Tropic of Capricorn (23½° S) in the southern hemisphere.Tropic of Cancer (23½° N) in the northern hemisphere.Besides the equator (0°), the north pole (90°N) and the south pole (90° S), there are four important parallels of latitudes–.The average is taken as 69 miles (111km). For example at the equator (0°) it is 68.704 miles, at 45° it is 69.054 miles and at the poles it is 69.407 miles.As the earth is slightly flattened at the poles, the linear distance of a degree of latitude at the pole is a little longer than that at the equator.Latitude is the angular distance of a point on the earth’s surface, measured in degrees from the center of the earth.
Example: The location of New Delhi is 28° N, 77° E.And the location of a place on the earth can be mentioned in terms of latitudes and longitudes. Latitudes and Longitudes are imaginary lines used to determine the location of a place on earth.Angie Carraway, at 601.484.8660, or email more information on CEF, visit.

Sponsored by the Chemical Educational Foundation, the challenge provides opportunitiesįor various individuals and organizations, including schools, chemical industry members,Įducators, and other community partners, to unite and show their support for STEMĮducation. The science of chemistry and elevates STEM careers. The You Be The Chemist® Challenge is a collaborative, multi-level student science competition that celebrates The College's Science and Wellness Division hosted the regional contest earlier this Shelton Pace, and Eiljah Sliger, won the East Mississippi Regional Challenge for the You Be The Chemist® Challenge at Meridian Community College and are now the state champions of the competition.
