Question

Where does the length of day remain the same throughout the year?

A. at the equator.
B. within 10 degrees of the South Pole.
C. within 10 degrees of the North Pole.
D. at the Tropic of Cancer.
E. at the Tropic of Capricorn.

Answer 1

The length of day remains the same throughout the year at the Tropic of Cancer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tropic of Cancer is at a latitude equal to Earth's tilt, so in this case, it would be at 16° N latitude. The Arctic Circle is at a latitude equal to 90° minus Earth's tilt, or 90° - 16° = 74°.

The difference between these two latitudes is 74° - 16° = 58°. Since the tilt of Earth is less, there would be less variation in the tilt of Earth and less variation in the Sun's paths throughout the year, so there would be milder seasonal changes.
