7. Which degree of tilt produced light similar to what North America experiences in summer? Explain your answer
*Based on the four seasons portfolio
I need help with this bevause I dont understand what it is asking. Is it asking for the areas or the degree? if its the degree, how could I find that??
why are you being so mean
I happen to live in North America, near 45ºN latitude (Maine)
on the summer solstice (northernmost sun), the Sun is directly overhead on the Tropic of Cancer (about 23ºN lat)
this means that the Sun is 22º south of the vertical (directly overhead) at noon
North America covers a pretty large area; so, based on the particular location, the angle of the sun varies substantially
So we did this experiment where we tested the light from a flash light on a piece of paper angled 0° 10° 20° 30° 40° as the paper was tilted more the light was spread out and more dim on the edges and bright in the center (equator representation) so the question asks what degree (0-40) best represents north america during summer. Not 100 percent sure on that though. And since summer is the hottest part of the year that means it's getting the most sunlight and we know the max degree the Earth can be is 23.5° so the answer must be 20°. Like I said I'm definitely not 100 percent sure on this but If someone smarter than me can better understand the question based off what I wrote and my answer is wrong please correct me so more people don't have to be confused by this .
Which degree of tilt (0-green, 10-blue, 20-purple, 30-orange or 40-black) produced light similar to what North America experiences in summer?
This is my question, if anyone knows what the answer is I would highly appreciate it if you guy's could help me with it. Thanks
Don't get confused in this I thought we were helping each other?

btw
SOMEONE PLZZZZ
thank you littlerunaway you really helped me and I got a 107... idk why a 107 but I di great!!!!!tysmmmm
23.5 is the degree
bobpursley's answer has some information about the tilt
scott's answer has wide range of things you can say but you just have to fill in the rest.
