The day is defined as the period when sunlight reaches the ground in the absence of local obstacles.

From the Earth, the Sun appears as a disc rather than a single point of light, so when the center of the

Sun is below the horizon, its upper edge is visible. Furthermore, the atmosphere refracts light, so even

when the upper limb of the Sun is below the horizon, its rays reach over the horizon to the ground. In

sunrise/sunset tables, the assumed semi-diameter (apparent radius) of the Sun is 16 minutes of arc and

the atmospheric refraction is assumed to be 34 minutes of arc. Their combination means that when the

upper limb of Sun is on the visible horizon, its center is 50 minutes of arc below the geometric horizon,

which is the intersection with the celestial sphere of a horizontal plane through the eye of the observer.

These cumulative effects make the day about 14 minutes longer than the night at the Equator and

longer still towards the Poles. The real equality of day and night only happens in places far enough from

the Equator to have a seasonal difference in day length of at least 7 minutes, actually occurring a few

days towards the winter side of each equinox.

Night or nighttime is the period of time when the sun is below the horizon. This occurs after dusk. The

opposite of night is day (or "daytime" to distinguish it from "day" as used for a 24-hour period). The start

and end times of night vary based on factors such asseason, latitude, longitude and time-zone. At any

given time, one side of the planet Earth is bathed in light from the Sun (the daytime) and the other side

of the Earth is in the shadow caused by the Earth blocking the light of the sun. This shadow is what we

call the darkness of night.

The Earth currently has an axial tiltof about 23.5.[2] The axis remains tilted in the same direction

towards the stars throughout a year and this means that when a hemisphere (a northern or southern

half of the earth) is pointing away from the Sun at one point in the orbit then half an orbit later (half a

year later) this hemisphere will be pointing towards the Sun. This effect is the main cause of the seasons

(see effect of sun angle on climate). Whichever hemisphere is currently tilted toward the Sun

experiences more hours of sunlight each day, and the sunlight at midday also strikes the ground at an

angle nearer the vertical and thus delivers more energy per unit surface area.

Tilt to its orbit in the Earth-Moon system. Moon's tilt is 1.5424 (0.02692 radians) to ecliptic

Like changes in precession and eccentricity, changes in tilt influence the relative strength of theseasons,

but the effects of the tilt cycle are particularly pronounced in the high latitudes where the great ice ages

began. An equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor

towards the Sun, the center of the Sun being in the same plane as the Earth's equator. The term equinox

can also be used in a broader sense, meaning the date when such a passage happens. The name

"equinox" is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the equinox, the

night and day have approximately equal length.

Although the word equinox is often understood to mean "equal [day and] night", this is not strictly true.

For most locations on earth, there are two distinct identifiable days per year when the length of day and

night are closest to being equal; those days are referred to as the "equiluxes" to distinguish them from

the equinoxes. Equinoxes are points in time, but equiluxes are days. By convention, equiluxes are thedays where sunrise and sunset are closest to being exactly 12 hours apart.

The Earth at the start of the 4 (astronomical) seasons as seen from the north and ignoring the

atmosphere (no clouds, no twilight). The axial tilt of Earth and gyroscopic effects of the planet's daily

rotation keep the axis of rotation pointed at the same point in the sky. As the Earth follows its orbit

around the Sun, the same hemisphere that faced away from the Sun, experiencing winter, will, in half a

year, face towards the Sun and experience summer. Since the two hemispheres face opposite directions

along the planetary pole, as one polar hemisphere experiences winter, the other experiences summer.

Far left: summer solstice for the Northern Hemisphere.

Front right: summer solstice for the Southern Hemisphere.

The summer solstice occurs exactly when the axial tilt of a planet's semi-axis in a given hemisphere is

most inclined towards the star that it orbits. Earth's maximum axial tilt to our star, the Sun, during a

solstice is 23 26'. Though the summer solstice is an instant in time, the term is also colloquially used like

Midsummer to refer to the day on which it occurs. Except in the polar regions (where daylight is

continuous for many months), the day on which the summer solstice occurs is the day of the year with

the longest period of daylight.


5/13



The summer solstice occurs in June in the Northern Hemisphere north of the Northern Tropic (2326'N)

and in December in the Southern Hemisphere south of the Northern Tropic (2326'S). The Sun reaches

its highest position in the sky on the day of the summer solstice.

The left diagram displays the Northern tropic, is the circle of latitude on the Earth that marks the most

northerly position at which the Sun may appear directly overhead at its zenith. This event occurs onceper year, at the time of the June solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun to its

maximum extent.

The right diagram displays a graticule on a sphere or an ellipsoid. The lines from pole to pole are lines of

constant longitude, or meridians. The circles parallel to the equator are lines of constant latitude, or

parallels. The graticule determines the latitude and longitude of positions on the surface.

The winter solstice is the time at which the Sun is at its southernmost point in the sky (northernmost

point in the Southern Hemisphere) appearing at noon at its lowest altitude above the horizon.[2] The

winter solstice usually occurs on December 21 to 22 each year in the Northern Hemisphere, and June 20to 21 in the Southern Hemisphere.

More evident from high latitudes, a hemisphere's winter solstice occurs on the shortest day and longest

night of the year, when the sun's daily maximum elevation in the sky is the lowest.[4] Since the winter

solstice lasts only a moment in time, other terms are often used for the day on which it occurs, such as

"midwinter", "the longest night", "the shortest day" or ""the first day of winter". The seasonal

significance of the winter solstice is in the reversal of the gradual lengthening of nights and shortening of

days.

In each hemisphere, the higher the latitude, the shorter the day during winter. Between winter and

summer solstice, the day's duration increases, and the rate of increase is larger the higher the latitude. A

fast increase of day length is what allows a very short day on winter solstice at 60 degrees latitude

(either north or south) to reach about 12 hours by the spring equinox, while a slower increase is

required for a much longer day on winter solstice at 20 degrees latitude (again, either north or south) to

reach 12 hours by the spring equinox.


6/13



The summer and winter solstices mark the shortest and the longest night, respectively. The closer a

location is to either the North Pole or the South Pole, the larger the range of variation in the night's

length.

The rate of change of day duration is generally fastest at the equinoxes, although at high latitudes the

change is similar for several weeks before and after the equinoxes. The rate of change of day duration ateach solstice is zero as the change goes from positive to negative, or vice versa.

atmosphere (no clouds, no twilight).

Far left: winter solstice for the Southern Hemisphere. Front

right: winter solstice for the Northern Hemisphere.

Interesting facts to know:

On the Equator, the duration of daylight is not exactly 12 hours all the year round, but rather due to

atmospheric refraction and the size of the Sun exceeds 12 hours by about 7 minutes each day;

Because the sun is north of the equator for almost 4 days more than half the year, the duration of theaverage day at a given latitude in the northern hemisphere exceeds the duration of the average day at

the same latitude in the southern hemisphere by a few minutes;

During a few days around the equinoxesabout March 1922 and September 2124both poles

experience simultaneously 24 hours of daytime, due mainly to atmospheric refraction.


7/13



Each pole has only one sunrise and one sunset per year, around the time of the equinoxes. Each poles

sunrise is nearly coincident with the others sunset, with minor differences due mainly to atmo spheric

refraction.

June 21 is called the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and simultaneously the winter

solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. Around December 21 the solstices are reversed and winter beginsin the northern hemisphere.

The following diagram shows the relation between the line of solstice and the line of apsides of Earth's

elliptical orbit. The orbital ellipse (with eccentricity exaggerated for effect) goes through each of the six

Earth images, which are sequentially the perihelion (periapsisnearest point to the sun) on anywhere

from 2 January to 5 January, the point of March equinox on 20 or 21 March, the point of June solstice on

20 or 21 June, the aphelion (apoapsisfarthest point from the sun) on anywhere from 4 July to 7 July,

the September equinox on 22 or 23 September, and the December solstice on 21 or 22 December.

In astronomical reckoning, the solstices and equinoxes ought to be the middle of the respective seasons,

but, because of thermal lag, regions with a continental climate often consider these four dates to be the

start of the seasons as in the diagram, with the cross-quarter days considered seasonal midpoints. Thelength of these seasons is not uniform because of the elliptical orbit of the earth and its different speeds

along that orbit. From the March equinox it takes 92.75 days until the June solstice, then 93.65 days

until the September equinox, 89.85 days until the December solstice and finally 88.99 days until the

March equinox.


8/13



Seasonalweatherdifferences between hemispheres are further caused by the elliptical orbit of Earth.

Earth reaches perihelion (the point in its orbit closest to the Sun) in January, and it reaches aphelion

(farthest point from the Sun) in July. Even though the effect this has on Earth's seasons is minor, it does

noticeably soften the northern hemisphere's winters and summers. In the southern hemisphere, the

opposite effect is observed. Seasonalweatherfluctuations (changes) also depend on factors such as

proximity to oceans or other large bodies of water, currents in those oceans, El Nio/ENSO and other

oceanic cycles, and prevailing winds. Without the tilt of the earth's axis, we would have no seasons. The

sun's rays would be directly overhead of the equator all year long. Only a slight change would occur as

the earth makes its slightly elliptical orbit around the sun. The earth is furthest from the sun about July

3; this point is known as the aphelion and the earth is 94,555,000 miles away from the sun. The

perihelion takes place about January 4 when the earth is a mere 91,445,000 miles from the sun.

The seasons result from the Earth's axis being tilted to its orbital plane; it deviates by an angle of

approximately 23.5 degrees. Thus, at any given time during summer or winter, one part of the planet is

more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun (see Fig. 1 on next page). This exposure alternates as the

Earth revolves in its orbit. Therefore, at any given time, regardless of season, the northern and southernhemispheres experience opposite seasons. The effect of axis tilt is observable from the change in day

length, and altitude of the Sun at noon (the culmination of the Sun), during a year.

What are the different types of Tides

When the sun and moon are aligned, there are exceptionally strong gravitational forces, causing very

high and very low tides which are called spring tides, though they have nothing to do with the season.

When the sun and moon are not aligned, the gravitational forces cancel each other out, and the tides

are not as dramatically high and low. These are called neap tides.

9/13



Fig. 1

This is a diagram of the seasons. Regardless of

the time of day (i.e. the Earth's rotation on its

axis), the North Pole will be dark, and the South

Pole will be illuminated; see also arctic winter. In

addition to the density of incident light, the

dissipation of light in the atmosphere is greaterwhen it falls at a shallow angle.

Tides are not caused by the direct pull of the

moon's gravity. The moon is pulling upwards on

the water while the earth is pulling downward.

Slight advantage to the moon and thus we have

tides. Whenever the Moon, Earth and Sun are

aligned, the gravitational pull of the sun adds to

that of the moon causing maximum tides. Spring

tides happen when the sun and moon are on the

same side of the earth (New Moon) or when thesun and moon are on opposite sides of the earth

(Full Moon).

When the Moon is at first quarter or last

quarter phase (meaning that it is located at right

angles to the Earth-Sun line), the Sun and Moon

interfere with each other in producing tidal

bulges and tides are generally weaker; these are

called neap tides.

Because the earth rotates on its axis the moon

completes one orbit in our sky every 25 hours

(Not to be confused with moon's 27 day orbit

around the earth), we get two tidal peaks as well

as two tidal troughs. These events are separated

by about 12 hours. The highest tides in the

world are at the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia,

Canada.

The word "tides" is a generic term used to define the alternating

rise and fall in sea level with respect to the land, produced by the

gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun. To a much

smaller extent, tides also occur in large lakes, the atmosphere, and

within the solid crust of the earth, acted upon by these same

gravitational forces of the moon and sun.

Spring Tides

When the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon

and sun are combined. At these times, the high tides are very high

and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide.

Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything

to do with the season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun,

and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon

and the Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during

the full moon and the new moon.

Neap Tides

During the moon's quarter phases the sun and moon work at right

angles, causing the bulges to cancel each other. The result is a

smaller difference between high and low tides and is known as a

neap tide. Neap tides are especially weak tides. They occur when

the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular

to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occur during

quarter moons.

Spring tides and neap tide levels are about 20% higher or lower

than average. Offshore, in the deep ocean, the difference in tides

is usually less than 1.6 feet

The surf grows when it approaches a beach, and the tide increases.In bays and estuaries, this effect is amplified. (In the Bay of Fundy,

tides have a range of 44.6 ft.)

Since the moon moves around the Earth, it is not always in the

same place at the same time each day. So, each day, the times for

high and low tides change by 50 minutes.


10/13



These images shows the Earth's sunlight on the equinoxes and solstices at exactly the same time of day

(UT). The Equinoxes have equal sunlight in the northern and southern hemispheres while the solstices

have a maximum sunlight in alternate hemispheres. When summer occurs in a hemisphere, it is due to

that hemisphere receiving more direct rays of the sun than the opposite hemisphere where it is winter.

In winter, the sun's energy hits the earth at oblique angles and is thus less concentrated.

During spring and fall, the earth's axis is pointing sideways so both hemispheres have moderate weather

and the rays of the sun are directly overhead the equator. Between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic

of Capricorn (23.5 latitude south) there really are no seasons as the sun is never very low in the sky so it

stays warm and humid ("tropical") year-round. Only those people in the upper latitudes north and south

of the tropics experience seasons.


11/13



On June 21, there are 24 hours

of daylight north of the Arctic

Circle (66.5 north of the

equator) and 24 hours of

darkness south of the Antarctic

Circle (66.5 south of the

equator). The sun's rays are

directly overhead along the

Tropic of Cancer (the latitude

line at 23.5 north, passing

through Mexico, Saharan Africa,

and India) on June 21.

Nights are shorter than days on average due to two factors. Firstly, the sun is not a point, but has an

apparent size of about 32 arc minutes. Secondly, the atmosphere refracts sunlight so that some of it

reaches the ground when the sun is below the horizon by about 34 arc minutes. The combination of

these two factors means that light reaches the ground when the center of the sun is below the horizon

by about 50 arc minutes. Without these effects, day and night would be the same length at the

autumnal (autumn/fall) and vernal (spring)equinoxes, the moments when the sun passes over the

equator. In reality, around the equinoxes the day is almost 14 minutes longer than the night at the

equator, and even more towards the poles. Although equinoxes occur with a day and night close to

equal length, before and after an equinox the ratio of night to day changes more rapidly in high latitude

locations than in low latitude locations. An example in the Northern Hemisphere, Denmark has shorter

nights in June than India has. In the Southern Hemisphere, Antarctica has longer nights in June than

Chile has. The Northern and Southern Hemispheres of the world experience the same patterns of night

length at the same latitudes, but the cycles are 6 months apart so that one hemisphere experiences long

nights (winter) while the other is experiencing short nights (summer).

Recap:What are Lunar Tides? Tides are created because the Earth and the moon are attracted to eachother, just like magnets are attracted to each other. The moon tries to pull at anything on the Earth to

bring it closer. But, the Earth is able to hold onto everything except the water. Since the water is always

moving, the Earth cannot hold onto it, and the moon is able to pull at it. Each day, there are two high

tides and two low tides. The ocean is constantly moving from high tide to low tide, and then back to high

tide. There is about 12 hours and 25 minutes between the two high tides.
