  3. Ques. #1 The diagram represents the altitude of the Sun on 3 different dates at one location in NYS. Which date is most likely repre- sented by “A”? December 21st Back Ans.

  4. Ques. #2 What event is depicted in the diagram? A solar eclipse Back Ans.

  5. Ques. #3 For how many days a year is the Sun directly overhead at a location at 12 degrees S latitude? 2 days Back Ans.

  6. Ques. #4 What date is represented by this illustration? Either equinox Back Ans.

  7. Ques. #5 Give 2 reasons why it’s warmer in the summer. • More direct (intense) insolation • 2) Greater duration of insolation Back Ans.

  8. Ques. #6 What is the duration of insolation for a location on the equator on December 21st? 12 hours. The same as every other day. Back Ans.

  9. Ques. #7 In which phase was the moon during the event depicted in the diagram? New moon Back Ans.

  10. Ques. #8 On which day of the year would a vertical pole cast the longest shadow at noon for a location in New York State. December 21st Back Ans.

  11. Ques. #9 For how many days a year is the Sun directly overhead at Massena, NY? No days Back Ans.

  12. Ques. #10 About how long does it take the moon to move from position 2 to position 6? Just over 11 days Back Ans.

  13. Ques. #11 What kind of tide is represented in the diagram? A spring tide Back Ans.

  14. Ques. #12 Which letter shows a phase of the moon at a point in it’s orbit farthest from the Earth? Letter ‘B’ Back Ans.

  15. Ques. #13 Which letter location is receiving the greatest duration of insolation? Location ‘E’ Back Ans.

  16. Ques. #14 The diagram represents a vertical pole at a location in New York State at solar noon. Which letter is on the south side of the pole? Letter ‘A’ Back Ans.

  17. Ques. #15 Where and when was this illustration made? On the equator on an equinox Back Ans.

  18. Ques. #16 Near which city in New York State and on what date was this diagram made? Binghamton, Elmira, or Jamestown on an equinox. Back Ans.

  19. Ques. #17 Why does the pendulum in the diagram change it’s direction of swing over a 24 hour period? Because of the rotation of the Earth. Back Ans.

  20. Ques. #18 At what latitude was this celestial sphere diagram made? 23.5 degrees north – the Tropic of Cancer Back Ans.

  21. Ques. #19 What phase must the moon be in in order for a lunar eclipse to occur? Full moon Back Ans.

  22. Ques. #20 About how many degrees does the Earth move in it’s revolution of the Sun in the same time the Moon goes through one complete set of phases? About 29 degrees Back Ans.

  23. Ques. #21 The actual path of the water differs from the expected path because of the Earth’s rotation. By what name is this phenomenon known? The Coriolis effect Back Ans.

  24. Ques. #22 What is the season in the Northern Hemi- sphere when the Earth is at position D? Spring Back Ans.

  25. Ques. #23 Describe what happens to the length of a noon shadow for a location in NYS from the Autumnal equinox to the Vernal equinox. Increases, then decreases, then increases again. Back Ans.

  26. Ques. #24 Which numbered location has the highest tide? Location 4 Back Ans.

  27. Ques. #25 On December 21st, which latitude has the greatest intensity of insolation? 23.5 degrees South (Tropic of Capricorn) Back Ans.

  28. Ques. #26 Why do we see different stars and constellations in summer than we do in winter? The Earth has moved to a different point in space as it revolves around the Sun. Back Ans.

  29. Ques. #27 How long is a lunar day? 27.3 Earth days Back Ans.

  30. Ques. #28 At which numbered position did the observer have the longest shadow? Position 4 Back Ans.

  31. Ques. #29 In which direction must an observer face to see the sun at noon in New York State? South Back Ans.

  32. Ques. #30 Why is the far side of the moon always facing away from the Earth? Because the moon’s period of revolution is the same as it’s period of rotation. Back Ans.

  33. YOU’RE A WINNER! When the Earth is between the Sun and the moon there is a lunar eclipse.
