Energy and The SeasonsCurrent LectureForbes magazine claims Hawaii is the safest state in the U.S.I. Energy and The Seasonsa. Seasons are regulated by the amount of solar energy received from the suni. Angle of the sun’s rays is important!1. If the rays are at an angle, the solar energy gets spread out and does not warm as much surfaceb. Vernal equinox: March 20thi. Sun is directly overhead at the equatorii. All latitudes receive 12 hours of daylightiii. Each day after the vernal equinox gets successively longer until the summer solsticec. Summer solstice: June 21sti. Northern hemisphere is directed toward the sunii. The sun is at its highest position in the noon sky1. Directly overhead of the Tropic of Cancerd. Autumnal equinox: September 22ndi. Sun is directly overhead at the equatorii. All latitudes receive 12 hours of daylightiii. Each day after the autumnal equinox gets successively shorter until the winter solsticee. Winter solstice: December 21sti. Northern hemisphere is directed away from the sunii. The sun is at its highest position in the noon sky1. Directly overhead of the Tropic of CapricornThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.

Distance from the sung. When the Northern hemisphere tilts toward the sun, there are higher solar angles and longer days, which equates to high temperaturesi. Northern hemisphere
