Learning goals 3.3

KNOWLEDGE

• You know what the consequences are of the angled position of the Earth's axis for day and night on Earth.
• You can explain why the angled position of the Earth influences the seasons and temperature on Earth.
  

SKILLS

• You can make a drawing of the Earth with respect to the Sun for different times of the year.
  

The Earth's axis is at an angle. For the Netherlands this means:
on 21 March: Sun directly above the Equator, spring begins
on 21 June: Sun directly above Tropic of Cancer, summer begins
on 21 September: Sun directly above the Equator, autumn begins
on 21 December: Sun directly above Tropic of Capricorn, winter begins

In which month are the northern lights visible at the North Pole during the polar night?

When the Sun does not drop below the horizon, it is light 24 hours a day. This is called polar day.
