Why are the sun's rays never vertical on the Arctic Circle
  • 2 answers

Yogita Ingle 4 years, 6 months ago

The Arctic Circle lies at 66 and ½ degree north of the equator. The earth rotates on its orbit around the sun and completes its rotation and revolution. The earth receives the rays of the sun horizontally and we perceive it as vertical.  

Some consider the direct rays of sun as vertical rays that are received by the equatorial region.  The arctic region receives sunlight for 24 hours in summers, but they are not vertical rays as the sun is at a low elevation from arctic region.
