The sun sets in a more slanted/diagonal direction at high latitude locations throughout the year (which is why twilight at these locations can be more than two whole hours), whereas at tropical latitudes the sun sets in a near vertical direction so the twilight period can only be 45-50 minutes.

Why are waters at the equator warmer than waters at higher latitudes?

Because the waters are heated throughout the whole year and not just in the summer as at higher latitudes.

Why do hurricanes rarely from in higher latitudes?

Hurricanes form in warm tropical waters and the conditions aren't right in higher northern latitudes because the temperature of the water is cold.


Do all latitudes have equal sunlight hours in one year disregarding twilight?

Yes, all latitudes have equal sunlight hours in one year disregarding twilight, if you mean daylight hours rather than direct sun, which may be affected by cloud cover.


Why are tides higher in higher latitudes than in tropics?

Tides are generally higher in higher latitudes compared to the tropics due to the shape and dynamics of ocean basins. In higher latitudes, the continental shelf is often broader and shallower, which amplifies tidal ranges through a process called resonance. Additionally, the Coriolis effect is stronger at higher latitudes, influencing tidal currents and contributing to larger tidal variations. In contrast, the narrower, deeper ocean basins in tropical regions tend to produce smaller tidal ranges.

What do higher latitudes climates become?

At higher latitudes, climates generally become colder due to the Earth's tilt causing more indirect sunlight to reach these regions. This results in shorter and cooler summers, longer and harsher winters, and a higher likelihood of snow and ice cover. Additionally, seasonal variation in daylight hours becomes more pronounced, with long summer days and long winter nights.

Why does dusk last longer in some places?

Dusk lasts longer in some places due to the angle of the Earth's tilt and its position in orbit around the sun. Regions closer to the poles experience a shallower angle of sunset, leading to a more gradual transition from day to night. Additionally, atmospheric conditions, such as humidity and pollution, can scatter sunlight and prolong twilight. Consequently, places at higher latitudes often enjoy extended dusk compared to those near the equator.
