Read the sentences below, and indicate which accurately describe the effects of Earth's rotation and the angle of the Sun. Select all that apply. View Available Hint(s) Select all that apply. The tilt of Earth and the latitude of a city affect the degree and amount of direct sunlight that the location receives at the winter solstice. From the spring equinox until the fall equinox, the Sun shines continually at the North Pole (for 6 months). However, temperatures during this time never get very warm due to the high angle of the Sun striking Earth at the poles. The circumference of Earth at the equator is 24,900 miles. Based on this, a person at the equator is rotating 1040 miles per hour. (Round to the nearest tens digit.) You see the Sun directly overhead in Anchorage, Alaska, at 60° N on the summer solstice. This indicates that Earth is tilted at a 50° angle.
