1.
Where will the significant lines of latitude (equator, Tropics, Circles) align on Zindau?
Zindau resides in the Andromeda Galaxy at
Zero
degrees
at the line of latitude for the
equator, and it is the division on Zindau between the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
The
Circles
are the lines of latitude with measured distance at approximately
fifty-four
degrees
north and south of the equator.
Thirty-five degrees
is the line of latitude at the
northern and southern hemisphere of the equator for the
Tropics.
2.
How will the equal distribution of land and water affect seasonal temperatures between the
hemispheres relative to the perihelion solstice and aphelion solstice?
The tilt of Zindau at
thirty-five degrees
shows the northern and southern hemisphere
during aphelion time connected with the “summer solstice” and the perihelion time connected
with the “winter solstice.” Summertime temperatures would be warmer and wintertime
temperatures would be much colder. In Zindau, (which has equal water), this would lessen the
annual estimated temperature, while the land areas will help lessen estimated temperatures in
winter and raise estimated temperatures during the summer weather since land will heat up much
quicker than water (Southern New Hampshire University, n.d.).
3.
How does the increased tilt affect critical components of seasonality across the latitudes as
compared to Earth?
A more pronounced tilt will cause the seasonal weather to change, as in the summer, solar
from the sun will be more intense when the hemisphere is toward the sun. When it is away
from the sun, the winter will receive less sunshine, and Zindau would receive less sun than
the Earth at the “Tropic of Cancer” (Southern New Hampshire University, n.d.).
A.
How would the daylight period be affected across the latitudes through the year?
There is more daylight time in the latitudes because of more extended land mass area being
covered with more sunshine that is coming from the sun. Darkness would perhaps experience
a shorter period on the planet.
B.
How would beam spreading and depletion be affected across the latitudes?
The equator area would receive less of sunshine rays and Zindau would receive more
sunshine rays that extend further out. This is because the sunshine rays are directly on the
surface of the planet.
C.
How would the solar angle incidence be affected across the latitudes?
The more tilt a planet has causes a more lengthy period of sunlight on the North and South
Hemisphere in the summer when the
hemisphere is toward the Sun. The
wintertime will not get much sunlight
while the planet is away from the
sun. There would also be a larger
spread of sunlight rays and complete
days of sunlight that will be more
prolonged through the latitudes,
because of a more pronounced tilt.
Once again, wintertime will have more darkness that can extend a full day and be colder.
4.
Calculate the winter and summer solstice solar angles for a point existing at 45 degrees
north latitude. Are there any other aspects of Zindau/sun relationships that would be
affected? If so, what are they and how would they be different from that of Earth?
Because of the tilt, summertime is going to be much hotter and will stay longer through the
year. The wintertime will be darker and much colder which reflects the tilt. The tilt changes
everything about the seasons, whether it is increased or decreased.
(I tried to calculate how much hotter summer would be, but I am not sure how to get the
correct answer, I assume the summer temperature would vary).
5.
Describe seasonality through the year for both hemispheres.
The tilt of Zindau causes seasons and it creates sunshine on different areas of the planet
depending on the season. When you have the North Hemisphere toward the sun, then this
is summertime in the Southern area that will be longer. Also, when the Southern
Hemisphere is toward the sun the Northern Hemisphere will be experiencing wintertime
and more darkness, that will last longer.
