- Synopsis
- There are two diagrams of the Earth on this page; one is at the top of the page and the other at the bottom. Each has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Winter: In the top diagram, to the left of the page, there is a textured disc representing the Earth, with a ring of another texture showing the atmosphere surrounding it. On the top right part of the Earth there are two heavy lines showing the area of the Earth's surface heated by the sun's rays, which are represented by two textured bars extending to the right. This shows how, in northerly areas in winter, the sun's rays are spread out more and have to travel further through the atmosphere. These factors, together with shorter winter days and increased reflection of the sun's energy back into space, all have the effect of reducing the amount of energy available for heating the surface of the Earth. A heavy dashed line showing the Equator goes across at an angle halfway up the disc. The Earth's axis is shown at its top and bottom by short heavy lines. To the right of these are four descriptive labels. Summre: In the diagram at the bottom of the page there are descriptive labels to the left. To the right of the page, there is a textured disc representing the Earth, with a ring of another texture showing the atmosphere surrounding it. On the top left part of the Earth there are two heavy lines showing the area of the Earth's surface heated by the sun's rays, which are represented by two textured bars extending to the left. This shows how, in northerly areas in summer, the sun's rays are spread out less and have to travel a shorter distance through the atmosphere. These factors, together with longer summer days and decreased reflection of the sun's energy back into space, all have the effect of increasing the amount of energy available for heating the surface of the Earth. A heavy dashed line showing the Equator goes across at an angle halfway up the disc. The Earth's axis is shown at its top and bottom by short heavy lines.
