Question

question 15 which statement is true regarding the december solstice? b. sunlight hits the tropic of cancer at a 90° angle. c. the equator is experiencing sunlight perpendicularly. d. the southern hemisphere is experiencing summer.

Explanation:

During the December Solstice, the Earth's tilt causes the southern hemisphere to be more directly exposed to the Sun's rays, resulting in summer in the southern hemisphere. Sunlight hits the Tropic of Capricorn at a 90 - degree angle, not the Tropic of Cancer. The equator does not experience sunlight perpendicularly during the December Solstice.

Answer:

D. The southern hemisphere is experiencing summer.
