Question

select all 4 true statements based in the diagram below: earth axis arctic circle tropic of cancer equator tropic of capricorn antarctic circle sun rays the most direct insolation (sunlight) is on the tropic of cancer it is summer in the northern hemisphere it is winter in the southern hemisphere it is summer in the southern hemisphere it is winter in the northern hemisphere the south pole will experience darkness for all 24 hours of the day the most direct insolation (sunlight) is on the equator

Explanation:

The Sun - rays are perpendicular to the Equator, so the most direct insolation is on the Equator. When the Sun's rays are centered on the Equator, it is spring or autumn equinox globally, neither summer nor winter in either hemisphere. When the Sun's rays are centered on the Equator, the South - Pole and North - Pole have equal day and night lengths. But when the Sun's rays are as depicted (centered on the Equator), the following are true: The most direct insolation is on the Equator. Since it is not summer or winter solstice, we can analyze the hemispheric seasons and polar conditions. When the Sun's rays are centered on the Equator, it is not summer in one hemisphere and winter in the other in the extreme sense. But we know that when the Sun's rays are centered on the Equator, the South - Pole does not have 24 - hour darkness.

Answer:

The most direct insolation (sunlight) is on the Equator; It is neither summer nor winter in an extreme sense in either hemisphere so no single - hemisphere summer/winter statements are true as given; The South Pole will not experience darkness for all 24 hours of the day. So, the true statements based on the fact that the Sun's rays are perpendicular to the Equator are: "The most direct insolation (sunlight) is on the Equator" and there are no other true statements among the given options based on the diagram showing equatorial insolation. So, there are no 4 true statements among the given options.
