Why Ahemadabad and Kolkata are able to see noon sun overhead twice a year but not delhi?

During the year, the latitude at which the sun is directly overhead cycles between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn.  Any place within the tropics will see the sun overhead at noon twice each year.  The tropics themselves will see it only once each year.  Outside the tropics, the sun will never be directly overhead.  In the northern hemisphere, the sun will be directly south at noon.

Night and day occur at the same time on opposite sides of a planet.

There is no use apart from being in time with the rest of the world.\n\nIn some parts it is not wise to put the clocks forward/backwards as this will change what time it is at the hottest in a day.\n\nChina is one of the few counties that does do this.

It's daytime, because of physics. \n\nTo make this simple, just think that since water takes longer to heat than the earth, the air over water is cooler than the air over land. There's some physics law that says everything will reach an equilibrium in temperature. So, the air above will ocean will be moving towards the land to try to equalize. \n\nIn contrast, at night, the air over land cools faster than the air over water. Thus, the breeze goes into the sea. \n\nGood luck!

In the spring and summer months when the weather patterns are unstable.  The second answer would be at night.

You can see them. but not right now. if you want to see the same sky as asturiala sees right now wait till fall.

When the sun is setting, the position of it results in a mixture of reds, oranges and yellows.  This is because those particular wavelengths are refracted less and therefore seen.  As a result, the other wavelengths (green, blue, indigo, violet) are not seen.  This is also the case in sunrises but sunsets are more brilliant because there are more particles in the air at this time of day (dust, pollution, dirt).  The increase in "substance" in the air results in refraction of ROY to increase.  \nThe dominance of the other three wavelengths (BIV) or (ROY) are seen more as apposed to green.  Remember, when you see color in the sky (either reds, oranges and yellows during sunset/sunrise or blues during midday) this is a mixture ,  so the "in between" wavelength, green, is overridden. \nHowever, there are occasions when you can see green in a sunset for a short period of time.  This is known as "a green flash."  You can read on about this rare phenomenon at: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/HBASE/atmos/redsun.html

Probably Calcutta, India. The normal summer temperature in this large metropolis often rises above 115 F. I met some lovely people from Calcutta during graduate school. They told me that often it would get so hot in the evenings during their summer season that they would have to sleep on the roof! Also, many of the homes in Calcutta don't have air conditioning. Now THAT would be a hot place! San Antonio, Texas seems cool compared to this!

Then we will not get day and night.where ever sun is there that place will get heated up up up then humen cant live over there.And where ever dark place is there that place will get cool cool cool then it will got to in - degree. that place also humen cant live. in between some place will have warm weather. that place can be live by people. but there is no cycle in our life .every thing will be stopped.

Equinox means equal night......the two days a year ( March and September) when the sun at noon is directly overhead at the Equator. The two solstices are Summer when the sun is directly overhead at 23N and the Winter when its directly overhead at 23S...so your shadow would point south everyday of the year at 23S except on the Winter Solstice when there would be, in theory, no shadow at all since the sun is 90 degrees overhead

Its not that the times are different in different countries, it has to do with time zones. There are 16 (I think) different time zones around the world, so that no matter where you are in the world, the time will be about the same to where the sun is.\nTo learn more try the link

Depends on where in California is your reference. Eastern California will have an earlier sunset time than Western California

hey buddy! hello.\nwe all know that the earth rotates around the sun and also on its own axis. we also know that an imaginary line divides the earth into 2 equal halves. this line is the equator. the upper part is the north side and the lower is the south side. the axis of the earth does not run perpendicularly, but is tilted at an angle of about 16 degrees (if i remember it correctly)\n\nnow, as the earth rotates simultaneously on its axis and around the sun, it so happens that sun rays fall on one side that is either on north or on south side for continuous 6 months. this means that there is day for continuous 6 onths on one side and night on the other. so, it totaly depends that at what time of a year you r comparing both the poles temperature. if you compare the temperature of the 2 sides in the month of june, north pole will be hotter and south pole will be cooler. opposite happens during december and january. \nat a certain time it may also happen that temperatures of both the poles are same! this may happen at the time of transit. that is when sunshine is equal to both the poles!\n\nhope i have answered u.\n\ngood luck.

Greenwich Mean Time does not change in the summer, but the London time does. IE, in summer, in London, the local time is GMT + 1.\n\nBTW, you seem to have your locations confused. India is ahead of London, not behind.

The person whose local time is noon, but the sun is only closer by one earth radius -- 6400 km.  Compared with the distance to the sun -- 150,000,000 km -- this is a very tiny bit closer.\n\nThe sun appears larger to the person viewing it at sunrise and sunset because of atmospheric refraction.  You are looking through much more atmosphere when you view the sun near the horizon, and all that additional air acts as a lens to magnify the sun's image.  If we had no atmosphere, the sun would appear the same size at all times (assuming anyone would still be here to see it).

- The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.\n\n- If there is broken cloud in the morning we may look to the west and see red light reflecting back from the cloud, i.e. 'red sky in the morning'. As the clouds are coming towards us there must be a chance of rain, at least an increased chance compared with the cloudless period we had just enjoyed.\n\n- Likewise for 'red sky at night'. If we see red clouds in the evening they will be in the east and have already passed us by, giving a good chance of clear skies and fine weather ahead.

Actually there are two effects going on here, both of which result in New Hampshire having an earlier sunset.  One effect is exactly what your husband said.  The people on the western edge of a time zone will have later sunrises and sunsets than those on the eastern edge.  The other factor is that NH is farther North than GA, which means it will have shorter days in the winter.
