Do the tangent rays hit the equator on june21?
Tangent rays will hit any part of the earth on any day at sunrise and at sunset.
Why are tangent rays 66.5 degrees?
-1.428
What is it called when lines line segments or rays meet at a point?
Tangent.
What is the latitude of the tangent rays in the southern hemisphere?
The tangent ray refers to either the northernmost or southernmost hemisphere where the vertical rays refers to direct sun. During the June 21 solstice, the latitude rays in the southern hemisphere would be 66.5 deg S (Antarctic Circle)

What is the latitude of the the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on June 21?
The latitude of the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on June 21st is approximately 23.5 degrees north, which is known as the Tropic of Cancer. This is the northernmost point where the sun's rays are directly overhead during the summer solstice.
Where are the sun's rays tangent during the winter solstice?
During the winter solstice the Sun's rays are tangent to the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. At this time the North Pole is facing away from the Sun, while the South Pole is facing into the Sun.
Where are the tangent rays of the sun during a December solstice?
During a December solstice, the tangent rays of the sun are focused on the Tropic of Capricorn, which is located at approximately 23.5 degrees south latitude. This results in the southern hemisphere receiving more direct sunlight and experiencing its summer season, while the northern hemisphere receives indirect sunlight and experiences winter.
What is the latitude of the the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on the September and March Equinoxes?
At the time of the equinoxes, the sun's rays would be nominally tangent to the Earth at the north and south poles. Those are 90 degrees north and south of the equator respectively. Also I think at either 23.5 degrees north or 23.5 degrees south at sunrise and sunset.
What is a secant. a tangent?
Secants are chords that go through a circle ONCE! Tangents are rays or segments with one point touching the border of a circle and nothing else.
Why rates of insulation are different between the tropical and polar latitudes?
This is a result of the tilt of the Earth's axis. This causes 3 different kinds of rays: tangent, oblique, and direct.
What happens when two tangent segments meet at a point outside a circle?
Nothing "happens". They meet, and the rays continue merrily along their ways, never to meet again!
