22. In the diagram above, the earth is shown moving around the sun. The upward pointing arrow represents the North Pole.

For an observer at 40* North latitude, which event will occur when the earth is at position C on the diagram at left?

 

Best Answer: Answer d. The length of the daylight period will be shortest because the upper or northern part of the earth is pointed away from the sun. That means it is winter there.
