Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area north of 66½°N is located in the Arctic Circle. When the sun is directly overhead at the equator (choice A) or 23½°N (choice B), the Arctic Circle is still in daylight due to its location far north of those latitudes. Similarly, when the sun is directly overhead at the Antarctic Circle (choice E), the Arctic Circle is still in darkness. However, when the sun is directly overhead at 23½°S (choice C), the area north of 66½°N is tilted away from the sun, resulting in darkness. Therefore, choice C is the best answer.

The Area North of 66½°N Is in Darkness When the Sun
