Down: 1) The line of latitude at 23.5 degree north where the subsolar point is located on the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere.2) The layer of the atmosphere, between the troposphere and mesosphere, that ranges between about 12km and 50km in altitude.3) The flat plane on which the earth travels as it revolves around the sun.7) The latitude 66.5 degree north where all areas above receive 24 hours of daylight during the summer solstice and 24 hours of darkness during the winter solstice.9) The great circle on earth that is the border between night and day.10) The point of the Earths orbit where the distance between the earth and sun is least. This takes place in January.12) An orbit that keeps pace with the Sun's westward progress as Earth rotates. Going north-south between the poles. Passes over the same part of the earth at the same time each day. Good for monitoring landscape change over time. Landsat system is an exaple for NASA.14) The lowermost layer of the atmosphere which lies between the earth surface and an altitude of about 12km.16) The time when the subsolar point is at the equator and all localities on earth experience equal hours of daylight and darkness.17) The latitude 66.5 degree south where all areas above receive 24 hours of darkness during the summer solstice and 24 hours of light during the winter solstice.19) A layer of decreasing temperature in the atmosphere that occurs from about 50km to 80km in altitude.21) The time when the subsolar point is at the Tropic of Cancer (Summer Solstice June 20-21) Northern hemisphere tilted toward sun, or Tropic of Capricorn (Winter Solstice December 21-22) Southern Hemisphere tilted toward the sun. .25) Global Positioning Systems. Satellites that use triangulation to pinpoint a particular location.29) is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere). The charged particles originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind and, on Earth, are directed by the Earth's magnetic field into the atmosphere. Across: 4) An eqq shaped orbit, the earth travels around the sun in this type of orbit on the plane of the ecliptic.5) The result of the earth not being perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic. The earth is at 23.5 degrees for a line perpendicular to the palne of the ecliptic.6) Atmospheric gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and aragon that maintain relatively consistent levels in space and time.8) The method through which information is gathered about the Earth from a distance.11) Isolines that connect points of equal atmospheric pressure.13) Isolines that connect points of equal elevation.15) Theory that the universe originated about 14 billion years ago when all matter and energy erupted from a singular mass of extremely high density and temperature.18) Subsolar point or the place where the sun's rays strike the earth most directly. This occures because the sun angle is 90 degrees at that point and the rayse are perpendicular to the surface.20) The upper layer of the atmosphere which occurs between 80 km and 480 km in altitude.22) Part of the upper atmosphere, comprising portions of the mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere, distinguished because it is ionized by solar radiation.23) A system for storing, analyzing, and manipulating spatially referenced data, usually in digital form in a computer.24) Zenit angle and subtract from ninety degrees. Can be negative, if so then it is night.26) The point of the earths orbit where the distance between the earth and sun is greatest. This takes place in July.27) Isolines that connect points of equal temperature.28) Atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor and ozone that vary in concentrations in space and time.30) The line of latitue=de at 23.5 degree south where the subsolar point is located on the winter solstice is in the northern hemisphere.31) Location plus or minus the solar declination. Absolute value only.32) An orbit where satellites remain over the same place on earth every day. This orbit is achieved because the satellite is placed very high above earth and travels at the same speed as the earths rotation.33) Lying within the stratosphere this layer of gas is vitally important to life on earth as it filters out uv radiation from the sun and re-radiates it as infrared energy.
