Question

Where does the rays of the Sun fall during the months of January and February in Tamil Nadu?

• A. Above the Tropic of Cancer
• B. On the Equator
• C. Between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator
• D. Between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator
• E. Below the Tropic of Capricorn

Answer 1

The correct option is C Between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator

During January February, the Northern Hemisphere faces away from the Sun, and the vertical rays of the Sun fall between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator. Tamil Nadu is near the Equator and receives slant rays of the Sun, leading to cold weather in India.
