This phenomenon only happens in Hawaii . . . and Cuba & Nigeria & Indonesia & Peru & Sudan & Laos &…

The video discusses a rare solar phenomenon called Lahaina Noon, where the sun is directly overhead, causing no shadows. This occurs twice a year in Hawaii and other regions between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The video explains the relationship between Earth's tilt, solstices, and the occurrence of this phenomenon. It also highlights why this event doesn't happen in other US states but does in parts of Africa and other regions. The video concludes with an invitation to share photos of Lahaina Noon.

What is the unique solar phenomenon observed in Hawaii where the sun is directly overhead, creating no shadows?

• Solar Eclipse

• Lahaina Noon

• Midnight Sun

• Aurora Borealis

Why does the subsolar point occur in 80% of Africa?

• Because Africa has a unique climate

• Because Africa is closer to the sun

• Because Africa is between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn

• Because Africa is mostly desert

What is the significance of the Tropic of Cancer in relation to the Earth's tilt?

• It is the coldest place on Earth

• It marks the southernmost point where the sun can be directly overhead

• It is the hottest place on Earth

• It marks the northernmost point where the sun can be directly overhead

Why doesn't the longest day of the year match the hottest day of the year?

• Because of the delay in heating of the Earth's surface

• Because of the Earth's rotation

• Because of the Earth's distance from the sun

• Because of the moon's gravitational pull

When can you observe Lahaina Noon at the equator?

• Only during the summer solstice

• Only during the winter solstice

• Twice a year, between the solstices

• Only during a solar eclipse
