Correct option is D
- On June 21, it is important to recognize that this date marks the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. On this day, the Sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°N latitude).
- At Equator: On June 21, the equator experiences nearly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night, as it does throughout the year. Therefore, the equator does not experience more than 12 hours of sunlight on this day.
- Tropic of Cancer: On June 21, the Tropic of Cancer is the latitude where the Sun is directly overhead at noon. This results in the longest day of the year for regions on and north of this latitude, meaning they receive more than 12 hours of sunlight. Thus, the Tropic of Cancer does experience more than 12 hours of sunlight.
- The Tropic of Capricorn (23.5°S latitude) is in the Southern Hemisphere, which experiences the Winter Solstice on June 21. On this day, locations on or near the Tropic of Capricorn receive less than 12 hours of sunlight, as this latitude is tilted away from the Sun. Therefore, the Tropic of Capricorn does not experience more than 12 hours of sunlight.
- The Arctic Circle (66.5°N latitude) experiences continuous daylight on June 21, known as the Midnight Sun. All regions within the Arctic Circle receive 24 hours of daylight, far exceeding 12 hours. Thus, the Arctic Circle does experience more than 12 hours of sunlight.
