In some states, the police can give the victim (or person believed to be the victim) an Emergency Protection Order (EPO). An EPO is a short-term protection order typically given to a victim by the police or magistrate when his or her abuser is arrested for domestic violence. The EPO s generally for limited period, such as three or seven days. This permits the victim time with an EPO in place to request a longer-term protection order.
Since the earth's axis is tilted 23 Â½ degrees, then on this particular day, the sun's rays are striking the earth directly at a latitude approximately 23 Â½ degrees north of the equator (that is, the sun's rays are coming in at an angle of 90 degrees here; this is the subsolar point).
What are the low-latitude areas near the equator between the tropic of cancer and the tropic or Capricorn? They are called the 'Tropics', and include all the areas on Earth where the sun can be seen directly above one's head at some point during the year.
