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).
The sun emits rays that hit the earth's surface at different angles. These rays transmit the highest level of energy when they strike the earth at a right angle (90 Â°). Temperatures in these areas tend to be the hottest places on earth. Other locations, where the sun's rays hit at lesser angles, tend to be cooler.
