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 latitude of the Earth's Equator is by definition 0Â° (zero degrees). The Equator is one of the five notable circles of latitude on Earth, with the others being the two Polar Circles: the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle, and the two Tropical Circles: the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.t the equinoxes, the Earth's axis is not tilted toward the sun, instead it is perpendicular to the sun meaning that the day is about 12 hours long, as is the night, across the whole of the Earth. Near the Equator there is little distinction between summer, winter, autumn, or spring.
