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).
At winter solstice (21 December), the sun's rays make an angle of -23Â° 27' to the equatorial plane. The beam radiation is approximately perpendicular to the Tropic of Capricorn (20Â°30'S). In the northern hemisphere, the days are at there shortest and the solar altitude at noon has its lowest values.he horizon is represented by the outermost circle, at the periphery. The altitude of the sun above the horizon is read on the various concentric circles, from 0 to 90 degrees. The angle of azimuth is written on the periphery (0 degrees is south, east and west are 90 degrees on either side).
