Mathematical geography problem
In geography study, some difficult knowledge points for students are closely related to mathematics knowledge. If we can count them,

Learning ideas and methods to present this knowledge, these difficulties will be solved. The author has made some attempts in this respect.

We have received good results and are willing to communicate with our peers.

The direct point of the sun is on the equator, and the dates are vernal equinox and autumnal equinox respectively.

Due to the movement of the direct point of the sun, the solar radiation energy received by the earth's surface changes with time and place, resulting in

The alternation of four seasons and the formation of five zones. Students understand this part of the content, which can lay a foundation for students to study geography in the future.

A good foundation.

Second,

Calculation of local time

Because the earth rotates from west to east, in the same latitude area, the relative position of the east is more than that of the west.

Watching the sunrise at 8: 00, the time is divided into early and late, resulting in local time. Local time varies with longitude, so it is not used properly.

As a result, the method of dividing regions according to unified standards has been adopted internationally, so there is a problem of calculating local time and time zone, which is determined by

When the time zone is the central meridian of the time zone, the time zone calculation can also be converted into local time calculation. Through the London courthouse

The meridian of Linwich Observatory is defined as

Meridian, followed by east longitude.

,? It's like the number axis in mathematics. If the east is defined as the positive direction, then the corresponding

The number is a positive real number, and the definition to the west is a negative direction, so the corresponding number is a negative real number, so calculating the longitude tea is to find the number.

The distance between two points on an axis. As shown in Figure 2:

If you want to be arbitrary,

The longitude difference between the two places is that the real number corresponding to the east longitude is a positive real number, and the real number corresponding to the west longitude is a negative real number.

Third,

Calculation of sun height

The noon sun height is the abbreviation of the sun altitude angle, which indicates the inclination of the noon sun rays to the local horizon. That is to say,

The angle formed by the noon sunlight and the tangent plane of the ball passing through the sun irradiation point. This angle is related to the latitude and local position of the direct point of the sun.

About latitude. What is the relationship between them? The rays of the sun can be considered to be parallel, as shown in the following figures 3 and 4, that is.
