Important lines of Latitude 23 Degrees North and South- In between these the earth always gets direct sunlight. 66 Degrees North and South- above these lines the earth never gets direct sunlight and has seasons of total light or total darkness. UTAH’S LOCATION IS BETWEEN 37 -42 DEGREES NORTH. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE LONGER DAYLIGHT IN THE SUMMER (WHICH IS WARMER) AND SHORTER DAYLIGHT IN THE WINTER (WHICH IS COLDER).
