What is the definition for angle of insolation?
The angle the sun's rays hit a given surface on Earth.And the angle is measured from the horizon up to the position of the sun
What is the general relation between the amount of radiation received in each 30 degree segment and the angle of the Sun's rays?
what is the genreal relation between the amount of radiation recieved in each 30 degree degment and the angle of the sun's rays
What the affects the angle at which the suns rays hit earth?
The light from the sun travels in a straight line, and we can assume the light rays to be parellel. The angle of incidence on the earths rounded surface depends on where you are on the earth and what time it is. Mid-day on the equator and the rays would hit the ground straight on. Further to the north or south, or later/earlier in the day and the light rays would hit at more of angle. The rays would also have to penitrate more of the earths atmosphere as the angle increases, which takes more `strength` out of the sun.
What is a shadow angle?
an angle (that can be on the earth) at which an angle could be formed by the sun.
What is the angle of the sun in Florida?
1) Where at in Florida? Florida is a long state, and that will account for a large difference in the sun angle. 2) What day and time are you talking about? The sun angle varies from season to season, day to day, and minute to minute.
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the sun's rays strike the earths surface decreases?
Usually, as the angle of incidence of the sun's rays decrease (i.e. when the sun is nearer to the horizon than to the zenith) the temperature decreases.
What is a major cause of temperature changes on earth?
The angle of the sun's rays is one of the major causes of temperature changes on Earth.
What the angle of the sun's rays are like during the spring in Florida?
The angle of the sun's rays duriing in spring is the same as the sun's rays in fall during in Florida
Why is the outdoor temperature higher in the afternoon?
because of where the sun rays are. The sun is overhead therefore we get a direct hit of the sun and its warmth. However in the morning it comes in at an angle.
What happens to the temperature as the angle at which the Sun's Rays strike earth's surface increases as the angle decreases what happens to the length of shadows at the same time?

What is angle of insulation?
It is the angle at which the sun's rays hit the earth
How does the angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth affect the temperature at the Earth's surface?
If the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface at a direct spot, which is usually around the equator, that area would be the warmest. Any area that is far away from the sun's rays is usually cold.
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the sun rays strike?
The seasonal tilting of the Earth away from the Sun, causes the sunlight to strike the Earth at an angle that means the distance travelled is longer and cooling is increased. This means that Winter occurs in the Northern Hemisphere, and Summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and visa versa when the Earth tilts towards the Sun.
What does the temperature do as the angle of insolation increases?
The temperature goes up because when the angle of insolation increases, it means that the sun's rays are becoming more directly focused on that area. That makes it hotter.For example, the equator is very hot. That's because that's where the sun's rays focus on most directly.The day is warm, and the night is cold.Summer is hot all day long if the angle of the sun is direct.YEARS:Summer = DirectWinter = IndirectFall/Spring = Half
What does the angle of earth have to do with the seasons?
it affects the angle at which the sun rays hit the earth
How does the angle at which the Suns rays strike the earth affect the temperature at earth surface?
If the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface at a direct spot, which is usually around the equator, that area would be the warmest. Any area that is far away from the sun's rays is usually cold.
