Why is there less light at far-northern or -southern latitudes?
The low-angle sunlight has to travel through more atmosphere, which results in loss. The same amount of light is spread over a larger area because of the angle at which it hits
What does beam spreading have to do with seasons?
It relates to the seasons/affects them because depending on the angle of the sunlight depends on maybe the weather or even season. Depending on the angle depends on how much sunlight there is.
How does the angle at which sunlight strikes earth surface affect the intensity of the sunlight?
The more acute the angle at which the sunlight strikes, the more atmosphere that sunlight must pass through. Passing through more atmosphere will weaken and dim the light beams. As the angle at which sunlight hits the earth changes, the same amount of sunlight is spread over different areas, so that near the poles each area of surface receives less intense radiation than an equivalent area near the poles.
Why it is likely to be hotter in April than in December?
It is likely hotter in April than in December t is because the rays of sunlight that hit the ground in April is at the angle of 90 degrees while in December the angle of the sunlight is at 52 degrees.
How does earths rotation causes shadows to change length and position?
As the earth rotates the angle if the sunlight changes which affects shadows.
What type of angle is the largest in a triangle?
the obtuse angle is the largest angle in a triangle. It spreads from 91 to 179 on a protractor
Which angle is larger an obtuse angle or acute angle?
An obtuse angle is larger than a acute angle
Does Sunlight falls on everything equally or at an angle?
at an angle
What angle is larger a reflex or obtuse angle?
A reflex angle is larger.
What happens to the energy when sunlight hits earth at an angle smaller than ninety degrees?
THE energy is spread out over a larger area and is less intense
When solar energy hits the south pole at a low angle how is energy dispersed?
The principle of how energy is dispersed has nothing to do with the angle. It's the same, whether the angle is small or large.The reason that at low angles you get less energy is that the same amount of sunlight - the same cross-section, for example, a square meter of sunlight - is distributed over a larger area.
What do direct rays have to do with it being warmer in summer than winter?
If the sunlight is coming directly down upon the surface then it will concentrate the energy. If the sunlight was at an angle the same amount of light is spread over a larger area and it will be colder.
Why is there less light at far-northern or -southern latitudes?
The low-angle sunlight has to travel through more atmosphere, which results in loss. The same amount of light is spread over a larger area because of the angle at which it hits
A 14 degree angle and a 33 degree angle are combined to create a larger angle How many degrees is the larger angle?
47
Which as the larger the exterior angle of an octagon or of a hexagon?
The hexagon has the larger exterior angle.
Does an octagon or hexagon have a larger interior angle?
which to has a larger interior angle, octagon or hexagon?
Why is the angle of rays of sunlight important in determining the amount of energy collected by the earth?
The angle of the rays of sunlight is important in determining the amount of energy collected by the earth. More direct sunlight means more energy received.
