Where does sunlight hit earth at close to a 90 degree angel?
Along the equator.
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 happen to horizontal distance and flying time when you increase the launching angle at 30 degree?
It will increase until you hit 45 degrees and the it will begin to drop.
What is the velocity of the ball when it left the bat if it was hit at a 45 degree angle and just cleared the outfield fence 98 meters away?
30.990 metres/sec
How does angle affect the distance of a projectile?
yes it does. you see if you have it set up at a a 90 degree angle it will go further than it would of a 10 degree angle A projectile leaving the ground at an angle of 45 degrees will attain the maximum range. Fire it straight up and it will fall back to its launch location (wind effects etc. ignored). Fire it horizontally and it will hit the ground very much the same time as if it was dropped from its launch platform at the same time. That would not be very far.
Where does sunlight hit earth at close to a 90 degree angel?
Along the equator.
In what season does the northern hemisphere receive direct sunlight?
Sunlight is always direct unless it bounces off something. What varies is the angle at which the sunlight hits the Earth. The nearer to 90 degrees that angle is, the greater its warming effect. The actual angle depends on the latitude, but in northern summer, the sun's rays hit the northern hemisphere at the greatest angles.
What does the angle of earth have to do with the seasons?
it affects the angle at which the sun rays hit the earth
What is angle of insulation?
It is the angle at which the sun's rays hit the earth
How do they no how long it takes for sunlight to hit earth?
8 minutes
Did sunlight hit all part of all earth evenly?
Of course sunlight doesn't hit the earth's surface evenly! Countries on the equator or near it receive the most direct sunlight. And of course countries in the artic circle have hardly any! [^-^]
What time does the sunlight hit the earth?
8minutes and 20seconds after it leaves the sun.
What time does it take for sunlight to hit earth?
Approx. 8/9 mins.
Why are the two periods of maximum solar radiation at the equator?
Because that's where the solar rays hit the earth at a 90 degree angle. And the earths rotation on a tilt causes the Solstice and Equinox.
How long does it take for sunlight to hit earth?
it takes about 8 minutes for the sunlight to get to the earth.
At what angle will the sun's rays most directly hit the earth?
90 degrees
How does the earth shape affect the amount of sunlight an area receives?
The tilt of the earth causes the sun to hit certain areas.
