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 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
About how long is a shadow of an 80 ft tall oak tree if the angle of the sun is 40 degrees?
It depends on the angle of depression of the sun. The answer would be 80ft * tan(90-angle of depression) At a depression angle of 40 degrees, the shadow would be 80 * tan (50) which equals 95.340ft
What device is used to measure the angle of the sun?
A sextant, possibly.
What instrument measures the angle of the sun with the horizon?
A sextant.the sextonan astrolabe
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
What the angle of the sun's rays are like during the fall in Florida?
During the fall the sun will be at the same angles as experienced during the spring.
Do the suns rays fall more directly on Ontario or on Florida?
If I am interpreting the question correctly, they fall more directly on Florida. If you imagine sun rays as arrows pointing directly from the sun to the earth, when they hit Ontario, they are at an angle because earth is a sphere. They hit florida more directly because florida lies closer to the equator, which is more perpendicular to the sun.
Why is Florida warm in winter?
Because FL. is closer to the equator and receives sun at a more direct angle. Because FL. is closer to the equator and receives sun at a more direct angle.
What is a shadow angle?
an angle (that can be on the earth) at which an angle could be formed by the sun.
The angle between the suns position in the sky and the horizon is what?
The angle between the sun's position in the sky and the horizon is called the altitude of the sun. It is the measurement from the horizon to the center of the sun's disk. This angle changes throughout the day as the sun moves across the sky.
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
Is Florida or New Hampshire closer to the equator?
Depending on the time of year, the earth is anywhere from roughly 147 million to 152 million km from the sun. That variance of roughly 5 million km alone dwarfs any tiny difference in the distances from the sun to New York or Florida. But technically, Florida is to an extremely tiny and meaningless degree closer to the sun... during the day. But if you consider absolute distance, disregarding the fact that at night the body of the earth is between the eastern US and the sun, then the distances average out over a year. If Florida is closer to the sun during the day, it is farther from the sun at night. It is not the closeness of the sun that makes the seasons or different earth locations warmer or cooler; it is the angle at which the sun's rays hit.
What is angle of insulation?
It is the angle at which the sun's rays hit the earth
Where does the sun rise in the northern hemisphere in January in Florida?
In January, in the northern hemisphere, including Florida, the sun rises in the southeast and sets in the southwest. Due to Florida's location, the angle at which the sun rises and sets might vary slightly, but generally, it will rise more towards the east.
How did Captain Ahab check the angle of the sun?
Captain Ahab checked the angle of the sun by using a navigational instrument called a quadrant. This tool allowed him to measure the angle of the sun above the horizon and determine the ship's position.
How long is the shadow for the 74ft pole?
It depends on the angle of the sun. If the sun is at 90 degrees, immediately overhead, then the length of the shadow is 0. What is the angle of the sun?
