Why the Suns rays are more spread out at 40 degrees than they are at the equator?
The Sun's rays are more spread out at 40 degrees latitude compared to the equator due to the curvature of the Earth. At the equator, sunlight strikes the surface more directly, resulting in a concentrated beam of energy. In contrast, at higher latitudes like 40 degrees, the rays hit the Earth at a slant, distributing the energy over a larger area and reducing its intensity. This variance in angle leads to differences in temperature and climate between the equator and higher latitudes.
What is the suns tempricher surface?
The surface temperature of the Sun is about 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit).
What is the latitude of the sub solar point on March 21?
On March 21, the subsolar point is located at the Tropic of Cancer at approximately 23.5 degrees north latitude. This is because the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the Sun to be directly overhead at either the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees North) on the March equinox or the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5 degrees South) on the September equinox.
Why does latitude dictate how high the sun gets in the sky?
Latitude doesn't dictate how high the sun gets in the sky, but it does help us understand position and time. We can use latitude and the suns position to determine not only what day of the year it is, but where we are.
What is the angle of the suns rays in the South Pole?
At the South Pole, the sun rises about September 21 and sets about March 21. The highest angle of the sun above the horizon is about 23.5 degrees. While the sun is up, its orb never dips even half way below the horizon.
When do the Suns Ray strike latitude 23.5s at an angle of 90 degrees?
June 21
What angle will the suns rays most directly hit the earth?
the equater A+ 90 degrees
How many degrees of latitude does the suns most direct ray this means the sun is directly overhead travel per day?
Between June 21 and December 21, it moves from 23.5 north to 23.5 south ... 47 degrees of latitude. Then during the other 6 months, it covers the 47 degrees to return back north. But the rate at which it covers this range is not constant. The speed is "sinusoidal" ... slowest at the ends, and fastest in the middle.
When do the suns rays strike latitude 23.5 at an angle of 90 degrees?
Actually at 23.5 degrees it is never overhead because the Earth's axial tilt is only 23.44 degrees. However, for the purposes of this answer let us round up to 23.5 degrees. The Tropic of Cancer is located at 23.5° North of the equator. The Tropic of Capricorn lies at 23.5° South of the equator. There is one day each year when the Sun is overhead (90 degrees) at these latitudes. In the North this is at the Summer Solstice in June (around the 21st) each year and in the South it is at the Winter Solstice in December (around the 21st) each year.
What is the suns altitude?
The sun's altitude refers to its angle above the horizon, measured in degrees. This angle varies throughout the day and changes with the seasons due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun. At solar noon, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky for that day, which is when its altitude is at its maximum. The altitude can be calculated using the observer's latitude, the date, and the time of day.
Do the suns rays that are at an angle produce more heat?
no
Is it true that there will be two suns on 21 June 2010?
It is not true, there will be no two suns, only one. But we can see the sun in two places simultaneously on 21 June 2010
What is the temperature of the suns surface in kalvin?
Its about 5670.16 degrees kelvin
How are the suns rays different at the equator compared to the poles?
Only in the angle of incidence.
What is the suns tempricher surface?
The surface temperature of the Sun is about 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit).
What is the latitude of the sub solar point on March 21?
On March 21, the subsolar point is located at the Tropic of Cancer at approximately 23.5 degrees north latitude. This is because the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the Sun to be directly overhead at either the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees North) on the March equinox or the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5 degrees South) on the September equinox.
What are some facts about temperatures?
The suns core is 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit
