Does the solar rays strike the equator at 180 angle?
yes
Explain how both kinds of reflection obey the law of reflection?
The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. In regular reflection, parallel rays strike are reflected from smooth surface at the same angle in diffuse reflection, parallel rays strike and are reflected from a bumpy surface at different angles.
Why is the most heat is in the equator?
Because the sun's rays strike the earth at the sharpest angle, concentrating the heat more. The further away from the equator you go, the shallower the angle - making the energy cover a wider area, meaning the energy is less concentrated.
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.
Why do areas closer to the equator have warmer air than areas farther away?
the sun's radiation is concentrated in smaller area near the equator
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.

Does the solar rays strike the equator at 180 angle?
yes
What is the angle at which the sun's rays strike the surface of Earth in the tropics?
LEss than a 45 degree angle
What happen when light rays strike at a slant?
They bounce off at the same angle as they went in at.
How does the angle of which the suns rays strike the earth affect the temp at the earths surface?
blah
Explain how both kinds of reflection obey the law of reflection?
The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. In regular reflection, parallel rays strike are reflected from smooth surface at the same angle in diffuse reflection, parallel rays strike and are reflected from a bumpy surface at different angles.
How are oblique rays different from vertical rays?
Obviously the angle of incidence is different. The oblique rays spread their energy over a larger area of the surface than vertical (also called perpendicular or normal rays)
What is the different between oblique rays and vertical rays?
Either the answer will be that they contain more solar energy, it strike's the earth at an angle greater than 90 degrees, or it could be that they spread energy over a larger surface area.
Does The angle that the Suns rays strike a region of Earth determine the amount of heat transferred.?
true :)
What is the colder at high latitudes because the sun's rays strike earths surface at a angle there?
Oblique
Does the angle that the Suns rays strike a region of Earth determines the amount of heat transferred?
true :)
