Best Answer

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.

How does the angle of insulation change between midday and evening affect the air temperature?

There is no such thing as the angle of insulation. If you mean the angle of incidence then the more direct the radiation then there will be more energy per unit area..


How does the angle of light affect the temperature of a surface?

The amount of energy reaching a given area from a source of radiant energy is dependent on the angle of incidence of the energy. Radiation that contacts a surface at an angle of 60° from the normal has half as much energy per unit of surface area as radiation that is parallel to the normal, radiation that reaches the surface at 70.53° from the normal has one third the energy per unit of area, radiation at 75.52° from the normal has one fourth as much energy, and so on. Therefore, if light is contacting a surface that absorbs some of it and converts it to heat, the angle of incidence of the light will affect the temperature. Such is the reason why winters are colder than summers.

Why is radioactivity of an element unaffected by the usual factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions such as ordinary changes of temperature and condcentration?

because it is radiation and radiation can not be affected by temperature and/or concentration.

How does the angle of the sun hitting the earth affect the temperature of the earth?

Sunlight is at its strongest when it is at a perpendicular angle; at oblique angles it is weaker.

The Moon is cold . . . it is bright only because it reflects Sunlight.


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.
