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

Why doesn't the angle of the moon affect the temperature on earth?
The Moon is cold . . . it is bright only because it reflects Sunlight.
What is a major cause of temperature changes on earth?
The angle of the sun's rays is one of the major causes of temperature changes on Earth.
Can an earthquake be caused by temperature?
Not by temperature variations at Earth's surface, no. However, temperature variations in Earth's mantle play a role in plate tectonics, and so can affect earthquake activity.
When the sun hits the earth at 180 degree angle what is the earth's temperature?
I'm afraid that's too general, since the temperature around the world would vary from place to place.
Does the temperature rise or fall in the stratosphere?
The temperature does not fall in the stratosphere. The temperature rises considerably once you reach this part of the atmosphere. This is because this is where most of the sun's rays are collected before hitting the surface of the earth.
How does the angle of sunlight hitting the earth the earth affect day and night on seasons?
its gives it a boner
Why doesn't the angle of the moon affect the temperature on earth?
The Moon is cold . . . it is bright only because it reflects Sunlight.
Why does the temperature change from month to month?
because the angle of suns rays hitting the earth change. like the equator gets direct rays most of the year and that's why its the hottest
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the suns rays strike the earths surface decreases?
it decreases... that's why the two poles are the coldest places on earth... however, considering the earth is a sphere the angle you are talking about is relative to the point on earth which you are referring to... therefore, there will always be a point on the earth's surface where the suns rays are hitting at exactly 90 degrees...
How does geographic position effect temperature?
The amount of sunlight hitting the earth.
What is a major cause of temperature changes on earth?
The angle of the sun's rays is one of the major causes of temperature changes on Earth.
How does the angle of radiation affect the temperature?
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 location on earth affect temperature?
The equater.
If Earth was tilted at a different angle how would that affect Mercury?
Not at all.
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.
How does the angle at which the Suns rays strike the earth affect the temperature at earth 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.
How does greenhouseeffect affect the air?
Increasing the temperature of the earth atmosphere.
