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 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 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 would a lower angle of insolation affect the maximum temperature of a surface?

What is the colder at high latitudes because the sun's rays strike earths surface at a angle there?
Oblique
What causes solar radiation to strike different parts of the earths surface at an angle that varies throughout the year?
the Earth's tilted axis.

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

What happens to temperature as the angle at which the sun's rays strike the earths surface decreases?
Usually, as the angle of incidence of the sun's rays decrease (i.e. when the sun is nearer to the horizon than to the zenith) the temperature decreases.
Do sunbeams strike the surface of the earth at the same angle everywhere?
Sunbeams do NOT strike the Earth's surface at the same angle. Like dusk some places have an angular strike during the winter months. This is the main reason we have seasons.

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.
What happens to the temperature as the angle at which the Sun's Rays strike earth's surface increases as the angle decreases what happens to the length of shadows at the same time?
