The greater the angle between the direction of travel of the light from the sun and the surface of the planet at a given altitude, the more 'spread-out' the sun light has to be over a wide area and the lower the temperature of the surface. This is the basis of seasonal temperature changes on Earth.

∙ 12y agoTemperature is dependant on Flux (Light/Area). As the sun is at different positions in the sky throughout the day, its angle to the local surface also changes which results in the change in temperature. Its hotter when the we receive direct heat from the sun (noon time) when compared to indirect(morning sun) heat.
Extra Reading:
Ground/oceans absorbs the heat from the sun and then radiates back the heat to the atmosphere and that's how we feel heat. for the same reason the we feel warm for a short even after the sun sets. The green house effect also traps the heat within the atmosphere resulting in comfortable nights which otherwise would have been very cold.

∙ 14y agono the angle of sunlight does not matter unless the sunlight is blocked by an other object than it would be 2c lower but the angle does not matter in temperature wise.

Science fair How does no sunlight affect plants?
Plants use sunlight to make food through photosynthesis, with no sunlight, there is no food.
What are 6 examples of aboitic?
Air, Water, Soil, Sunlight, Temperature & Climate
What variables used in experiment the mongo seeds?
sunlight,water,soil and space.. temperature
How does high temperature affect volume?
High temperature makes the volume greater.
Does temperature affect mold growth?
yes it does!!!
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.
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.
How does the angle of the light affect the temperature of a surface?
How does the angle of light affect the temperature of a surface?
How does sunlight affect the temperature of pool water?
Sunlight warms pool water
Why is the average temperature at the equator higher than the south pole?
The sunlight hits the equator at a direct angle. Sunlight glances off the south pole at an angle, so less of it is absorbed.
How does the angle of sunlight hitting the earth the earth affect day and night on seasons?
its gives it a boner
Which factors affect the rate of photosynthesis and how?
amount of sunlight amount of carbon dioxide amount of water intensity of sunlight temperature and how idk
How does the angle of sunlight affect temperature?
Sunlight that lands directly on the equator is spread out the least across the Earth's surface since it is perpendicular, providing the most energy (heat) per unit area. Near the poles, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays spread them out over a much greater area, providing less energy (heat) per unit area.
How do temperature on earth depend on angles?
That depends a lot of the angle at which sunlight hits a region, and an angle makes a different in how much the sun warms an area. lol
How would a lower angle of insolation affect the maximum temperature of a surface?
vv
What are 3 possible variables that could affect the water temperature in a pool?
Ambient temperature and seasonality Exposure (direct sunlight) Wind
Why does temperature of a place depends on latitude?
Latitude affects temperature because the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth varies with latitude. Places closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight, making them warmer, while places closer to the poles receive sunlight at a more oblique angle, leading to cooler temperatures.
