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.
Temperature 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.
The time of day can definitely affect temperature. For example, if the sun is not out the temperature will be lower than if it were out.
no 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.
Wind direction is changing from time to time
When the sun is at it's most direct point with earth it gets to the max temperature for the day.
Plants use sunlight to make food through photosynthesis, with no sunlight, there is no food.
Air, Water, Soil, Sunlight, Temperature & Climate
sunlight,water,soil and space.. temperature
High temperature makes the volume greater.
yes it does!!!
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.
How does the angle of light affect the temperature of a surface?
Sunlight warms pool water
The sunlight hits the equator at a direct angle. Sunlight glances off the south pole at an angle, so less of it is absorbed.
its gives it a boner
amount of sunlight amount of carbon dioxide amount of water intensity of sunlight temperature and how idk
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.
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
vv
Ambient temperature and seasonality Exposure (direct sunlight) Wind
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.
