Not all areas on Earth's surface receive the same amount of radiation because Earth's surface?

Mainly the degree of radiation from the Sun which strikes the Earth's surface is due to parts of the Earth offering its surface at different angles to the Sun at different stages of the Earth's 365 rotation about the Sun, and the Earth's own rotation with its axis being tilted with respect to the Sun.

∙ 12y agoYeah I asked this question on here that's WHY I know the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=lllll
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoBecause the Sun reaches different heights at different latitudes; and because some areas are more cloudy than others.

How does most of the heat in the earths atmosphere move from place to place?
Convectionheat moves by, radiation(:
How does the process of convection rely on radiation?
It relys on it because convection are the air currents that have to be heated by something, so you need objects to radiate heat to heat up the air to start the current
How does the sun affect the weather on earth?
The sun affects the weather on earth because the suns heat makes water evaporate from earths surface.
Most minerals on earths surface contain which of the following?
silicon & oxygen.
What percent of the earths surface does the Atlantic ocean?
i believe roughly 70% (not completely sure though) I'm not really sure, but something like 70% of the earths surface..
Why do different areas on earths surface receive different amounts of solar radiation?
Because the Earth is tilted side ways.-YAMII ;)
What does the earths surface emit?
Infrared radiation.
The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?
the answer is radiation
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
What type of radiation is reflected away from the earths surface?
Long-wave radiation and visible light.
What is the term for solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface?
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
What is the intense heat beneath earths surface can be a source of?
radiation & gravity
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
Why doesn't the ultraviolet radiation from the sun reach the ground?
It does, but in very small amounts because it is absorbed by Earths atmosphere. The ozonosphere blocks most of the UV radiation from striking the surface of earth.
