What does the temperature do as the angle of insolation increases?
The temperature goes up because when the angle of insolation increases, it means that the sun's rays are becoming more directly focused on that area. That makes it hotter.For example, the equator is very hot. That's because that's where the sun's rays focus on most directly.The day is warm, and the night is cold.Summer is hot all day long if the angle of the sun is direct.YEARS:Summer = DirectWinter = IndirectFall/Spring = Half
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.

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...
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 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.
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.

Why is there differences in temperature?
bcoz of the angle of the rays of the sun........... ..............wherever it falls that area receives the most heat..... the area that doesn't receive it as much is cooler this not a very good answer....u can look up the question why is there difference in temperature from place to place on the earth surface
Can a angle make two rays?
Two intersecting rays form an angle. Without two rays you do not have an angle.
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the sun rays strike?
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.
What is true of an angle of light rays coming into an object and the angle of light rays reflected off an object?
Reflected rays are equal to the angle of incoming rays.
