In polar areas solar radiation strikes Earth at a?
In polar areas, solar radiation strikes Earth at a small angle. The dissipation of light in the Earth's atmosphere is increased when it falls at a shallow angle.
In polar areas solar radiation strikes earth at?
In polar areas, solar radiation strikes Earth at a small angle. The dissipation of light in the Earth's atmosphere is increased when it falls at a shallow angle.
In polar areas solar radiation strikes Earth at what angle?
Small angles
What is the angle at which the sun's rays strike the surface of Earth in the tropics?
LEss than a 45 degree angle
How does the angle of which the suns rays strike the earth affect the temp at the earths surface?
blah

Why does solar radiation strike parts of Earth's surface at an angle the that varies throughout the year?
Because Earth is a sphere that is tilted on it's axis.
In polar areas solar radiation strikes Earth at what angle?
Small angles
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.
What causes solar radiation to strike different parts of earths surface at angle that varies throughout the year?
the Earth's tilted axis.
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.
Why do areas closer to the equator have warmer air than areas farther away?
the sun's radiation is concentrated in smaller area near the equator
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.
