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 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.
