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.

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.


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 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 ray strike earth's surface increases as the angle decrease What happens to the length of shadows at the same time?

When it decreases the showdows get smaller and fade but when the angle increases the shadow gets bigger.


Do swallows use the earth's magnetism to find there way to the tropics where they migrate or do they use the angle of the sun to find there way?

Swallows use both the Earth's magnetism and the angle of the sun to find their way to the tropics when they migrate. They may also use topographic features and their sense of smell to find their way to the tropics for the winter.


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.
