At the South Pole, the sun rises about September 21 and sets about March 21. The highest angle of the sun above the horizon is about 23.5 degrees. While the sun is up, its orb never dips even half way below the horizon.

Where on earth are the suns rays most intese Least intense?
The sun is directly overhead between the Tropic of Cancer (June) and the Tropic of Capricorn (December) when it's rays are most intense. They are least intense at the South Pole (June) and North Pole (December).
What time of year do the suns rays reach farthest north or south?
solstice
Are the suns rays indirect at the north pole?
it could be depending on the time and season. like the ice still melts even though its the coldest place on earth.
Is the southern limit of the suns direct rays is marked by the tropic of cancer?
The tropic of Cancer is 23° North of the Equator. It represents the point where the Sun can be directly overhead. If you are any further north, the Sun can not be overhead. The corresponding feature in the southern hemisphere is the Tropic of Capricorn. As to the Sun's direct rays, they can be anywhere from the South Pole to the North Pole. Those two points and everything in between receives the Sun's direct rays at some time during the year.
What is the suns pole tied to?
System of orbits
Does the suns angle matter?
north and south pole
What lets the north and south pole cold?
the suns rays
The angle of the suns rays is the cause of the differences in temperature at the?
It is the cause of the differences in temperature at the equator and North and South Poles.
Why do areas farthest from the equator have the coldest climates?
The further south or north from the equator, the shallower the angle of the sun's rays hitting the earth's surface. This means that the rays travel through the atmosphere further and so have time to cool. The sun's rays hit the equator dead on, concentrated, but they hit the North and South pole at an angle, so the heat is spread out over a larger area.
Do the suns rays that are at an angle produce more heat?
no
June 21st suns rays rarely reach this location?
Anywhere between the Southern arctic circle and the south pole (most of Antarctica).
Where on earth are the suns rays most intese Least intense?
The sun is directly overhead between the Tropic of Cancer (June) and the Tropic of Capricorn (December) when it's rays are most intense. They are least intense at the South Pole (June) and North Pole (December).
How are the suns rays different at the equator compared to the poles?
Only in the angle of incidence.
Where on earth do suns rays shine at the most diect angle?
How about u look in a book
How does the angle of which the suns rays strike the earth affect the temp at the earths surface?
blah
What angle will the suns rays most directly hit the earth?
the equater A+ 90 degrees
Does The angle that the Suns rays strike a region of Earth determine the amount of heat transferred.?
true :)
