Does the distance from the equator usually affect the climate of a place?
the farther a place is from the equator, the less directly the sun hits it, because the earth's axis is tilted. this varying amount of sunlight affects the climate.
How old is sunlight when it hits Earth?
it is estimated that it takes approximately 8 mins for light for the sun to reach the earths crust
When the sun hits the earth at 180 degree angle what is the earth's temperature?
I'm afraid that's too general, since the temperature around the world would vary from place to place.
What is it called when earthquakes start below Earth's surface?
All earthquakes occur underground, the exact place where the earthquake starts underground is called the Focus. The location where the earthquake first hits the surface of the earth is called the Epicenter! Hope I helped!
Does the sunlight hits almost straight on near the equator?
More Than "almost." the sun hits right on the equator. In fact, if you have a flagpole on the equator, there will be no shadow at noon. But the equator is not the only place where this happens. This happens Up to the tropics (tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn).
What is the first place in the US that sunlight hits?
Mount Katahdin
What happens to the sunlight that hits the surface of the Earth?
Sunlight that hits the Earth's surface is absorbed by the Earth. It is then reflected back.
Factors that causes sunlight intensity to vary in different places of the world?
The primary factor is the angle at which sunlight hits a place on earth. The most intense sunlight is when the sun is directly overhead. The least intense sunlight is when the sun is on the horizon. Other factors are cloud cover and smog.
When sunlight hits the earth directly is it warmer or cooler?
warmer of course
How are night and day caused by the earth's rotation?
it is caused by if the earth rotates, if the earth goes away from the sun it is night . so that is how night is caused. Day is caused by the earth rotates and, the sunlight hits that place. so that is how the day is caused.

What happens to the suns energy when it hits earth on a pie graph?
The pie graph gets warm when the sunlight hits it.
When the sun light hits the earth what does it do?
About 35% of the light that hits the Earth is reflected away immediately, back into space. The remainder of the light hits the Earth. Some of it is absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere, and much of it reaches the surface as light. Sunlight that is absorbed by the surface heats the Earth.
Where is Place where ulkapind hits the earth?
onindia
Why does geography influence temperature?
A little known fact is that the angle that sunlight hits the different parts of the earth determines how hot or cold that region is. Because the world is round and tilted at a 23.5 degree angle, at different times of the year different parts of the world have more direct sunlight. Observe the picture below:As you can see in the north the angle of the earth results in the sunlight coming in at a very shallow angle and therefore cannot be absorbed very well. However, going toward the center of the earth the light hits the earth at sharper and sharper angles, which causes more heat to be captured and stored.So, in short, the further north or south you go, the shallower the angle that sunlight hits the earth causing those regions to be cooler (on average) and the further toward the equator you go, the sharper the angle that sunlight hits the earth causing those regions to be warmer (on average).
What is the definition for direct rays of sunlight?
a direct ray is where the sun light hits the earth at a 90 degree angle so the angle of sunlight is perpendicular to the earths surface
