Why does latitude cause climate to vary?
Latitude helps determine the temperature of a locale. Since one of the most important factors of climate is the amount of energy, or radiation, received from the Sun (heat), latitude plays a critical role. Climatologists (people who study climate) use the word insolation for energy that reaches Earth from the Sun. The word combines syllables from the phrase incoming solar radiation. Sunlight is the obvious sign of insolation, but the Sun's radiation reaches the earth on a cloudy day too. The angle and duration of insolation, which translates into surface temperature, changes depending on latitude. Because Earth is spherical, when it orbits the Sun, the Sun's rays hit Earth's surface directly at the equator and at angles near the poles. Direct insolation is stronger than slanted contact. Earth also tilts on its axis, so when the Southern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun, it has more hours of daylight than the Northern Hemisphere, and vice versa. At the equator, the hours of night and day remain 12 hours each. But most of us have experienced the shorter days of winter and the longer days of summer that come from Earth rotating at a tilt. Latitudes that receive direct insolation for many hours a day tend to have warmer climates, such as at the equator. Latitudes toward the North and South Poles get angled insolation for fewer hours overall, and have colder climates.
What would happen to the intensity of the sunlight if the earth was twice as far away?
Then we would receive only 1/4 of the sunlight we receive now.Then we would receive only 1/4 of the sunlight we receive now.Then we would receive only 1/4 of the sunlight we receive now.Then we would receive only 1/4 of the sunlight we receive now.
Do areas of high latitude receive indirect rays from the sun and have cooler temperatures?
yes, high latitude áreas = cold temperatures low latitude áreas = warm temperatures
What factor determine the amount of solar energy an area receive?
latitude
What is a place in the low latitude?
Low latitudes are the latitudes between the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. Portions of the low latitudes receive direct sunlight year round. Hope This Helps.
How can you receive videos on the Samsung intensity?
you can't. the samsung intensity can't record videos let alone play them.

On which date does the maximum duration of insolation occur in the Northern Hemisphere?
Maximum duration of insolation occurs on the summer solstice (June 21). Duration of insolation is the hours of sunlight we receive on that given day in a given area. The summer solstice, or June 21, is when we have the most amount of sunlight on a day in the whole entire year so therefore; maximum duration of insolation is greatest on that day.

Do areas of high latitude receive indirect rays from the sun and have cooler temperatures?
yes, high latitude áreas = cold temperatures low latitude áreas = warm temperatures
What factor determine the amount of solar energy an area receive?
latitude
What latitude ranges receive the most rain?
what four latitudes recieves the most rain
Does the Samsung intensity have video?
No you can't take video messages. If you receive them you can not watch them unless you go to the Verizon website.
Name the latitude that would receive 24 hours of darkness on June 21?
The Antarctic Circle
Do tropical regions receive the most solar radiation?
Yes, in terms of the intensity, they receive the most. Throughout the year the sun shines most directly, on average, on regions near the equator.
What causes the average temps of land water at the same latitude?
The reason places at the same latitude tend to be around the same temperature is because the duration and angle of the sun are the same. Places at the same latitude receive about the same amount amount of radiation.
What president did not receive the greatest amount of electoral votes?
George W. Bush
