What happens when the clouds hang really low?
What happens when the clouds hang very low is that it becomes foggy. Fog is clouds that are very low to the ground and that are are made up of tiny water drops.
What are high and low temperatures on the moon?
the moons temperature is about 260 degrees Fahrenheit.
Very low stratus clouds spread over most of the sky means that there may be?
Very low stratus clouds spread over most of the sky means that there might be a light drizzle. If the temperature is low enough, there might be a light snow.
What is a large swirling front with very low pressure at the center?
(a hurricane)( :
Is solar energy non-biodegradable?
Sunlight is not an organic substance and can't degrade. Neither will the collectors degrade to biological substances. So from that point of view solar energy is not biodegradable. On the other hand, all the components used in the production of energy from sunlight could be recycled which makes the production solar energy have a low cost to the environment.
Why is it cold at the north pole?
It's so cold because it receives very little direct sunlight. Even when the sun shines all day, it is at a very low angle. Most of the radiation gets absorbed by the atmosphere before it is able to reach the earth.
Why is are the poles always cold?
Because they get very low concentrations of sunlight.
Why is antarctica colder then Atlantic?
The Antarctic region is much colder than the Atlantic region for two main reasons: 1. The Antarctic receives a lot less sunlight. The earth's axis is on a tilt, which causes seasons as the earth travels around the sun. During the antarctic winter, much of the region goes without sunlight for many months at a time. 2. The Antarctic region is at a very low angle relative to the sun's light. The equator receives the sun's light at about a 90 degree angle, or straight on. This means the full force of the light hits the surface of the earth. At the poles however, the low angle means the light hits the surface of the earth with much less intensity, so what little sunlight the Arctic gets isn't very strong.
How much sunlight does Amazon rainforest?
There are many reasons places can flood but flooding in Bangladesh is terrible this is because of:-The monsoon rainfalls-The low lying land -so the water can not drain-And also in the summer when the snow melts of the mountains and overflows the rivers!
When solar energy hits the south pole at a low angle how is energy dispersed?
The principle of how energy is dispersed has nothing to do with the angle. It's the same, whether the angle is small or large.The reason that at low angles you get less energy is that the same amount of sunlight - the same cross-section, for example, a square meter of sunlight - is distributed over a larger area.
How much sunlight does Lake Tanganyika receive?
Lake Tanganyika is very near the equator (3.3 to 8.9 degrees south latitude), in tropical Africa, so it receives considerable sunlight despite having about the same day length year-round. However, cloud cover is much greater in the summer "wet" season (November to April). The temperatures in the rift valley are typically from the high 60s to the low 80s (Fahrenheit).
Why do forests get cold in winter?
It isn't the forest that causes the low temperature, it is the winter. In winter, a hemisphere of the Earth is tilted away from the sun and receives less sunlight, hence, it gets cold. This is true for forests or any other kind of region.
Is Pluto black?
Look at some picture of Pluto. It doesn't look black to me, but if you were to go there personally, it might look black due to the low level of sunlight it receives.
What side of the heart receives blood that is low in oxygen?
right
Why are Antarctic temperatures low?
Not a lot of direct sunlight.
What grass grows in low sunlight?
St. Augustine
Why are polar regions cooler than the equator?
Answer:sunlight strikes the poles at an oblique angle. From the polar regions, the sun is low in the sky, so that the sunlight hits the earth at a low angle, as it does for us in the morning and evening. This low angle means that the sunlight is more spread out, and thus warms the surface less. The polar regions of earth are not cooler because they are farther away from the equator, and they are not cooler because they are farther from the sun. The poles are only about 3000 km farther from the sun than is the equator at noon. This is about 0.002% of the earth-sun distance -- hardly significant.
