Why is the sun's intensity different at different area of the earth?
It depends on how much atmosphere it has to go through, the further away FM the equator you are the more the earth curves so the suns rays enter at an angle, meaning that it has to go through more atmosphere. Whereas on the equator the suns rays travel strait so there is less atmosphere to go though, make the suns rays more intense
When is the intensity of the suns ray the greatest?
This demands on where you are in the world. The northern or southern hemispheres - Spring and Fall equinoxes Tropics of cancer and Capricorn - Same year round
How do the suns rays strike earth in the polar zones?
Obliquely
How does solar energy reach earth?
through the mantlethrough the suns rays
Are the suns rays concentrated over a smaller surface in winter?
yes they are
What is the intensity of insolation?
clouds, angle of instance, materials that absorb the suns energy, pollution, and objects
Does ice reflect suns rays in Antarctica?
It does indeed reflect the suns rays.

How much of the suns rays get absorbed into our atmosphere?
About 17% of the suns rays get absorbed into our atmosphere
Where are the intensity of cosmic rays the greatest?
On Earth, the intensity of cosmic rays increases with altitude until a maximum where the atmosphere ends; this reflects the atmosphere's shielding effect. Outside Earth cosmic rays intensity is greatest at their source or origin, which seems to be mostly outside the solar system. Although some uncertainty remains, they are believed to be created by supernovae explosions, and possibly by the relativistic jets of quasars or active galactic nuclei.

What protects us from the suns uv rays?
The thing which protects us from suns UV rays is the ozone. It is an allotrope of oxygen element.
