What happens to temperature as the angle at which the suns rays strike the earths surface decreases?

it decreases... that's why the two poles are the coldest places on earth... however, considering the earth is a sphere the angle you are talking about is relative to the point on earth which you are referring to... therefore, there will always be a point on the earth's surface where the suns rays are hitting at exactly 90 degrees...


What is the process that transfers the suns energy the rest of the way to the suns surface?
