Why does the angle of insolation change between midday and evening and how does this affect the air temperature?

The angle of insolation is the angle the sun's rays hit a given surface on Earth measured from the horizon up to the position of the sun. The steep angle of the sun at midday allows the maximum amount of infrared to reach you, and you perceive this as heat. In the morning and the evening, the light must pass through a much greater distance of atmosphere, more heat is absorbed in the atmosphere, which never reaches you.

How would a lower angle of insolation affect the maximum temperature of a surface?

What 5 factors affect temperature?
1.Altitude 2.Latitude 3.Continentality 4.Prevailing Winds 5.Moving Air
How does earth's surface affect duration of insolation?
When Earth revolves around the sun different areas will get different amounts of insolation. For example, in the Northern Hemisphere our winter days are shorter and summers are longer.
Does latitude affect precipitation and temperature?
Latitude effects climate depending on how close you are to the equator. If you are close to the equator then the climate is warmer, if your farther away then it is colder, in general. The reason for this is that the closer you are to the equator, the more directly the sun's rays go through the Earth's atmosphere. This rule is complicated by many things, including ocean currents and weather patterns, but in general: the closer you are to the equator, the warmer it will be.
Does the air temperature affect soil temperature?

How does temperature vary with latitude of a place. Give examples.?
Temperature depends on latitude because when you are closer to the equator it's hotter, but when're closer to the arctic circles it will be colder. Latitude does in fact affect temperature because between 23.5 degrees north and south or better known as the tropic of cancer and the tropic of Capricorn receives a 90 degree of insolation at least once a year and insolation affects temperature that is why the North Pole is so cold because it has such a high latitude and Florida and Hawaii are so warm because they have lower latitudes.
How does the angle of insulation change between midday and evening affect the air temperature?
There is no such thing as the angle of insulation. If you mean the angle of incidence then the more direct the radiation then there will be more energy per unit area..

How does the climate affect the kind of trees grow in Mexico?
Height and latitude affect levels of insolation, rain and humidity. See related questions.
What a temperature increases affect collisions between molecules?
thermal effect
How does temperature affect the elasticity of fabric?
a higher temperature increases elasticity to fabric as temperature breaks bonds between molecules of the fabric
How does temperature affect the flow rate of propane?
Propane boils at -44F so there is 'no flow' below this temperature, it will not vaporize. The ignition temperature is between 920 to 1200F.
If you increase the temperature of an object does it affect the volume?
Yes, it does affect the volume. The relationship between them can be explained by the equation pV=nRT (pressure x volume = number of moles of gas x molar gas constant x temperature). Therefore, there is a direct proportionality between temperature and volume. If the temperature doubles, so does the volume.
Does volume of water affect temperature rise in reaction between calcium oxide and water?
If lots of water is added then the temperature will rise
How do aerosol particles affect insolation?
They scatter sunlight, reducing the amount that reaches the surface as direct radiation (increasing the amount that reaches as diffuse).
