Why do different areas of Earth receive different amounts of solar radiation?
1) The angle at which the sunlight hits the ground (more acute as you approach the poles. 2) The variable length of "day". 3) Terrine, the planet is not smooth.
What are the reasons for variation in the length of days and night on the earth?
The earth is tilted. As the earth revolves around the sun it rotates on its axis, on it's tilt. This causes different sides of the the planet to get different amounts of sunlight.
Why does earth receive a different amount of radiation?
If you mean radiation as in sunlight, then the axis tilting from season to season would probably explain that.
Global climate and weather patterns are driven by differences in the amount of heat energy in different areas of the Earth Which statement best explains why different areas of the Earth have differen?
Different regions of the Earth receive different amounts of solar energy.
How are different seasons caused?
Seasons are caused by earth's tilt on it's axis. As earth revolves around the sun, it's tilt causes different amounts of sunlight to reach the surface in certain areas. That's what causes the seasons.
At what times of the year do both of earth's hemisphere receive the same amount of energy from the sun?
The sun emits different amounts of energy all the time, however the hemispheres receive equal amounts of SUNLIGHT on the Equinoxes (approx. September 21 and March 21).
What times of the year do both of earth's hemisphere receive the same amount of energy of the sun?
The sun emits different amounts of energy all the time, however the hemispheres receive equal amounts of SUNLIGHT on the Equinoxes (approx. September 21 and March 21).
Do you always have the same number of hours of daylight every day?
no, because diffefernt parts of the world receive different amounts of sunlight because the earth is tilted on it's axis.
Why do different areas of Earth receive different amounts of solar radiation?
1) The angle at which the sunlight hits the ground (more acute as you approach the poles. 2) The variable length of "day". 3) Terrine, the planet is not smooth.
What is the result of the different parts of the earth getting different amounts of direct and indirect sunlight during the year?
It results in seasons, also did you know when it is winter, you are closer to the Earth then in winter,but because of the angle less sunlight hits you.
Is sunlight hitting both poles during an equinox?
Yes, during an equinox, both poles receive approximately equal amounts of sunlight due to the Earth's axial tilt and the position in its orbit.
What are the reasons for variation in the length of days and night on the earth?
The earth is tilted. As the earth revolves around the sun it rotates on its axis, on it's tilt. This causes different sides of the the planet to get different amounts of sunlight.
What location on earth receive the most sunlight?
On a yearly basis the Earth receives the same amount of sunlight on its total surface. The distribution of light to dark periods is different by latitude and time of year
Why does the hemisphere receive different amounts of solar energy at different times?
In The Online world It Says That, "Because The Earth is tilted and it rotates."
What places on earth have the longest and shortest amounts of sunlight?
The country with the most sunlight is New Zealand.
Why do different areas on earths surface receive different amounts of solar radiation?
Because the Earth is tilted side ways.-YAMII ;)
Global climate and weather patterns are driven by differences in the amount of heat energy in different areas of the Earth. Which statement best explains why different areas of the Earth have differen?
Different regions of the Earth receive different amounts of solar energy.
