Do you get more or less direct sunlight at the equator?
you get more direct sunlight at the equator
What was the difference between the thermometer readings in the drawer and in direct sunlight?
The temperature of the thermometer in the direct sunlight was higher than the thermometer in the drawer.
What happens to temperatures as the angle at which the sun's rays strike Earth's surface become more direct and as the angle becomes less direct?
More direct sunlight produces higher temperatures, and less direct sunlight produces lower temperatures.
Why do temperatures get higher the closer you get to the equator?
The temperatures at the equator tend to be higher because the equator receives more direct sunlight.
What is an example of flow?
Tide = Flow of kinetic energy from higher ground to lower ground Wind = Flow of kinetic energy from higher pressure to lower pressure Electricity = Flow of electrical energy (transfer of kinetic energy) from higher voltage to ground or low voltage.
How does pressure affect the temperature at which water boils?
There is a direct relationship between the temperature at which water boils and the air pressure on it. Higher pressure, higher boiling point. Lower pressure, lower boiling point.
How come weather changes?
The sun warm the earth unevenly. That creates areas of higher and lower air pressure. Since nature likes pressures to be equal, air from the areas of higher pressure moves toward the areas of lower pressure, causing wind. Also, it doesn't rain all the time because there is usually not enough water vapor in the clouds to condense into raindrops. But if a cold front blows in, that speeds up the process because less water vapor is needed for condensation in cold air than in warm air (which is why dew or frost condenses on the ground at the coldest part of the day, around sunrise). Summers are warmer than winters because the sunshine is more direct in summer and less direct in winter. An area receiving direct sunlight is getting more solar energy than the same size area receiving sunlight at an angle.
What is an example of energy flow?
Tide = Flow of kinetic energy from higher ground to lower ground Wind = Flow of kinetic energy from higher pressure to lower pressure Electricity = Flow of electrical energy (transfer of kinetic energy) from higher voltage to ground or low voltage.
Why is the average temperature at the equator higher than the south pole?
The sunlight hits the equator at a direct angle. Sunlight glances off the south pole at an angle, so less of it is absorbed.
How much the pressure inside CO2 extinguisher will be if the cylinder exposed to direct sunlight 50C degree?
The pressure inside a CO2 extinguisher can vary depending on the temperature. Assuming it starts at room temperature, the pressure would increase as the cylinder is exposed to direct sunlight at 50°C. However, without further information, it is difficult to determine the exact pressure increase. It is important to note that CO2 extinguishers have pressure relief valves to prevent over-pressurization.
Why does it become cold as you go to a greater height from sea level?
Sunlight does not heat air very much because air is transparent, so the sunlight reaches the ground and heats the ground. The warmth of the ground can then heat the air, but the air closest to the ground gets heated first. At higher elevation, the air is farther from the ground and receives less heat. Hence it gets cold.
Would air pressure be more in summer or winter?
it would be higher in the winter i know because the photo in photochemical smog means light and is formed by the action of sunlight and the sunlight is higher in the summer than winter luv boo boo science luver
