How does the motion of the sun throughout the year affect the amount of energy we receive from the sun How does this affect our season?
When the earth goes around the sun, the earth also turns. We have 4 seasons, so, when the earth goes 1 quarter of the sun, that is 1 season. Depending on what season it is and where you are, the earth turns away from the sun in fall and winter. So, it is colder. In spring and summer, the sun faces the sun. So it is warmer.
What else can I help you with?
Describe how the amount of solar energy reaching the poles varies during the year?
Because of the tilt of the Earth's axis, the poles point either toward or away from the sun, in winter and summer, while the tilt is parallel to the orbit and doesn't affect the incident sunlight only at the spring and autumn equinox. So there is quite a large variation in the amount of solar energy reaching the poles at different seasons of the year. If you were to graph it, the shape would be a sine curve.
If nuclear fusion did not occur in stars how would that affect us on earth?
Since most of the energy we get from the Sun is the result of nuclear fusion, I guess that would mean that we would receive ALMOST NO energy from the Sun. We WOULD receive some energy as a result of the Sun contracting due to gravity, but that wouldn't last long.
Does the sun heat all the planets?
Yes, the sun radiates heat and light that reaches all the planets of our solar system. However, the amount of heat each planet receives depends on its distance from the sun and its atmosphere, which can affect how much of the sun's energy is absorbed or reflected.
Is the amount of solar energy intercepted by earth affected by the presence of clouds in the sky?
Yes, the presence of clouds can affect the amount of solar energy intercepted by Earth. Clouds can reflect, absorb, and scatter solar radiation, reducing the amount of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface. This can impact the overall energy balance of the Earth's climate system.
What climate region receives the most solar radiation?
Equatorial regions near the equator receive the most solar radiation. These areas receive direct sunlight throughout the year due to their proximity to the sun's rays, resulting in high levels of solar energy input.
How do rotation and tilt affect the amount of solar energy that different parts of earth receive?
Rotation and tilt affect the amount of solar energy the earth receives because when the earth is tilted and or rotating, one specific part of the earth is more directed towards the sun then all the others.
When the amount of energy receive from the sun and the amount of energy return to space are about equal it is called what?
radiation balance
Does the amount of electrons affect the flammability of an object?
The amount of activation energy
Does all parts of the earth receive equal amount of energy?
no
Which organism in the food web receives the least amount of energy from the produces?
Tertiary consumers receive the least amount of energy from producers.
What factors affect the amount of energy?
rigidity, strech
What factor most influences amount of solar energy an area on earth receives?
The latitude of an area on Earth most influences the amount of solar energy it receives. Areas closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight and therefore more solar energy, while areas farther from the equator receive less direct sunlight and less solar energy. Other factors such as cloud cover, air pollution, and elevation can also affect the amount of solar energy received.
What factors influence the amount of energy that different places on earth receives from the sun?
The main factor that influences the amount of energy that different places on Earth receive from the sun is the places location. The closer it is to the equator the more sun energy it will receive.
Does precipitation affect the amount of solar energy the planet receives?
no
What is a climate zones that receive the most solar radiation?
Tropical climate zones near the equator receive the most solar radiation because they are closer to overhead sunlight. These regions generally experience warm temperatures throughout the year due to the high amount of solar energy they receive.
Which organism would receive the least amount of transferred solar energy?
owls
Does the amount of water affect its temp?
No, the amount of water does not affect its temperature. The temperature of water is determined by the amount of heat energy it contains, regardless of the quantity of water present.
