How the angle of the sun hitting the surface of the earth affects the different seasonal temperatures?
Take a torch (flash light) and a carpet tile.
Place the carpet tile on the floor and standing directly above it, Hold the torch 6 feet (2 Meters) away form the carpet tile and switch it on.
The light from the torch will form a circle in the centre of the tile.
Now move 6 feet to the left and keeping the torch 2 foot off the ground shine the light on the tile. The light form the torch will now form an oval which will be bigger than the carpet tile. The energy form the torch is spread out.
The Earth is a ball in space and the Sun is the torch. Where the sunlight hits the Earth's surface from directly above, the energy form the Sun is most concentrated but as you move north or south (and indeed east or west) from this overhead position the angle of the light from the Sun gets more and more oblique, the energy from the Sun is spread out more.
The Earth spins tilted on its axis as it orbits the Sun. Thus the point at which the Sun is directly overhead moves North and South of the equator during the Year and this means that for 6 months the North gets more concentrated sunlight than the south and vice versa for the other 6 months.
This is what causes the seasons and the warming and cooling that accompanies them.

Why does the moon look different to us on the earth?
The moon is constantly orbiting the Earth and the moon gets it's light from the sun, observers (us) on Earth see sunlight hitting the moon at different angles - thus creating the lunar phases.
What is affected by space junk?
The presence of space junk affects the operation of TV satellites, weather satellites, the International Space Station, and any spacecraft that's launched from Earth, because a nut or a bolt hitting one of these at a zillion miles per hour can knock them totally out of commission.
How are you able to see the moon phases at night?
you can see the moon because the sun is not hitting the earth war the moon is hitting.
What causes the different parts of the moon to appear lighted?
The different parts of the moon appear lighted because of sunlight reflecting off its surface. As the moon orbits Earth, the angle of sunlight hitting its surface changes, causing different parts to be lit or in shadow. This results in the different phases of the moon as seen from Earth.
Why do shadows change positions during the day?
Shadows change positions during the day due to the movement of the sun across the sky. The angle of the sunlight hitting an object affects the length and direction of the shadow it casts. As the sun rises and sets, the position of objects and therefore their shadows will change accordingly.
How does the angle of the sun hitting the surface of the effect the different seasonal temperatures?
the sun hitting the erath changes tempretures by the erth changeing different places around the sun.
How does the angle of sunlight hitting the earth the earth affect day and night on seasons?
The angle of sunlight hitting the Earth affects the duration of daylight and intensity of sunlight received, influencing the changing seasons. In regions with more direct sunlight, there are longer days and higher temperatures, leading to summer. In contrast, areas with sunlight at a lower angle have shorter days and cooler temperatures, resulting in winter.
As you move closer to the equator you are changing....... what?
As you move closer to the equator, you are changing your latitude, which affects the climate and temperature conditions. The closer you are to the equator, the warmer the temperatures generally are due to the more direct angle of sunlight hitting the Earth's surface.
Why the temperatures vary from mornings to afternoons?
tilt of the earth, rotating earth amount of sunlight hitting the earth
What do you have to do to get different pitches on a tambourine?
To produce different pitches on a tambourine, you can adjust the tension of the drumhead by tightening or loosening the tuning screws, which affects the pitch when struck. Additionally, playing techniques, such as hitting the tambourine with varying force or using different parts of your hand, can create subtle pitch variations. Shaking the tambourine or playing it at different angles can also influence the sound produced.

Are the compressions found on the same location in the slinky before and after hitting the wall?
No, the compressions found on the slinky will be different before and after hitting the wall. Before hitting the wall, the compressions will be moving towards the wall. After hitting the wall, the compressions will be reflected back towards the source of the disturbance.
Where did hurricane sandy occure?
