The suns rays hit the earth more or less straight on centered at the Equator. As you travel further away from the equator the sun has to hit you at a more shallow angle. As the earth curves away from the sun, the rays have to travel through thicker and thicker atmosphere as it does. The particles that float in the atmosphere block the suns heat and light more and more.
The same process occurs in the morning, day and evening anywhere with daylight on the planet. The sun has to pass through thicker, then thinner, then thicker atmosphere.
Because the same amount of radiation is spread over more area.
You can see this very easily. Take a small flashlight and a piece of white
notebook paper into a dim room. From a foot or two away, shine the
flashlight on the paper, first directly, then slant the paper and watch the
spot of light get bigger.
What else can I help you with?
Is it warmer when the sun rays are slanting?
It doesn't matter if they are slanted or straight it is still hot as heck...dont worry wait til winter u will be freezing cold u r still gonna get a cold either way unless you got a doctor who a pro
Does the earth receive slanted rays from the sun during the summer?
Yes. Only in the tropics is the sunlight ever vertical.
What countries don't get direct rays of sunlight?
Every country has direct rays of sunlight. However, it depends on the season. The polar regions have direct rays in the Summer, but non in the Winter, total darkness(Night).
Where are the sun's direct rays on the equinoxes?
On the equinoxes, the sun's direct rays fall on the equator. This causes day and night to be of equal length all over the world.
What latitude receives the most direct rays of the sun year around?
There's no place where the angle of the sun's rays doesn't change. But the place thataverages the most direct rays for the longest time in the course of a year is the equator.That's zero latitude.That's probably why it's so warm there.
Does the temperature rise most from the direct rays or slanted rays?
The temperature rises most from direct rays because they are more concentrated than slanted rays. Direct rays hit the Earth's surface more directly, leading to more heat absorption compared to slanted rays that are spread over a larger area.

Which season has the most slanted rays?
Summer
Why do you feel warm in direct sunlight but in the shade you feel cooler?
In direct sunlight, you feel warm because the sun's rays heat up your skin. In the shade, you feel cooler because you are not directly exposed to the sun's rays, so there is less heat reaching your skin.
Do direct Rays heat a place more than indirect rays?
Yes, direct rays heat a place more than indirect rays. Direct rays are concentrated and deliver more energy per unit area compared to indirect rays, which are more dispersed and have lower energy intensity. This is why direct exposure to sunlight can feel much warmer than being in the shade on a sunny day.
Why might the forests in south America and near the equator be so productive?
Because of direct sunshine (not the slanted rays like in Polar and sub-Polar regions) and abundant rains.
Why might rain forests in South America and near the equator be so productive?
Because of direct sunshine (not the slanted rays like in Polar and sub-Polar regions) and abundant rains.
How is the slant of the rays related to the seasons?
The slant rays relate to the seasons because the direct rays shine right on a spot and that makes summer. But as the earth tilts the rays are not as strong and not as bright so if its not a direct its slanted which gives it different seasons.!!
What is the direct ray of the sun?
The direct rays of the sun are rays from the sun that hit a certain area.
How are direct rays different from indirect rays?
direct rays are from the sun and indirect rays are from something else, like it was reflected or something(ex:the moon. It bounces the sun's rays) AKT♥
What is the definition of direct rays?
A direct rays is when the Sun's light hits the specified part of Earth that you are observing at an exact angle of 900 . This means that the Sun's rays are perpendicular to the Earth; Direct rays compared to indirect rays are one of the factors for the occurrence of seasons on Earth.
What does indirect rays mean?
Indirect rays refer to sunlight that reaches the earth's surface at an angle, rather than directly from overhead. This can occur early in the morning, late in the afternoon, or in locations where the sun is not directly overhead. Indirect rays are weaker than direct rays and can create diffuse or softer lighting conditions.
