It depends on how much atmosphere it has to go through, the further away FM the equator you are the more the earth curves so the suns rays enter at an angle, meaning that it has to go through more atmosphere. Whereas on the equator the suns rays travel strait so there is less atmosphere to go though, make the suns rays more intense
What else can I help you with?
When is the intensity of the suns rays the greatest?
The intensity of the sun's rays is greatest when the sun is directly overhead, typically around midday when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. This is because the rays have a shorter distance to travel through the Earth's atmosphere, leading to less scattering and absorption.
How many suns fit into the earth?
it is impossibe the sun is way bigger than the earth No Suns would fit into the Earth because The Sun is many thousands of times larger than the Earth.
How does angle of incidence control the intensity of solar radiation received at the earth's surface?
The angle of incidence is what trajectory the suns burst is taking. If the burst is pointed 20 degrees in any direction, slightly away from the earth, then the intensity of the impact on earth would be less severe since only a portion of the burst is actually making contact. While the rest of it flies into space for millions and millions and millions of kilometers.
Which planet has an atmosphere that protects life from the suns radiation?
The EARTH!!!!
What causes the changes that happen in the suns position in the sky over a year?
the earth is always revolving around the sun therefore changes the suns position here on earth
What is the intensity of insolation?
clouds, angle of instance, materials that absorb the suns energy, pollution, and objects
When suns light hits a surface of the earth more directly as the area around the equator what happens?
the earth would probably explode
Before the suns ray can reach earth surface they have topass through the?
Earth's atmosphere, which consists of different layers such as the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. As sunlight passes through these layers, it is filtered and scattered, with some of the light being absorbed by gases and particles in the atmosphere. This process can affect the color and intensity of the sunlight reaching the Earth's surface.
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the suns rays strike the earths surface decreases?
it decreases... that's why the two poles are the coldest places on earth... however, considering the earth is a sphere the angle you are talking about is relative to the point on earth which you are referring to... therefore, there will always be a point on the earth's surface where the suns rays are hitting at exactly 90 degrees...
Are star different sizes?
yes there are different sizes of the sun like super giants and some suns are the same size of earth
Why does the earth have fall?
The Earth has different seasons because it orbits around the sun making it further away during different times of the year. Earth has fall as it moves further away from the suns energy.
When is the intensity of the suns rays the greatest?
The intensity of the sun's rays is greatest when the sun is directly overhead, typically around midday when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. This is because the rays have a shorter distance to travel through the Earth's atmosphere, leading to less scattering and absorption.
What do differences in the moons and suns pull on different sides of earth cause?
Neap, Spring, high and low tides.
Why on earth are the suns rays spread ot all the time?
the sun rays strike the surface at different angles as earth travel around the sun
What changes happen in the suns position in a year?
The suns position changes to a different position on the earth. Thats why we have the different seasons in some states like Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and states that are not always hot or warm year round. ;^)

How many suns does Earth have?
one
