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

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...

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.
