I think the reason why it is warmer is because the sun's rays are hitting it directly.
No. While Betelgeuse is larger and brighter than the sun, it actually has a lower surface temperature.
The sun is warmer than red stars. Red stars are cooler in temperature compared to the sun, which is classified as a yellow dwarf star.
The photosphere is the layer that is considered the sun's surface!
The name of the sun's surface layer is called the chromosphere. The other layers of the sun is called photosphere and convection zone.
During summer months, the part of the world having summer is close to a right angle to the rays of the sun, giving the most heat to the area exposed. During winter, the tilt of the earth means the sun's rays strike the earth at an angle, meaning that they spread over a larger area, giving less heat. When it is summer in the northern half of the world, it is winter in the southern half. Temperature difference is not due to distance from the sun, but due to the tilt of the earth. If distance was the determining factor, both north and south would be the same temperature.
The earth surface is warmer in the northern hemisphere when it issummer there because of the angle of the sun. For the same reason,the Earth's surface is warmer in the southern hemisphere when it isSummer there.
Because it's closer to the sun.
Cause the sun is facing there
The surface zone is warmer than the thermocline because it is directly exposed to sunlight, which heats up the top layer of the water. In contrast, the thermocline is a transition layer where temperature decreases rapidly with depth, creating a barrier to heat transfer from the surface to deeper waters.
A flat surface will absorb the most insolation since it has the maximum surface area exposed to the sun's rays. In contrast, a curved surface will have less surface area exposed to the sun, resulting in lesser insolation absorption over the same area.
The sun’s rays hit the surface directly.
No. While Betelgeuse is larger and brighter than the sun, it actually has a lower surface temperature.
more the surface area exposed to sun light more will be the rate of photosynthesis
During the day, the sun's rays heat the Earth's surface, causing temperatures to rise. At night, there is no sunlight and the Earth's surface loses heat through radiation, which leads to cooler temperatures.
The surface zone is the outer most layer in the ocean and is heated by the sun's energy. - A sixth grader answered this
because it blocks the sun from getting to earth's surface
When the light from the sun touches the surface of the water in oceans, the water absorbers the heat in the rays from the sun. Due to ice melting their is more water and it traps more heat inside the water making the oceans warmer and warmer.
