During which season do the suns rays hit the tropic of Capricorn?
The sun's rays hit the Tropic of Capricorn during the Southern Hemisphere's summer season, which occurs around December 21st each year.
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 do areas farthest from the equator have the coldest climates?
The further south or north from the equator, the shallower the angle of the sun's rays hitting the earth's surface. This means that the rays travel through the atmosphere further and so have time to cool. The sun's rays hit the equator dead on, concentrated, but they hit the North and South pole at an angle, so the heat is spread out over a larger area.
What is the earths temperature when the suns rays are concentrated?
When the sun's rays are concentrated, the temperature on Earth can vary greatly depending on factors such as location, time of day, and atmospheric conditions. In general, the temperature can reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in areas like deserts where sunlight is intense and there is little cloud cover to block it.
What assumption must be made about the suns rays if you use eratosthenes method for determining the circumference of a large sphere?
One assumption made about the sun's rays when using Eratosthenes' method is that they are parallel. This allows for consistent angles of incidence at different locations on the Earth's surface, enabling accurate measurements of shadow lengths.
Are suns rays mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves
Are the sun waves mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves
Are the suns waves electromagnetic waves?
The sun is a mechanical wave because it doesn't have radio waves in it and it doesn't have spectrum energy, unlike electromagnetic energy.
What are the health risks of electromagnetic waves?
One health risk i know of is leukemia from the suns ultraviolet light, which is an electromagnetic wave. im sure there are tons of other health risks from other electromagnetic waves such as gamma rays and x-rays.
What is the the transfer if the suns energy by electromagenetic waves?
the tranfer of energy from the sun in form of electromagnetic waves is known as radiation.
What is suns UV rays?
The UV rays of the sun are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. These are high energy radiations. They build and destroy ozone both.
How are radio waves xrays microwaves and the suns rays different?
Radio waves ... including microwaves ... and X-rays are different only in wavelength (frequency). The sun radiates all of them.
What type of energy source makes use of the suns rays?
Electromagnetic energy makes use of the sun rays. Plants and other things use the sun rays to grow.
How does the suns energy travle to earth?
Most of it travels to Earth via light, and similar electromagnetic waves.
What is the suns waves called?
The sun emits various types of waves, including electromagnetic radiation such as visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. These waves are collectively referred to as solar radiation.
Does ice reflect suns rays in Antarctica?
It does indeed reflect the suns rays.
Are the suns rays most likely from 10 am to 2 pm?
No, the sun radiates light, and other electromagnetic radiation,continuously - even at night.
