The greater the angle between the direction of travel of the light from the sun and the surface of the planet at a given altitude, the more 'spread-out' the sun light has to be over a wide area and the lower the temperature of the surface. This is the basis of seasonal temperature changes on Earth.

Science fair How does no sunlight affect plants?
Plants use sunlight to make food through photosynthesis, with no sunlight, there is no food.
What are 6 examples of aboitic?
Air, Water, Soil, Sunlight, Temperature & Climate
How does high temperature affect volume?
High temperature makes the volume greater.
Does temperature affect mold growth?
yes it does!!!
What variables used in experiment the mongo seeds?
sunlight,water,soil and space.. temperature
How does the angle of the sun hitting the earth affect the temperature of the earth?
Sunlight is at its strongest when it is at a perpendicular angle; at oblique angles it is weaker.
Why doesn't the angle of the moon affect the temperature on earth?
The Moon is cold . . . it is bright only because it reflects Sunlight.
How does the angle of the light affect the temperature of a surface?
How does the angle of light affect the temperature of a surface?
Two factors that can affect the temperature of a place?
Two factors that can affect the temperature of a place are its latitude, which determines the angle of sunlight received, and its proximity to bodies of water, which can moderate temperature due to the water's heat capacity.
How would a lower angle of insolation affect the maximum temperature of a surface?
A lower angle of insolation would result in the sunlight being spread over a larger surface area, leading to less concentrated heating. This would result in a decrease in the maximum temperature of the surface compared to a higher angle of insolation where the sunlight is more concentrated on a smaller area.
Can sunlight affect water temperature?
Yes, sunlight can affect water temperature by heating the water through the process of solar radiation. When water is exposed to sunlight, it absorbs the sun's energy, which can lead to an increase in its temperature.
How does the angle of incidence increase the temperature of earth?
The angle of incidence refers to the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface. When sunlight hits the Earth's surface at a higher angle of incidence (more direct sunlight), the energy from the sunlight is more concentrated, leading to increased heating of the surface. This can result in higher temperatures on Earth.
How does the angle of sunlight affect temperature?
Sunlight that lands directly on the equator is spread out the least across the Earth's surface since it is perpendicular, providing the most energy (heat) per unit area. Near the poles, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays spread them out over a much greater area, providing less energy (heat) per unit area.
Why is the average temperature at the equator higher than the south pole?
The sunlight hits the equator at a direct angle. Sunlight glances off the south pole at an angle, so less of it is absorbed.
How do the angle of incidence and temperature change as you move north and south across the globe?
As you move from the equator towards the poles (north or south), the angle of incidence of sunlight decreases. This means that the sunlight hits the surface at a flatter angle. In terms of temperature, moving towards the poles generally results in cooler temperatures due to the oblique angle of sunlight that results in less direct heating of the Earth's surface.
Describe the relationship between the angle of insolation and the rate of heating a surface.?
The angle of insolation into a surface is largest when the surface directly faces the Sun. That coincides with the temperature rising. So the angle of insolation goes up as the temperature goes up.
What is Sun Angle?
Sun angle refers to the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface. It directly influences the intensity of sunlight received at a particular location, affecting factors such as temperature and daylight hours. The angle changes throughout the day and also varies depending on the season and the latitude of the location.
