What does the temperature do as the angle of insolation increases?

The temperature goes up because when the angle of insolation increases, it means that the sun's rays are becoming more directly focused on that area. That makes it hotter.
For example, the equator is very hot. That's because that's where the sun's rays focus on most directly.
The day is warm, and the night is cold.
Summer is hot all day long if the angle of the sun is direct.
YEARS:
Summer = Direct
Winter = Indirect
Fall/Spring = Half

If a surface absorbs insolation its temperature?
increases
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.
How would a lower angle of insolation affect the maximum temperature of a surface?
vv
What season has the highest angle of insolation?
Summer
What is insolation temperature Lag?
It is the time delay between a maximum or minimum insolation and maximum or minimum air temperature

What is the angle of insolation on the equator?
The angle of insolation affects the intensity of insolation directly. In other words, as the angle of insolation increases, so does the intensity of insolation because the Sun is directly overhead at Zenith, giving off direct, or vertical rays. The opposite happens when the angle of insolation decreases, causing a decrease in the intensity of insolation as well.
How can you measure the angle of insolation without being able to see the sun's rays individully?
you can measure the angle of insolation by measuring the angle of the shadows that appear
What season has the highest angle of insolation?
Summer
What is insolation temperature Lag?
It is the time delay between a maximum or minimum insolation and maximum or minimum air temperature
What is the difference between a 30 degree angle and a 90 degree angle of insolation and the surface temperature which was 31 degrees Fahrenheit and 25 degrees Fahrenheit?
the 30 degree angle is near the equator and the 90 degree angle is near the trop of Capricorn and cancer
Where is the 90 degree angle of insolation on the equinoxes?
Directly on the equator.
What is the duration of insolation on march 21?
The duration of insolation on March 21 is 12 hours daylight. The duration of insolation is dependent on temperature, season and latitude.
What is the relationship between the altitude of the Sun and the intensity of insolation at a particular area?
As the altitude of the sun increases, the intensity of insolation for that area will increase as well.
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the sun's ray strike earth's surface increases as the angle decrease What happens to the length of shadows at the same time?
When it decreases the showdows get smaller and fade but when the angle increases the shadow gets bigger.
