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
What else can I help you with?
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?
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.
If a surface absorbs insolation its temperature?
If a surface absorbs insolation, its temperature tends to increase as the absorbed energy is converted into heat. The surface absorbs sunlight and converts it into thermal energy, leading to a rise in temperature.
What is angle insolation?
Angle of insolation refers to the angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth's surface. The angle of insolation affects the intensity of solar energy received at a particular location. A higher angle of insolation results in more concentrated sunlight, while a lower angle spreads the sunlight out over a larger area.
Would the angle of insolation vary on a flat earth?
Yes, the angle of insolation would vary on a flat Earth due to the curvature of the planet. Areas closer to the Sun's direct rays would have a higher angle of insolation, resulting in more concentrated and intense sunlight, while areas farther away would have a lower angle of insolation, leading to less direct and less intense sunlight.

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 does changing the angle of insolation affect the rate of temperature change of a surface?
Changing the angle of insolation—how sunlight strikes a surface—affects the intensity and distribution of solar energy received. When the sun's rays hit a surface at a steeper angle, the energy is concentrated over a smaller area, leading to a more rapid temperature increase. Conversely, when the angle is shallower, the energy is spread over a larger area, resulting in a slower rate of temperature change. Thus, the angle of insolation plays a crucial role in determining how quickly surfaces heat up or cool down.
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

Areas closer to the Sun's direct rays would have a higher angle of insolation, resulting in more concentrated and intense sunlight, while areas farther away would have a lower angle of insolation, leading to less direct and less intense sunlight.
Why do you think the amount of insolation increases from the poles towards the equator?
There is no 'why' because that statement is false. The equator is right in the CENTER of the tropics. As the sun wiggles back and forth between the edges of the tropics each year, the equator is the place that receives the MOST average insolation.
What latitude receives the highest angle of insolation on march 21?
On March 21, which is the spring equinox, the latitude that receives the highest angle of insolation is the equator (0 degrees latitude). During this time, the sun is directly overhead at the equator, leading to the most direct sunlight and maximum insolation. Locations at higher latitudes receive sunlight at a lower angle, resulting in less intense insolation.
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.
