In India which city never gets the vertical rays of the sun?

In India, the city of Kanyakumari never gets the vertical rays of the sun due to its geographical location at the southernmost tip of the Indian subcontinent. This unique phenomenon allows visitors to witness both the sunrise and sunset over the sea from the same location.


What is the Latitude of the vertical direct rays of the sun?

The latitude where the vertical direct rays of the sun occur is the Tropic of Cancer at approximately 23.5 degrees North. This happens during the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere around June 21st each year.


What region of the Earth gets nearly vertical rays of solar energy year around?

The equatorial region receives nearly vertical rays of solar energy year-round due to its proximity to the equator. This area experiences consistent high levels of solar insolation, leading to warm temperatures and a relatively stable climate.


Where is the most vertical ray of the sun?

These most vertical rays can occur anywhere between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn. The tropic of cancer's most vertical rays occur at noon on the summer solstice, and vice versa. There is a well in Cyene, a city in southern egypt, where the sunlight casts no shadow at high noon. Eratosthenes the Greek, a librarian at Alexandria, used this fact to calculate the circumference of the earth.


Which type of electromagnetic waves has the highest frequency?

Gamma Rays are the highest frequency waves. Lower than that are X-rays then Ultraviolet. Then visible light, infrared, microwave, and radio waves are the lowest frequency. Here is a link which gives more information http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/toolbox/emspectrum1.html

How are oblique rays different from vertical rays?

Obviously the angle of incidence is different. The oblique rays spread their energy over a larger area of the surface than vertical (also called perpendicular or normal rays)


Which will never get the vertical rays of sun?

Oblique rays are different from vertical rays because they?

They contain more solar energy!


Why do the vertical solar rays produce more heat?

Because vertical solar rays are less oblique during Sumner and are concentrated over smaller areas


An angle formed by opposite rays?

vertical angels


Why do vertical rays warm the air more than slanting rays under same condition?

Vertical rays are more direct and concentrated, so they transfer more energy per unit area to the air. Slanting rays are spread out over a larger area, which reduces the amount of energy transferred to the air. This is why vertical rays warm the air more than slanting rays under the same conditions.


When nearly vertical rays of solar energy strike a region of the earth thhat has warm temperatures. What region of the earth is nearly vertical rays of solar energy year around?

The tropics.


Are vertical angles coplanar?

Yes, the opposite rays of vertical angles are always coplanar, so the angles are as well.


How oblique rays are different from vertical rays?

These two types of rays differ in their Angles of Incidence: vertical rays bounce down and then right back up into themselves while oblique rays bounce off at different angles (vectors) from the incident angle of the incoming rays, also called waves. Compare this to horizontal rays that while sent out side to side, if they do not hit a mountain range, they will wave away indefinitely forever.
