The rays of the sun are most concentrated at the point on earth that's on the line
from the sun's center to the earth's center. That would be at 'noon' at some point
in the earth's Tropic Zone ... always within 23.5 degrees north or south of the equator,
and to a person standing at that point, the sun would appear directly over his head.
On March 21 and September 21, the point is exactly on the equator. On June 21, it's
23.5 degrees north, and on December 21, it's 23.5 degrees south. At other times, it's
somewhere else between those latitudes.
Notice that if you're more than 23.5 degrees north or south of the equator, the sun
can never appear directly over your head.
What else can I help you with?
Why is it hot during the summer months?
During the summer months, it is hot because the Earth's tilt causes the sun's rays to hit the Earth at a more direct angle, leading to more concentrated heat. This results in higher temperatures during the summer.
What do direct rays have to do with it being warmer in summer than winter?
If the sunlight is coming directly down upon the surface then it will concentrate the energy. If the sunlight was at an angle the same amount of light is spread over a larger area and it will be colder.
How does the angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth affect the temperature at the Earth's surface?
The angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth affects the concentration of solar energy over a given area, influencing the amount of heating. When the sun's rays strike the Earth at a steeper angle (such as at noon), the energy is concentrated over a smaller area, resulting in more intense heating and higher temperatures. Conversely, when the sun's rays hit at a shallower angle (such as at sunrise or sunset), the energy is spread out over a larger area, leading to less intense heating and cooler temperatures.
Why are the sun ray more concentrated on the equtor?
The sun's rays are more concentrated near the equator because the Earth is more curved at the equator, causing the sunlight to hit more directly. This results in higher temperatures and more intense sunlight in equatorial regions.
Do any gamma rays at all make it to the surface of Earth?
Almost all gamma rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, or deflected by the magnetosphere, but some do manage to get through. Those that reach the surface of the Earth are mostly secondary comic rays, which are produced when gamma rays or primary cosmic rays hit the top of the atmosphere.
Where is the greater amount of the sun's thermal energy concentrated on earth?
The equator. On average, it is angled i such a way that the sun's rays hit it most directly
Does the temperature rise most from the direct rays or slanted rays?
The temperature rises most from direct rays because they are more concentrated than slanted rays. Direct rays hit the Earth's surface more directly, leading to more heat absorption compared to slanted rays that are spread over a larger area.
What kind of ray hit the earth?
Many Rays hit the Earth but the most are UV rays because the Earth is always in the Sun's path so...yea
What season do sun rays hit the earth the most?
ki
At what angle will the sun's rays most directly hit the earth?
90 degrees
What angle will the suns rays most directly hit the earth?
the equater A+ 90 degrees
How do changes in the angle of the sun's rays on the earth cause seasons in the northern hemisphere?
Changes in the angle of the sun's rays on the Earth cause seasons in the northern hemisphere because when the sun's rays hit the Earth at a more direct angle, it provides more concentrated heat and longer days, leading to warmer temperatures and summer. Conversely, when the sun's rays hit the Earth at a less direct angle, it diffuses the heat and results in colder temperatures and winter.
Where on earth do the sun rays hit most slanted?
Wherever it is just sunrise or just sunset.
What does the angle of earth have to do with the seasons?
it affects the angle at which the sun rays hit the earth
Why is it hot during the summer months?
During the summer months, it is hot because the Earth's tilt causes the sun's rays to hit the Earth at a more direct angle, leading to more concentrated heat. This results in higher temperatures during the summer.
What do direct rays have to do with it being warmer in summer than winter?
If the sunlight is coming directly down upon the surface then it will concentrate the energy. If the sunlight was at an angle the same amount of light is spread over a larger area and it will be colder.
Do the tangent rays hit the equator on june21?
Tangent rays will hit any part of the earth on any day at sunrise and at sunset.
