On the Summer Solstice, June 21, the Sun is at about 23.5 degrees north. If you are at 50 degrees north, then at noon ("Local Apparent Noon", when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky) on June 21, the Sun will be at an altitude of 66.5 degrees above the southern horizon.

When the sun rays reach their highest angle in the northern hemisphere the season there in is?

That would be summer. In summer, the northern axis of the earth is tilted toward the sun. The angle of the sun from the horizon is greater than in the winter. This is one reason summer is warmer and days are longer.


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.


What season has the highest angle of insolation?

The season with the highest angle of insolation is summer. This is due to the Earth's tilt on its axis, which causes the Sun's rays to be more direct during summer months in each hemisphere.

What is are sun rays called in the summer?

At any time of the year they are 'RADIATION'.


Describe the position of the Earth during the summer solstice Where do the sun's rays srtike the Earth at a 90 degree angle?

During the summer solstice, the Earth's North Pole is tilted towards the Sun, causing the Northern Hemisphere to experience longer daylight hours. The Sun's rays strike the Tropic of Cancer at a 90-degree angle during this time.


What is the angle of the sun's rays at Kansas City Mo on Spring equinox and summer solstice?

On the spring equinox, the angle of the sun's rays at noon in Kansas City, MO will be about 55 degrees above the horizon. On the summer solstice, the angle will be around 82 degrees. This difference is due to the tilt of Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun.


Is the sun hotter in the summer?

No. In the summer, the hemisphere you are in is tilted toward the sun. As a result, the sun's rays strike the surface at a steeper angle and the energy is less spread out than in other seasons, so there is more solar energy delivered to an area of a given size.


Why is the sun warmer in the summer?

During summer months, the part of the world having summer is close to a right angle to the rays of the sun, giving the most heat to the area exposed. During winter, the tilt of the earth means the sun's rays strike the earth at an angle, meaning that they spread over a larger area, giving less heat. When it is summer in the northern half of the world, it is winter in the southern half. Temperature difference is not due to distance from the sun, but due to the tilt of the earth. If distance was the determining factor, both north and south would be the same temperature.
