Why temperature are different from continent to continent?
The sun is the major affecter in temperature on Earth. Since the sun's rays are not directly shinning on every point of Earth, temperatures differ. The sun's rays only directly hit between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
When the sun is rays are shining directly on the northern hemisphere what are they doing in the southern hemisphere?
The Earth is close to a sphere so there is but one single point on the sphere that has the Sun directly overhead at any one time. When this point is in the Northern hemisphere (roughly from the 21 of March to the 20 of September) the Southern hemisphere is less directly hit by the rays of the Sun and experiences somewhat cooler seasons than when the rays of the Sun strike more vertically.
Why does direct sunlight produce more heat than indirect sunlight?
It is because the vertical rays covers the larger surface area where as the slanting rays does not.
What occurs during the autumnal equinox?
The Autumnal Equinox occurs in September when the length of day and night is nearly equal. This is when the sun shines directly on the equator. People often have equinox parties to celebrate this date.
What is the time when both of earth's poles are at a 90 degree angle from the sun and the suns direct rays strike called?
It happens at the spring and autumn equinoxes as the Sun appears to cross the equator. March 21 and Sep 22.
Where do the sun rays strike earth least directly?
The Sun's rays strike least directly at the poles.
Where does The rays of the sun strike earth the least directly?
at the poles
Where does the rays of the sun strike earth least directly?
at the poles
Where the sun's rays strike earth most directly and least directly?
Directly is near the equator. Least directly is at the poles.
Where are the sun rays striking directly at noon on sept 22?
pata naii hehehaahah
Identify where the sun's rays strike earth most directly and least directly?
The sun's rays strike Earth most directly at the equator, where sunlight is more concentrated due to the curvature of the Earth and the angle of incidence. The sun's rays strike Earth least directly at the poles, where sunlight is spread out over a larger surface area and travels through a thicker layer of atmosphere, resulting in lower intensity.
Where do the rays of the sun strike most directly on the earth the equator at the poles in the temperate zone or over the oceans?
The rays of the sun strike most directly on the equator, resulting in more intense heat and sunlight in that region. As you move towards the poles, the angle of the sun's rays becomes more oblique, leading to less direct sunlight and lower temperatures. In the temperate zone, the angle of the sun's rays varies seasonally, leading to differences in sunlight intensity. Over oceans, the angle of the sun's rays can also vary but tends to be more consistent compared to over land areas.
Where are the Suns rays least direct on the earth?
At the poles
Why is the Sonoran Desert a hot desert?
In the summer the sun passes almost directly vertical over the Sonoran Desert and there is little in the way of humidity or cloud cover to prevent the rays of the sun from striking the earth, heating it. The hor earth then heats the air directly above it.
What is the main reason why Earth is warmer at the equator than at the North and South Poles?
Earth is warmer at the equator than at the poles mainly due to the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface. Near the equator, sunlight hits more directly, providing more heat energy per unit area, whereas at the poles, sunlight strikes at an oblique angle, spreading the energy over a larger area and thus resulting in cooler temperatures.
Which light rays striking a concave mirror are reflected so that they pass through they focal point?
Rays which are parallel to the axis of the concave mirror will converge to the focal point.
What part of the earth receives indirect rays?
The north and south poles
