Does the earth receive more when the sun's rays are spread out or concentrated?

The spread out rays are more. The earth receives them more all over.


Are sun rays concentrated over a smaller area of land in winter?

Yes, sun rays are concentrated over a smaller area of land in winter due to the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth. During winter, the sun is lower in the sky, resulting in sunlight spreading over a larger surface area and reducing its intensity. This leads to cooler temperatures and less effective solar heating compared to summer, when the sun is higher and rays are more direct.


How does the tilt of earth axis affects how the suns rays strike earth?

the tilt of earth affects the sun's rays because if it is tilted the shaded part will not get the sun's rays but the other side will.

Why is it more difficult to get a suntan during the winter months?

It is more difficult to get a suntan during the winter months because the rays of the sun are not hitting the part of the earth where you are trying to get a sun tan less directly and they are weaker. This is because the earth is tilted at a 23.5% tilt. The equator is warmest because most of the rays of the sun hit there most of the time. When it is winter the side of the earth is tilted away from the sun, and the rays of the sun have to travel further to get there.

Where does The rays of the sun strike earth most directly?

The rays of the sun strike the Earth most directly at the equator, where sunlight is nearly perpendicular to the surface. This results in more concentrated heat and higher temperatures in these regions.

The spread out rays are more. The earth receives them more all over.


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.


Where do the most concentrated rays of the sun hit the earth?

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.


Where on earth are the suns rays most intese Least intense?

The sun is directly overhead between the Tropic of Cancer (June) and the Tropic of Capricorn (December) when it's rays are most intense. They are least intense at the South Pole (June) and North Pole (December).


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.


Why do areas closer to the equator have warmer air than areas farther away?

the sun's radiation is concentrated in smaller area near the equator


What can be started when the suns rays are concentrated?

Fire.


What is climatic Belt?

a climatic belt is different zones on earth which have different cencentrations of heat rays from the sun which affect the climate of that particular area meaning that more concentrated rays hot and less colder...


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


Where do the most direct rays strike the Earth on June 21 the Spring Equinox?

June 20-21 is a very important day for our planet and its relationship with the sun. June 20-21 is one of two solstices, days when the rays of the sun directly strike one of the two tropical latitude lines. June 21 marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and simultaneously heralds the beginning of winter in the southern hemisphere. In 2012, the summer solstice occurs and summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere on June 20, at 7:09 p.m
