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.
Approximately 50% of the Earth's surface is illuminated by the Sun at any given time. However, since the Earth is a sphere, only half of its surface can be exposed to sunlight while the other half is in darkness. This means that while 100% of the Earth receives sunlight over a 24-hour period, at any specific moment, about 50% is directly hit by the Sun's rays.
The sun is strongest at the equator because of its direct angle, resulting in more intense solar radiation. The most direct sunlight on Earth occurs in the tropics, where the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface more vertically compared to higher latitudes.
The Sun is a source of charged particles that hit the Earth. These particles, known as solar wind, consist mainly of electrons and protons. When they interact with the Earth's magnetic field, they can create phenomena such as the auroras.
Direct sunlight does not hit all parts of the Earth at the same time. It does not hit areas experiencing nighttime due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. Additionally, during sunset and sunrise, sunlight is less direct and more spread out.
If the sun hit the earth we would be all dead.
The rays from the sun take 8 minutes to hit the earth
I think the sun will hit but not in 1,00's of years.
In about 5.5 billion years, the sun will swell to a size where it will engolf the Earth. But since the sun is gas it can't really 'hit' the Earth.
They will hit Earth if, in their orbit around the Sun, they happen to cross Earth's orbit.
Earth's shadow does NOT hit Venus! It can not.
No. It won't.
The way it hits it is a big deal because the tempature depends on how the sun hit earth - - Scientist Paul Earnstine

it affects the angle at which the sun rays hit the earth
The earth will keep revolving around the sun until the sun dies out or earth is hit by a really big asteroid and knocks it out if its orbit.
