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 percentage of the earth is hit by the sun?
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.
What is the sun strongest and where on earth is it most direct?
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.
What is a source of charged particles that hit the earth?
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.
When does no direct sun light hit earth?
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.
Were does the sun hit the earth?

How long does the sun from the moon take to hit earth?
The rays from the sun take 8 minutes to hit the earth
Will the sun hit the earth?

When is the world going to hit the sun?
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.
Why do meteors hit planet earth?

How does Earth's shadow hit Venus when Venus is closest to the Sun?
