Vertical sun rays, received near the equator, result in higher temperatures as the energy is more concentrated on a smaller surface area. Oblique sun rays, received near the poles, lead to lower temperatures as the energy is spread across a larger surface area, causing less heating. The angle at which the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface influences the amount of energy absorbed and subsequently impacts the temperature.
What else can I help you with?
How does the angle of the sun hitting the earth affect the temperature of the earth?
Sunlight is at its strongest when it is at a perpendicular angle; at oblique angles it is weaker.
What is the difference between high oblique and low oblique?
High oblique photography is taken from a high angle, capturing a more oblique view of the Earth's surface, while low oblique photography is taken from a lower angle, showing less of the horizon. High oblique images typically include more of the Earth's surface, including the horizon, while low oblique images focus more on the objects or terrain in the foreground.
Can an earthquake be caused by temperature?
Not by temperature variations at Earth's surface, no. However, temperature variations in Earth's mantle play a role in plate tectonics, and so can affect earthquake activity.
Why horizontal dropping is faster than oblique?
The very question is not precise. What is meant by faster? Whether we drop horizontally or obliquely the vertical component of the velocity alone changes with time and that too controlled by the acceleration due to gravity. The horizontal component would remain the same through out the flight. If you mean the time of falling on the ground, of course horizontal projection will be sooner than the oblique one. This is because the body has to go up and come down. Hence the time of flight will be double that in case horizontal projection.
How will burning forests affect the average temperature of the Earth?
When forests burn they release carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas which tends to make the Earth warmer.
How does the angle of the sun hitting the earth affect the temperature of the earth?
Sunlight is at its strongest when it is at a perpendicular angle; at oblique angles it is weaker.
How are oblique rays different from vertical rays?
Obviously the angle of incidence is different. The oblique rays spread their energy over a larger area of the surface than vertical (also called perpendicular or normal rays)
How does location on earth affect temperature?
The equater.
What is the difference between high oblique and low oblique?
High oblique photography is taken from a high angle, capturing a more oblique view of the Earth's surface, while low oblique photography is taken from a lower angle, showing less of the horizon. High oblique images typically include more of the Earth's surface, including the horizon, while low oblique images focus more on the objects or terrain in the foreground.
Why are oblique rays so different from vertical rays?
Oblique rays hit the Earth's surface at an angle, spreading the same amount of sunlight over a larger area, resulting in less intensity. Vertical rays, on the other hand, hit the surface perpendicularly, concentrating the sunlight on a smaller area, leading to higher intensity. This difference in intensity affects the amount of heat and light received at the surface.
Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
What is the different between oblique rays and vertical rays?
Either the answer will be that they contain more solar energy, it strike's the earth at an angle greater than 90 degrees, or it could be that they spread energy over a larger surface area.
Can an earthquake be caused by temperature?
Not by temperature variations at Earth's surface, no. However, temperature variations in Earth's mantle play a role in plate tectonics, and so can affect earthquake activity.
All of the solar energy intercepted by the earth arrives as oblique rays?
No, not all of the solar energy intercepted by the Earth arrives as oblique rays. The angle of the sun’s rays varies depending on the latitude, time of year, and time of day. At the equator, for example, the sun’s rays are more direct, while at higher latitudes, the rays are more oblique.
How did gravitational contraction affect earth?
Gravitational contraction raised the temperature of Earth early in it's formation.
Is earth axis tilted curved vertical vertical or horizontal?
Earth's axis is tilted to about 11 degrees from the vertical.
What is an oblique photo?
Photographs taken from the air are categorised as (1) vertical, (2) oblique, and (3) fan.Vertical photographs are those taken by a camera whose optical axis is perpendicular to the surface of the earth (photographs taken with the optical axis up to 6o from the vertical are still classified as being 'vertical').Oblique photographs are those taken with the optical axis of the camera between the vertical and the horizontal. Hiqh obliques include the horizon. Low obliques do not include the horizon.Fan photographs are air photographs taken by cameras that are synchronised that side lateral coverage is obtained from a single flight line, using a split-pair of cameras, trimetrogon (three cameras fitted with wide-angle lenses), or multi-cameras
