since it spread over a vast area so this should be the diverging kind of beam light.

Why does the earth receive different amounts of sunlight?

The Earth receives varying amounts of sunlight due to its spherical shape and tilted axis. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive direct sunlight at different angles, leading to variations in the amount of sunlight received. Factors like seasons and Earth's orbit around the sun also affect the distribution of sunlight on Earth's surface.


What happens to the sunlight that hits the surface of the Earth?

Sunlight that hits the Earth's surface is absorbed by the Earth. It is then reflected back.


What location on earth receive the most sunlight?

On a yearly basis the Earth receives the same amount of sunlight on its total surface. The distribution of light to dark periods is different by latitude and time of year


What type of light beams you received as a sunlight on earth surface?

A wide spectrum of light (e-m wavelengths) from the far infrared through to the ultra violet and beyond.


Did sunlight hit all part of all earth evenly?

Of course sunlight doesn't hit the earth's surface evenly! Countries on the equator or near it receive the most direct sunlight. And of course countries in the artic circle have hardly any! [^-^]


How does the angle at which sunlight strikes earth surface affect the intensity of the sunlight?

The more acute the angle at which the sunlight strikes, the more atmosphere that sunlight must pass through. Passing through more atmosphere will weaken and dim the light beams. As the angle at which sunlight hits the earth changes, the same amount of sunlight is spread over different areas, so that near the poles each area of surface receives less intense radiation than an equivalent area near the poles.


What is the percentage of sunlight reflected by the earth's surface?

On average the earth reflects about 30% of the incident sunlight.


How does the angle of incidence increase the temperature of earth?

The angle of incidence refers to the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface. When sunlight hits the Earth's surface at a higher angle of incidence (more direct sunlight), the energy from the sunlight is more concentrated, leading to increased heating of the surface. This can result in higher temperatures on Earth.


Where does the earth receive direct sunlight?

The Earth receives direct sunlight at the equator, where rays of the sun strike the surface at a perpendicular angle due to the Earth's tilt. This results in more intense and direct sunlight at these regions, leading to warmer temperatures.


Why don't all places on the earth receive the same amount of direct sunlight?

The Earth's round shape and tilted axis cause variations in the amount of sunlight different places receive. The angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface changes as it revolves around the sun, leading to seasonal variations in daylight hours and intensity. This results in different regions receiving varying levels of direct sunlight throughout the year.


How does the angle of the sunlight stikes earth's surface?

The angle at which sunlight strikes Earth's surface varies depending on the time of day and the location on Earth. When the Sun is directly overhead, the sunlight strikes the surface at a 90-degree angle, which maximizes the intensity of the sunlight. As the Sun moves lower in the sky, the angle of sunlight decreases, leading to greater dispersion of sunlight and lower intensity.


Why do latitudes closer to the equator have warmer climates?

Latitudes closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight throughout the year, leading to higher temperatures. This is due to the Earth's curvature and the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface at different latitudes.
