The Sun's rays are more spread out at 40 degrees latitude compared to the equator due to the curvature of the Earth. At the equator, sunlight strikes the surface more directly, resulting in a concentrated beam of energy. In contrast, at higher latitudes like 40 degrees, the rays hit the Earth at a slant, distributing the energy over a larger area and reducing its intensity. This variance in angle leads to differences in temperature and climate between the equator and higher latitudes.

Why is twenty degrees north warmer than forty degrees south?
Twenty degrees north is warmer than forty degrees south because at twenty degrees north, the region is closer to the equator, where the sun's rays are more direct and intense. In contrast, at forty degrees south, the region is closer to the south pole where sunlight is more spread out and less intense, leading to cooler temperatures.
32 degrees north latitude18 degrees west longitude 12 degree east 70 degrees south latitude which of the two locations is farther from the equator?
The first one is much closer. The higher the latitude number (N or S), the farther the point is from the equator. The second location 70°S 12°E is more than twice as far from the equator as 32°N 18°W.
Why are places along the equator so hot?
When it's spring/fall in the northern/southern hemisphere, the equator is directly exposed to the Suns energy. This happens twice per year. When it's summer in the northern hemisphere or summer in the southern hemisphere, these are the coolest days of the year for equatorial locations. It is still very warm in these places because the angle of the suns apparent location is still pretty high in the sky for them.
Does equator pass through allahabad?
No, the equator is more to the south of India.
Why is the temperature at 20 degrees north warmer than the Equator?
The temperature at 20 degrees north is warmer than at the Equator due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. At 20 degrees north, the tilt causes this region to receive more direct sunlight and experience a stronger heating effect, resulting in higher temperatures compared to the Equator.
Can the equator receive more of the suns energy?
yes
What is the effect of the sun equator receiving more of the suns energy?
1. The equator receives more of the Sun's energy. b. air near the equator is warmer.
Why is it hottter on the equator?
Suns rays are more vertical, hence stronger in their effect.
Why is twenty degrees north warmer than forty degrees south?
Twenty degrees north is warmer than forty degrees south because at twenty degrees north, the region is closer to the equator, where the sun's rays are more direct and intense. In contrast, at forty degrees south, the region is closer to the south pole where sunlight is more spread out and less intense, leading to cooler temperatures.
What planets whose orbital planes lie more than 3 degrees from the plane of the sun's equator?
Mercury and Pluto.
Why does the equator receives more of the suns energy?
The light at the equator hits the earth perpendicular to the surface to the earth. The further you are from the equator, the light comes in at an angle closer and closer to parallel. The closer to parallel the light comes in at, the more of it is reflected, so it receives less energy than the perpendicular light at the equator.
When suns light hits a surface of the earth more directly as the area around the equator what happens?
the earth would probably explode
Is a person closer to the equator in Argentina or southern Spain?
People in most of Argentina are closer to the equator than people in southern Spain. Spain is between 37 and 43 degrees north of the equator. Only 20% of Argentina is more than 37 degrees south of the equator.
How does the suns ray hit the Bahamas?
The Bahamas are just north of Cuba, still near the Equator. So the Sun's rays hit them more directly than at any where further north or south of the Equator.
What factors determine how much of the sun's energy we receive in a given area?
the distance away from the equator (further away = less of the suns energy), and also the amount of cloud and type of cloud in that location (more cloud reflects more of the suns energy away from that location).
