What else can I help you with?
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 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)
What is an oblique rays?
Oblique is defined as 'slanting or inclined in direction, neither parallel nor perpendicular'. Oblique rays, such as those that come from the sun during winter, tend to bounce away more than they are absorbed, due to being shot at a wide angle.
Is Iceland north of the Arctic Circle?
It is south of the Arctic circle.
Oblique rays are different from vertical rays because they?
They contain more solar energy!
Is Arctic Ocean north of the Arctic Circle?
The Arctic Circle passes through the Arctic Ocean.
Is the Arctic Circle called the polar?
A polar circle is either the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle.
Is the Arctic Circle in the Himalayas?
the Himalayas are south of the Arctic Circle
Is Hawaii closer to the axis or the arctic circle?
The Arctic Circle
Is the Arctic Circle melting?
No, the Arctic Circle is an imaginary line.
Is Alaska near the arctic circle or the equator?
The arctic circle
Where would you see a reindeer Arctic Circle or Antarctic Circle?
Reindeer are only found in the far north near the Arctic Circle.
