What part of the earth receives oblique rays from the sun?

What part of the earth receives oblique rays from the sun?

The equator of the earth receives most of the sun’s rays.

How sun rays fall obliquely?

the solar radiation arrives at an oblique angle nearer the poles, so that the energy spreads over a larger surface area, lessening its intensity. The radiation travels a longer distance through the atmosphere, which absorbs, scatters and reflects the solar radiation.

What are indirect rays?

Light rays that hit the earth at an angle are known as indirect rays (green area). Areas of the Earth that are hit by direct rays are warmer than areas that are hit by indirect rays. The equator (yellow) is always hit by direct rays of the sun. The poles are always being hit by indirect rays.

Where will the sun rays fall more slanting?

Near the equator, Sun’s rays fall vertically. As the latitude increases, the rays become more and more slanting.

Where is the oblique ray?

Oblique lines, segments, or rays: Lines, segments, or rays that intersect at any angle other than 90° are called oblique.

Why does terrestrial radiation occur mostly at night?

It is majorly due to Solar radiation. During sunlight i.e. daytime, there is net gain in energy due to radiation from Sun while in the night, when sunlight is absent, there is net loss in energy. The Earth’s crust has limit to absorb an energy. Hence, Terrestrial radiation occur mostly at night.

Which statement differentiates direct rays from oblique or indirect rays?

The direct Sunrays focus heat on an area. Because the Earth is round, not all of the Sun’s rays strike the Earth in a vertical, or direct, manner. These lessdirect rays are called oblique rays. Oblique rays are spread out when they strike the Earth, and because of this they lose some of their heat.

Which temperature zone receives slanting rays?

Torrid zone receives almost vertical rays of the sun and temperate zone and frigid zone receive slanting rays of the sun.

Which temperature zone get slanting rays of the sun?

TEMEPRATE ZONE : this refers to the area between tropic of cancer and Arctic circle in the northern hemisphere and between the Tropic of Capricorn and Antarctic circle in the southern hemisphere. This zone receives the slanting rays of the sun.
