Describe the relationships between sunlight angle and solar energy.
the lower the angle the higher the energy
the higher the angle the higher the energy
the higher the angle the lower the energy
According to the data, the distance from the Earth to the sun...
has a huge effect on heating because the Earth is farthest from the sun during June
has no effect on heating because the Earth is farthest from the sun during June
has a huge effect on heating because the Earth is closest from the sun during June
has a little effect on heating because the Earth is farthest from the sun during June
This has the greatest effect on the heating of the Earth and its seasons:
proximity to oceans
the tilt of the Earth and the angle of the sun's rays
the presence of polar ice caps
distance from Earth to the sun
