LENGTH OF DAYTIME AND NIGHT TIME AND IT’S EFFECT ON

SEASONS

A. What’s New

“Direct ways” means that the rays of the sun hit the ground at 90°.The rays
are vertical or perpendicular to the ground.When the sun’s rays strikes the ground
at a high angle,each square meter of the ground receives a greater amount of solar
energy than when the rays are inclined.This results to more heat being absorbed by
the Earth’s surface.(see figure 4)

Figure 4. In the tropics, the warm season is due to the

Sun’s rays hitting the ground directly.
To an observer, the position of the Sun
at noon will be exactly overhead.

On the other hand,when the sun’s rays come in an oblique angle,each

square meter of the ground will receive a lesser amount of solar energy.That’s
because at lower angles,solar energy will be distributed over a wider area.The place
will then experience less heating up.(see figure 5)

Figure 5. The cold season is the result of

the Sun’s rays striking the ground at a lower angle.
To an observer, the Sun at midday will not be directly
above; it will be lower in the sky.

B. What Is It

The shorter the length of daytime,the lesser the amount of energy received,The
longer the length of daytime,the higher the amount of energy received.The shorter
the length of daytime,the shorter will be exposure of the Earth on the sun causing
lesser amount of solar energy.
