Geography Que-Ans: [3 Marks Each]

The temperature gradually decreases from the equator to both poles.

At the equator the sun's rays always fall in a vertical direction.

So the temperature there is always high.

The rays from the equator to the poles have to pass through more layers of the atmosphere.

As a result their heat decreases.

The Sun's rays are perpendicular to the Tropic of Cancer in June and the Tropic of Capricorn in December.

So these ions have the highest temperatures in months.

The polar regions i.e. the Arctic and Antarctica have more diagonal sun rays.

So the temperature stays the lowest there.

Thus, a change in temperature is felt according to latitude.

Atmospheric density and altitude also affect sunlight.

Sunburn is more absorbed in dense environments. While less absorbed in thin environments.

At the equator, the atmosphere becomes thinner and thicker towards the poles.

So the amount of sunlight on the Earth's surface decreases as it moves from the equator to the poles.

The diagonal rays of the sun pass through a longer atmospheric area and reach the earth. And lose more heat along the way.

It therefore gives less sunlight to the respective region.

The direct rays of the sun pass through the shorter length of the atmosphere and lose less heat along the way thus giving less sunlight to the respective region.

The direct rays of the sun pass through the layer at a short length to the atmosphere. And lose less heat along the way.

Therefore gives more sunshine to the respective region.

This is why the amount of sunscreen moving from the equator to the poles gradually decreases.

Thus, the density and altitude of the atmosphere also affect sunlight.

In some cases the process is called inversion if the temperature of the atmosphere rises instead of falling.

This is due to the effect of factors such as long winter nights, stable air, clear skies, windless nights, icy regions, etc.

And the layers that rise in the atmosphere during that period are relatively warm.

Hence the situation is called inversion temperature.

Such an inversion of temperature is felt in the northern and south polar glacial regions, high mountain regions as well as valley regions.

The earth receives both heat energy and light from the sun's rays. These rays are called solar radiations.

The sun's heat energy and light come to the earth through its radiation. That is why solar radiation is also called "solar energy".

When the sun's rays reach the earth, it strikes the earth's surface before it passes through the atmosphere.

The sun's radiation first warms the earth.

The atmosphere and water are then heated by processes such as heat transfer, heat transfer and heat transfer.

Because the angular length of radiation from the sun is not the same, not all places on earth receive the same amount of sunlight.
