Solar Incidence

the angle at which the sun's rays hit Earth's surface; also called the angle insolation

• Angle of Incidence

• daily motion

• polaris

• solstices

Rays of sunlight (insololations) that strike the Earth at an angle of 90 degrees; also called vertical rays or perpendicular isolation.

• direct rays

• local time

• equinox

• rotation

The relative strength of the sun's radiation intersecting a specific area of Earth in a specific amount of time

• intensity of insolation

• local time

• duration of insolation

• direct rays

• insolation

• direct rays

• angle of incidence

• arc

Land near the equator has more insolation than Saskatoon because of

• The topography

• The angle of incidence

• The colour of the soil

• All of these are correct
