How does solar altitude affect the length of the path of solar radiation through earth’s atmosphere?

Aleks [24]

The angle of the Sun above the horizon, which is the solar altitude, influences the intensity ofsolar radiation received at Earth’s surface. At the place on Earth where the Sun is directlyoverhead, the local solar altitude has its maximum value of 90 degrees and solar rays are mostconcentrated. Whenever the Sun is positioned lower in the sky, solar radiation spreads over alarger area of Earth’s horizontal surface and thus is less intense. Solar radiation reaches theplanet essentially as parallel beams of uniform intensity. The nearly spherical Earth presents acurved surface to incoming solar radiation so that the noon solar altitude always varies withlatitude. The intensity of solar radiation actually striking Earth’s atmosphere is greatest at thelatitude where the noon Sun is in the zenith and decreases with distance north and south of thatlatitude. Decreasing solar altitude lengthens the path of the Sun’s rays through the atmosphere.As the path lengthens, the greater interaction of solar radiation with clouds, gases and aerosols<span>reduces its intensity</span>

Briefly describe how the Sun produces energy.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

<em>The Sun produces energy by the process of nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion occurs when lighter nuclei combine to produce a larger, heavier nucleus. In the process, energy is released. Nuclear fusion requires very high temperatures and pressures. Nuclear fusion occurs in the core of the Sun when hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms.</em>

<em>Sample Response: The Sun produces energy by the process of nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion occurs when lighter nuclei combine to produce a larger, heavier nucleus. In the process, energy is released. Nuclear fusion requires very high temperatures and pressures. Nuclear fusion occurs in the core of the Sun when hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms</em>

The rotational speeds of four generators are listed in RPM (revolutions per minute). Arrange the generators in order based on th

artcher [175]

with the same generator, so the only factor for producing the slectric field is only the speed. The faster the rotational speed of the generator the greater it produce electric field. So the sequence is 3000 rpm < 3200 rpm < 3400 rpm < 3600 rpm
