Answer like you are a 6th grader! what patterns do you observe in the suns angle of separation?

Ok, so, I have not read the lesson of course but this is an interesting middle school question. Maybe find a common pattern of angles and mention the most observed degrees of the angles (90 degrees, 60 degrees angels, ect.) I hope I can help in any way!

one time varies from place to place because Earth presents a

spherical surface to insolation. Therefore, only one line of latitude

on the Earth’s rotating surface can receive radiation at right

angles, while the rest receive varying oblique (sharp) angles

( ● Fig. 3.15a). As we can see from Figure 3.15b and c, solar

energy that strikes Earth at a nearly vertical angle renders more

intense energy but covers less area than an equal amount striking

Earth at an oblique angle.

The intensity of insolation received at any given latitude

can be found using Lambert’s Law, named for Johann Lambert,

an 18th-century German scientist. Lambert developed a formula

by which the intensity of insolation can be calculated using the

sun’s zenith angle (that is, the sun angle deviating from 90° directly

overhead). Using Lambert’s Law, one can identify, based

on latitude, where greater or lesser solar radiation is received on

Earth’s surface. ● Figure 3.16 shows the intensity of total solar

energy received at various latitudes, when the most direct radiation

(from 90° angle rays) strikes directly on the equator.

In addition, the atmospheric gases act to diminish, to some extent,

the amount of insolation that reaches Earth’s surface. Because

oblique rays must pass through a greater distance of atmosphere

than vertical rays, more insolation will be lost in the process. In

1854, German scientist and mathematician August Beer established

a relationship to calculate the amount of solar energy lost as

it comes through our atmospheric gases. Beer’s Law, as it’s called, is

strongly affected by the thickness of the atmosphere through which

the energy must pass.

Since no insolation is received at night, the duration of solar

energy is related to the length of daylight received at a particular

point on Earth (Table 3.2). Obviously, the longer the period of

daylight, the greater the amount of solar radiation that will be received

at that location. As we will see in our next section, periods

of daylight vary in length through the seasons of th
