Answer to Question 1

Answer: Beam depletion is the depth of atmosphere sunlight must penetrate before reaching the surface. Beam spreading is the increase in the surface area over which sunlight is distributed in response to a decrease in solar angle. The beam spreading contributes more to causing Earth's seasons.
