The angle of the Sun's rays striking Earth's surface greatly affects the
A) Earth's seasons.
B) equatorial and polar regions.
C) intensity of solar energy received at Earth's surface.
D) distribution of solar energyfrom the poles to the equator, hours of daylight, and the seasons.
Question 2
The extremely hot temperature of the thermosphere has very little significance because
A) the dense air molecules in this region move too quickly to absorb much solar radiation.
B) there is very little ozone in the air to absorb the solar radiation.
C) there are not enough air molecules and atoms colliding with one another to generate heat energy.
D) the thermosphere is very far from Earth's surface.
