Question

when sunlight reaches earth’s surface, the surface absorbs some of the energy and heats up. the more intense the sunlight is, the more energy there is to absorb. the three models below show the same amount of sunlight striking different parts of earth’s surface at different angles. select the model that shows the part of earth’s surface that would heat up the least.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The more oblique the angle of sunlight, the less concentrated the energy is on a given area of the Earth's surface, resulting in less heating. Among the models, the one with the most oblique - angle of sunlight striking the surface will heat up the least.

Answer:

The model with the most oblique (low - angle) sunlight striking the Earth's surface.
