Therefore, only one line of lati- tude on the Earth's rotating surface can receive radiation at right angles, while the rest receive varying oblique (sharp) angles ( Fig. ). As we can see from Figure and c, solar 66 2 . 1. 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.
