TRUE OR FALSE: Read the following statements. Circle T, if the statement is true
and F, if the statement is false.

T / F 1. There are parts of the Earth that receive vertical rays from the sun.
T / F 2. Oblique or slanting rays spread over a greater surface area and pass
through a thick layer of the atmosphere.
T / F 3. Vertical rays cover a smaller area and travel through a thinner area of the
atmosphere.
T / F 4. The revolution of the earth causes the vertical rays of the sun to sweep from
the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere and back.
T / F 5. Earth that are hit by direct sunlight are therefore warmer than areas that

are hit by indirect sunlight.

T / F 6. In the summer, the Sun is high in the sky and we receive more indirect
sunlight
T / F 7. In winter when the Sun is lower in the sky and we receive more direct
sunlight.
T / F 8. When the Sun’s rays strike the ground at a high angle, each square meter
of the ground receives a lesser amount of solar energy.
T / F 9. When the Sun’s rays come in at an oblique angle, each square meter of
the ground will receive a greater amount of solar energy.
T / F 10. The highest latitudes get the most energy from the sun. The lowest
latitudes get the least.
