Students will measure the temperature change in a surface after light strikes it at different angles. They will describe how the angle of light relates to the seasons of the Earth. We concluded that the temperature increased more as the angles of the light approached 90 degrees. White paper produced similar temperature although the temperature was not as extreme as the black paper. During our summer, the Sun's rays strike the Northern Hemisphere at the highest angles, causing high summer temperature. During our winter, the Sun's rays strike the Northern Hemisphere at lower angles, causing winter temperature.
