 What I Need to Know

Good day, kids! How are you today? Do you know that sun is considered as a
star and one of the most important astronomical objects? Yes, because it provides light
and warmth. Its motion through our sky causes day and night, and varied climates.
On any given day, the sun moves through our sky in the same way as a star. It
seems to rise somewhere along the eastern horizon and seems to set somewhere in the
west. But how does the height of the sun in the sky affect the amount of energy received
in a certain place?
In this module, you will understand how the places across the globe vary in the
amount of energy received from the sun. Knowing these skills is very essential in your
future use especially in the field of science. What is the relationship of the sun’s position
in the sky with the energy received by a certain place?
Most Essential Learning Competency:
Using models, relate the height of the sun in the sky to the amount of energy
received. (S7ES-IVh-9).
This module focuses specifically on the angle of light.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
● describe how the height of the sun affects to the amount of energy received
by a certain place on Earth; and
● how is the amount of energy received related to seasons?

Lesson
Earth’s Position and The
1 Amount of Energy Received

What’s In

Hello kids! In the previous modules, you have learned that the Earth is tilted at
23.5° on its axis.
As you can remember, the Earth is divided into two hemispheres the Northern
and Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern hemisphere, we can notice that Tropic of
Cancer lies at 23.5° North and Arctic Circle at 66.5° N and in the Southern hemisphere,
lies the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5° South and Antarctic Circle at 66.5° S.

You have also learned that the position of the Earth on its axis shows how much
direct rays from the sun it will receive.

Let’s try if you can locate the location of the Earth at different times of the year.

WHAT TO DO:

1. Study Figure 1 below.

2. Answer the two questions on a separate sheet of paper.

What’s New

Are you now interested with our lesson? I hope that you will find our activities
and discussions in this module more enjoyable and more meaningful. Are you excited?
Let us start!
We know that the Philippines has two seasons: rainy and dry. You might have
noticed that there are months of the year when it is cold and months when it is hot.
These seasons follow each other regularly and you can tell in advance when it is going
to be warm or cold and when it is going to be rainy or not.
Now, let us try to have another activity.

CO_Q4_Science 7_ Module 8
 What is It

In our country, you may have noticed that it is usually hottest during noon. You
may also have observed that it is cooler during early hours of the morning and the hours
just before sunset. During these times, the sun’s rays reach Earth’s surface at an angle,
causing the relatively cooler temperature. But as the weeks and months pass, you’ll
notice that the sun’s motion isn’t quite the same as that of other stars. For one thing,
the sun takes a full 24 hours to make a complete circle around the celestial sphere
based on the apparent daily motion. For obvious reasons, we define our day based on
the motion of the sun. Moreover, the location of the sun’s path across the sky varies
with the seasons. But can you explain why there are seasons? Do you know why the
seasons change?
In June, the Northern Hemisphere will receive more direct rays from the sun
(Figure 2). Therefore, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere at this time. While, in
December, the North Pole will be pointing away from the Sun (Figure 3), and the
Southern Hemisphere will receive more direct rays from the sun. The Northern
Hemisphere will then experience a time of cold temperature. For temperate countries in
the Northern Hemisphere, it will be winter. In tropical countries like Philippines, it is
simply a cold season.
The varying amounts of sunlight the Earth receives during different times of the
year creates the seasons. Seasons are the weather changes due to varied amounts of
sunlight caused by the tilt of the Earth’s axis. Thus, at certain times of the year, one
part of the planet is more directly exposed to the sun’s rays than the other parts.
Temperate countries found between 23.5° North and South latitudes, and
between 66.5° North and South latitudes experience the four seasons- spring, summer,
autumn, and winter. However, the Philippines is a tropical country having two seasons-
rainy and dry that’s why we do not experience winter season at all.

summer, (b) autumnal equinox, (c) winter, and (d) spring or vernal equinox.

CO_Q4_Science 7_ Module 8
 During different seasons, the angle at which the sun’s rays hit the Earth varies.
“Direct rays” means that the rays of the Sun hit the ground at 90°. The rays are vertical
or perpendicular to the ground. When the Sun’s rays strike the ground at a high angle,
each square meter of the ground receives a greater amount of solar energy than when
the rays are inclined. This results to more heat being absorbed by the Earth’s surface.

In the tropics, the warm season is due to the Sun’s rays hitting the ground
directly. To an observer, the position of the Sun at noon will be exactly overhead.

On the other hand, when the Sun’s rays direct rays

come in at an angle, each square meter of the
ground will receive a lesser amount of solar energy.
That’s because at lower angles, solar energy will be ˅ ˅ ˅ ˅
distributed over wider area. The place will then
experience lower temperatures. high angle

After another six months, in June of the

following year, the Earth will have made one full
trip around the Sun. The Sun’s direct rays will fall
on the Northern Hemisphere once more. It will be
warm in the Northern Hemisphere and cold in the Illustrated by: Cherry Mae B. Candelario
Southern Hemisphere all over again. Thus, the Figure 5. In the tropics, the
seasons change because the direct rays of the Sun warm season is due to the Sun’s
shift from one hemisphere to the other as the rays hitting the ground directly.
Earth goes around the Sun. To an observer, the position of the
Sun at noon will be exactly
overhead.

oblique rays

Figure 6. The cold season is the

lower angle result of the Sun’s rays striking
the ground at a lower angle. To
an observer, the Sun at midday
will not be directly above; it will
be lower in the sky.

Illustrated by: Cherry Mae B. Candelario

If the Sun is positioned directly overhead or at 90 degrees from the horizon, the
incoming insolation strikes the surface of the Earth at right angles and is most intense.
If the Sun is at 45 degrees above the horizon, the incoming insolation strikes the Earth’s
surface at an angle. This causes the rays to be spread over a larger surface area reducing
the intensity of radiation.
