What conclusion can be made based on the temperature of soil when the light hits the soil at 0°, 45°, and 90° angles in Section 2 of the experiment? Did your results support your hypothesis? Why or why not?

Answer:

Based on the experiment, it can be concluded that the more direct the angle of light rays (closer to 90°), the more heat the soil absorbs. My results supported the hypothesis because the soil sample at the 90° angle of insolation reached the highest temperature, indicating it received the most direct rays and absorbed the most energy.
