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:

I can conclude that the more direct light/rays a material receives, the more heat it absorbs. The results support my hypothesis because the results show that the temperature of the soil is highest at the 90º angle of insolation. At this angle, the soil sample received the most direct rays and absorbed the most heat.
