A model shows rays of sunlight moving straight from the sun perpendicular to the surface of the earth. What are these rays called?
They are called direct rays.
The rays of sunlight that move straight from the sun toward the surface of the Earth, perpendicular to the surface, are called "solar rays" or "solar radiation." They carry energy and heat from the sun and are responsible for providing light and warmth to the Earth. The study of solar radiation and its various properties is a branch of science known as "solar physics."
These rays are called vertical or perpendicular rays.
