Roger designed an experiment to see how sunlight heats a surface. He used for identical setups. In each setup, a lamp represented the Sun, and a piece of place paper represented Earth. Each setup used the same kind of heat lamp, black paper, and thermometer. He varied the distances and angles in the setups. He recprded the data on the table shown.

Which setup would most likely result in the lowest paper temperature?

• #1

• #2

• #3

• #4
