The sun's rays shine most directly at locations near the equator. These areas receive more direct sunlight throughout the year, leading to warmer temperatures and more consistent daylight hours.


What the affects the angle at which the suns rays hit earth?

The light from the sun travels in a straight line, and we can assume the light rays to be parellel. The angle of incidence on the earths rounded surface depends on where you are on the earth and what time it is. Mid-day on the equator and the rays would hit the ground straight on. Further to the north or south, or later/earlier in the day and the light rays would hit at more of angle. The rays would also have to penitrate more of the earths atmosphere as the angle increases, which takes more `strength` out of the sun.
