The directness of sunlight at a specific latitude significantly affects the amount of solar energy received because it influences the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface. Near the equator, sunlight hits the Earth more directly, resulting in higher solar energy absorption. Conversely, at higher latitudes, the sunlight arrives at a more oblique angle, spreading the energy over a larger area and reducing the intensity. This variation in sunlight angle directly impacts temperature and climate patterns across different latitudes.
