The angle of insolation is different at different locations on Earth because the Earth is split into 3 main regions: Polar, Temperate, and Equator. Since Earth is a sphere, the middle is more more direct to the sun, unlike the other regions. So, the sun would "give" the heat to the equator more easily and the heat spreading on the other regoins would spread and it takes some time to heat them up.

This all has to do with something called the flux. This is a measure of how much energy from the sun hits a square meter per second. What causes some parts to get more radiation is a difference in the flux. The poles are at high altitude and so the flux is very low being that the angle of the incoming radiation is really high.

Answer #1:

Because the Earth revolves around the Sun, so the seasons change.

That's because the Earth's axis is tilted relative to the Earth's orbit.

So, as the Earth orbits the Sun it is tilted towards the Sun in summer and then away from the Sun in the winter.

Hence, the angle at which sunlight hits Earth (at any particular place) changes during the year.

The summers (and winters) occur 6 months apart in the northern and southern hemispheres.

===========================

Answer #2:

The angle at which sunlight hits the Earth doesn't change. At every moment

in time, the sun's radiation arrives at the Earth's surface at angles anywhere

between zero and 90 degrees, depending on the specific surface location.

The angle is constantly changing at any fixed location because the Earth is

rotating. And it doesn't repeat at that location at the same time on successive

days because the Earth's axis of rotation is not perpendicular to the direction

toward the sun.

When either the southern or northern hemisphere is tilted towards our star, the Sun, more of the Sun's radiation hits each square meter of the surface, in that hemisphere.

Also, the number of hours of sunlight per day increases.

This results in higher temperatures at the latitudes getting more sunlight.

the orbit on which the earth revolves around the sun is not round but elliptical .so when the earth reaches near to the sun in compared to other times while revolving in the elliptical path ,the sunlight received is more.

besides,when the earth rotates,the equator receives the most of the sunlight but the polar regions receive a little less

Over the course of a year ... yes, pretty much. In the summer, the days are longer, and in the winter the nights are longer; it averages out.

There might be a very small discrepancy due to the fact that a year is not exactly an even number of days, but over the longer term, even this averages out.

Because the earth rotates on a axis witch causes our day and nights. We rotate in a circle and tilt witch causes our seasons also. But if something like a tree is blocking the light it causes shade.

yes they do as the tilting of the earth makes little difference to them

Yes. The sun hits the earth at different angles. Different latitudes get different amounts of direct sunlight at different times.

Because of the tilt in the earth's axis and the rotation of the earth around the sun

It depends on the way the Earth is tilted


Why do certain countries have more light than others?

The tilt of Earth's axis gives more light to the areas experiencing "summer". The sunlight that reaches the Earth also depends on the average cloud cover.

Why do some places have more natural disasters than others?

Some places are built close to fault lines. Fault lines are 'cracks' in the Earth's crust that move against each other - creating earthquakes and volcanos.

On average how do the distances of the nearest stars compare with those of the brightest stars?

Stars range in many different shapes and sizes some have super energy and others have less energy. Usually the more mass the star has the more light it will seem to emit more light, the distance can matter, one thing to remember when looking at the stars is that it can and does take thousands of years for the light from a star to reach the Earth. Some stars are brighter than others because they have more energy than others.


Are some places in the us more crowded than others?

yes


What affects the earths gravitational pull?

Mass and density. The more mass an object has the higher its gravitational pull is. Some places on Earth are more dense than others. therefore they have more mass which can slightly increase the gravitational pull at that area.


Why there are more stars in the provinces compared to rural places?

There are not more stars, it is simply that more can be seen. And that is because rural places suffer from light pollution.
