Where is the sunlight more direct?

Direct sunlight, that is the incidence of sunlight on a geographical area, varies with the time of year. Because of the relative tilt of the earth, about 23 degrees, when it is summer in one hemisphere, north or south, it is the opposite season in the other. The sun appears no more than 23 degrees north or south of the equator. These limits are known as the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer. The areas within these limits receive the most direct sunlight, the central area is the equator. Therefore, on average, the equator receives the most direct sunlight
