∙ 14y agoThe direct rays of the sun migrate between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°N) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5°S) throughout the year. This migration causes the changing seasons in different parts of the world.
The sun's rays are strongest at 0 degrees latitude.
The sun's most direct rays strike the earth at a 90 degree angle. The most northern latitude at which this occurs (at summer solstice) is the tropic of cancer. The southernmost latitude to receive the sun's vertical light is known as the tropic of capricorn. Midway between these two latitudes is the equator. Can't see "the following"
The latitude of 90°N, also known as the North Pole, does not receive direct sunlight year-round because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. Instead, it experiences polar day (24-hour daylight) during the summer months and polar night (24-hour darkness) during the winter months. The latitude that receives the most direct rays of the sun year-round is the Equator, at 0° latitude.
The equator receives direct rays from sun. It is present in front of sun.
The climate is cooler at 45 degrees latitude compared to 0 degrees latitude because the Sun is shining at a different angle. At 0 degrees latitude, the Sun is shining directly overhead, and thus it receives highly-concentrated sun rays which heat up the Earth rapidly. However, at 45 degrees latitude, the Sun is shining at a slanted angle, which makes the sun rays spread over a larger area and warming the Earth at a slower rate.
The sun's rays are strongest at 0 degrees latitude.
The equator is the line of latitude that receives the sun's direct rays during the equinoxes. This is because the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun during the equinoxes, causing the sun's rays to strike the equator perpendicularly.
The direct rays of the sun are rays from the sun that hit a certain area.
The latitude where the vertical direct rays of the sun occur is the Tropic of Cancer at approximately 23.5 degrees North. This happens during the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere around June 21st each year.
There's no place where the angle of the sun's rays doesn't change. But the place thataverages the most direct rays for the longest time in the course of a year is the equator.That's zero latitude.That's probably why it's so warm there.
The specifics change depending on the latitude in question, but the noontime shadow will become shorter as the sun's direct rays of incidence approach the latitude in question and longer as the sun's direct rays of incidence recede from that latitude. For example, if you live at 45 degrees North, your shortest shadow will be on the summer solstice, since the sun's direct rays of incidence are at 23.5 degrees North on that day and will be south of that position on all other days. Conversely, if you live at the equator, your shortest shadows will be on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, since the sun is directly overhead on those days.

The tangent ray refers to either the northernmost or southernmost hemisphere where the vertical rays refers to direct sun. During the June 21 solstice, the latitude rays in the southern hemisphere would be 66.5 deg S (Antarctic Circle)

direct rays are from the sun and indirect rays are from something else, like it was reflected or something(ex:the moon. It bounces the sun's rays) AKT♥
