"Solstices" ... June 21 and December 21.
the equator
yes
The suns ray
The suns rays and heat hit it directly
the distance away from the equator (further away = less of the suns energy), and also the amount of cloud and type of cloud in that location (more cloud reflects more of the suns energy away from that location).
1. The equator receives more of the Sun's energy. b. air near the equator is warmer.
Zero.
Suns rays are more vertical, hence stronger in their effect.
A+ at the equator-inator DOOF
Only in the angle of incidence.
The Equator is the point around the earth where the distance the suns rays have to travel through the atmosphere to reach the Earth is the shortest. At that point it shines almost directly down all year around.
It's about 66.5 degrees above the northern horizon.
