The closer you get to the poles, the greater the difference between the longest and shortest days becomes ... and if you get closer than 23 degrees you get days (and nights) that last longer than 24 hours.
In fact, at the poles you get a day that lasts 6 months.

Why is latitude a major influence on the climate of a region?
Latitude has a major influence on the climate of a region because the higher the latitude is, the closer to the poles you are getting and less sunlight gets to the poles compared to the equator which always has direct sunlight due to the location of the sun. Because the equator receives more sunlight, the climate is warmer. Because the poles receive less sunlight, the climate is colder.
What Location on earth relative to equator helps determine the amount of sunlight on area receives?
The two factors affecting sunlight intensity are latitude and time of year
What is the relationship between latitude and the angle of the sun rays?
They both have to do with whether or not people get sunlight or if they don't.
Does sunlight exposure effect plant growth?
yes. It depends on how much of the sunlight the plant has
How does latitude affect the climate of various regions of the earth?
It affects the climate because the climate zone is determined by the line of latitude.
How many more hours of sunlight are there in summer then in winter?
Depends on your latitude and only your latitude. Zero at the equator, 24 at the north pole, and an intermediate number at all other latitudes.
How many hours of sunlight is there in African deserts?
The Sahara receives 3,000 to 4,000 hours of bright sunlight each year. Most of the Sahara only receives around 0.79 inches of rain annually.
Why the latitude of a region influences its climate?
he latitude of a region determines how much sunlight the area receives.

What location on earth relative to the equator helps determine the amount of sunlight an area receives?
because it is 0 degrees
In what season does the northern hemisphere receive direct sunlight?
Sunlight is always direct unless it bounces off something. What varies is the angle at which the sunlight hits the Earth. The nearer to 90 degrees that angle is, the greater its warming effect. The actual angle depends on the latitude, but in northern summer, the sun's rays hit the northern hemisphere at the greatest angles.
Type of photosynthetic reaction depends on sunlight?
Type of photosynthetic reaction depends on sunlight is called light reaction.
What Location on earth relative to equator helps determine the amount of sunlight on area receives?
The two factors affecting sunlight intensity are latitude and time of year
Is sunlight brighter in US than in Europe?
It depends. Sunlight can be brighter in the US or Europe, it just depends on the weather at the time and what place you are looking at. However, sunlight is sunlight and is generally the same all over the planet.
What is the relationship between latitude and the angle of the sun's rays?
They both have to do with whether or not people get sunlight or if they don't.
