What are some lines of latitude?
Latitudes are parallel lines around the earth, parallel with the equator and marking the same distance from the equator. They are referred to as the angle made at the centre of the earth, from the equator to the point in question. The poles are at ninety degrees from the equator, so the maximum angle for any parallel of latitude, is 90 degrees. The equator is at zero.
What is the angle at which the sun's rays strike the surface of Earth in the tropics?
In the tropics, near the equator, the sun's rays strike the Earth's surface at nearly a 90-degree angle, resulting in more direct and concentrated sunlight. This is why these regions receive more solar energy and experience higher temperatures compared to regions farther from the equator.
