The amount of solar energy that a place receives relates to the angle at which the sun's rays strike earth
The equator.
torrid zone
The region on earth that receives the most solar energy is the equator. This is because the equator is the closest to the sun.
No, the tilt of the earth doesn't affect the amount of solar energy received from the sun. It does mean that at different seasons, different parts of the earth will get more than others, but the overall amount remains the same.
The 70% of the sun's energy that is absorbed by the earth's surface, differences in solar energy that the earth receives across the globe.

Two factors that determine the amount of solar energy an area receives are the amount of atmosphere it has to travel through and the tilt of the Earth. The more atmosphere the solar energy goes through the less energy there will be when it hits the surface. Also, the tilt of the Earth determines the amount of solar energy because if you are tilted towards the sun you are a little bit closer, so the energy doesn't have to go through as much atmosphere as the side of the Earth tilted away from the sun. Hope this helps!

Solar Energy. The total solar energy absorbed by Earth's atmosphere, oceans and land masses is approximately 3,850,000 exajoules (EJ) per year. The Earth receives 174 petawatts of incoming solar radiation at the upper atmosphere.
the position of the sun. If it is perpendicularly overhead then that place receives the most solar energy.
The position of the area in relation to the sun.
