The sun's noon time position is always high in the sky at any latitude close to the equator. This means two things that increase the heat received from the sun:
- The sun's rays strike horizontal surfaces, including, notably, the ground, more directly. This means that the maximum solar energy is received per unit area.
- The sun's rays pass through the minimum of atmosphere on their way to the earth's surface. This means that the solar energy is least attenuated by absorption and reflection back into space.
