Because it is the closest star to earth, meaning less energy is lost to the cosmos on its journey towards earth.

Which of the earth receives solar energy at a 90 degree angle?
When sun is overhead its 90 degree. But equatorial region on earth gets more effect.
Does Uranus give off more energy than it receives from the Sun?
No. It receives more energy than it gives off. That is one of the reasons it is referred to as an "Ice Giant", along with Neptune.
Why does Earth receive more energy from the Sun than from any other star?
Because the Sun is the closest to the Earth.
What planet radiates more energy from space than it receives from the sun?
It is Jupiter
Why do the poles receive more solar energy then the equator does?
They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
Why does earth receive more energy?
Earth receives more energy from the moon, sun, stars, and other planets
Will the earth begin to cool if the Earth received more energy than it transmitted over a long period of time?
no, Earth gets more energy than it gives off
Which of the earth receives solar energy at a 90 degree angle?
When sun is overhead its 90 degree. But equatorial region on earth gets more effect.
Why does the equator receives more of the suns energy?
The light at the equator hits the earth perpendicular to the surface to the earth. The further you are from the equator, the light comes in at an angle closer and closer to parallel. The closer to parallel the light comes in at, the more of it is reflected, so it receives less energy than the perpendicular light at the equator.
Why does Earth only get heat and light energy from the sun and not any other stars when some stars are 100 times bigger than it?
Earth technically receives some energy from other stars, but only a miniscule amount. This is because those stars are millions of times more distant than the sun.
What factors influence the amount of energy that different places on earth receives from the sun?
The main factor that influences the amount of energy that different places on Earth receive from the sun is the places location. The closer it is to the equator the more sun energy it will receive.
Does the earth's tilt cause more daylight in the summer?
The tilt of the earth's axis with respect to the plane of its orbit causes more daylight over one of the earth's hemispheres for half of the year, and over the other hemisphere during the other half of the year. Whichever hemisphere has more hours of sunshine receives more solar energy, experiences gradually increasing temperatures, and eventually calls the season "Summer".
What is the degree latitude that receives more direct solar energy than any other latitude?
23.5 N
Why earth receives more direct energy at lower latidues thn at higher ladtidues?
The closer you are to the equator - the steeper the angle of the sun's rays (and thus more concentrated.
Does tilt affect the amount of solar energy earth receives?
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.
What receives more solar energy?
The photic zone.
It raidiates more energy than it receives?
jupiter
