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.
the distance away from the equator (further away = less of the suns energy), and also the amount of cloud and type of cloud in that location (more cloud reflects more of the suns energy away from that location).
for history please visit http://www.dbksolar.com/ It gives the history, i found it interesting myself.
Mostly anything. Plants, humans, and animals are just a few of the examples.
The angle at which the suns rays hit the earth is more nearly perpendicular, therefore more energy is delivered per unit area. Secondly the rays pass through much less atmosphere so less energy is absorbed by the atmosphere.

1. The equator receives more of the Sun's energy. b. air near the equator is warmer.
yes
the equator
The equator receives the most direct sunlight from the sun due to its angle to Earth's axis. This is why regions near the equator tend to be warmer and experience more consistent sunlight throughout the year.
The equator receives direct rays from sun. It is present in front of sun.

No, the sun's radiant energy is strongest at the Equator.
Suns rays are more vertical, hence stronger in their effect.
The incoming sun's energy is most concentrated at the equator because the sun's rays hit this area more directly, which results in greater heating and energy absorption. This is why the equatorial regions generally experience higher temperatures compared to regions closer to the poles.
The Atacama desert
The Sun's rays are more spread out at 40 degrees latitude compared to the equator due to the curvature of the Earth. At the equator, sunlight strikes the surface more directly, resulting in a concentrated beam of energy. In contrast, at higher latitudes like 40 degrees, the rays hit the Earth at a slant, distributing the energy over a larger area and reducing its intensity. This variance in angle leads to differences in temperature and climate between the equator and higher latitudes.
