If I am interpreting the question correctly, they fall more directly on Florida. If you imagine sun rays as arrows pointing directly from the sun to the earth, when they hit Ontario, they are at an angle because earth is a sphere. They hit florida more directly because florida lies closer to the equator, which is more perpendicular to the sun.

Why is the strength of sunlight greater in Florida even thought its in the northern hemisphere?

The strength of sunlight in Florida is greater due to its geographical location closer to the equator, even though it is in the Northern Hemisphere. This means that the sun's rays hit Florida more directly, resulting in higher solar intensity. Additionally, Florida's relatively flat terrain and subtropical climate allow for less atmospheric obstruction, further enhancing sunlight exposure. As a result, the combination of these factors contributes to the increased strength of sunlight in the region.

Why does Florida have over 6 tornadoes a year?

Most states have more than 6 tornadoes per year. Weak tornadoes are more common than most people think. Florida averages about 65 tornadoes per year. This is due to Florida's somewhat unique position. Over the Florida peninsula warm, moist air masses converge. This convergence, combined with intrusions of cooler air from further north means the Florida very frequently gets thunderstorms. In some cases these can spawn tornadoes.


Why do the paths of total eclipses fall more frequently on oceans than on land?

Total solar eclipses occur when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. Since Earth's surface is about 71% ocean, it is more likely for the path of totality to fall over oceans. This is due to the larger expanse of ocean surface compared to land.
