at the poles
The climate zone where the sun's rays strike the Earth at a very low angle is primarily the polar regions, which include the Arctic and Antarctic. In these areas, the curvature of the Earth causes sunlight to spread over a larger surface area, resulting in less intense solar energy. This low-angle sunlight contributes to colder temperatures and prolonged periods of darkness during winter months.
At noon on the vernal equinox, the sun's vertical rays strike the earth along the equator. This is when the lengths of day and night are nearly equal all over the world.
the earth's magnetic shield repulses cosmic rays therefore creating lights:)
The rays of solar energy that strike the Earth and distribute the greatest amount of energy over the smallest area are known as direct rays. These rays hit a specific location on the Earth's surface with maximum intensity, typically at the equator.
The polar zones gain less heat from the sun because the sun rays are spread wide like a sun shining on the horizon.
The Sun's rays strike least directly at the poles.
Because they are furthest from the sun and the angle at which the sun's rays hit the polar regions is much shallower than at other regions.

the tilt of earth affects the sun's rays because if it is tilted the shaded part will not get the sun's rays but the other side will.

the rays of the sun strike most directly at the equator, which is also why the countrie son it are the hottest. Also, the equator is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the Earth and the sun so the sun hits it directly at 90 degrees. The equator sees the sun for most of the day (24 hours).
