Seeing that direct light will make things hotter such as a lamp pointing at a piece of paper directly, it will get hotter as apposed to if the paper wasn't pointing at the lamp, which is indirect light. The same thing occur with earth and our sun. Depending on what side of revolution the earth is on, it can occur on what hemisphere the light is hitting on. For example, if sunlight were to be hitting the eastern side of the sun, direct light would hit on the Southern Hemisphere while indirect light hits on the northern hemisphere. (I know it sounds a bit confusing but this is probably the best way i can put it) just think of it this way, direct light hits the earth when its on the western and southern sides, while indirect light hits he earth when its on the eastern and northern sides. Hope this helps:)
