Magnetism leaves particles in molten metals lined up with north and south poles (magnetic poles, not the Earth's poles). Over time different layers of rock show that the N-S and S-N poles have switched, with S pointing in one direction and S pointing in a different direction depending on the age of the rock.

How much sunlight reaches a location at a particular time is determined by earths shape and what?

The amount of sunlight reaching a location at a particular time is determined by Earth's shape, axial tilt, rotation, and orbit around the sun. These factors affect the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface, leading to variations in day length and intensity of sunlight throughout the year.
