What influence does latitude have on the annual cycle of daily insolation?

The latitude of any given area affects that area's climate because it dictates the intensity and duration of sun exposure. As the Earth orbits the Sun it also wobbles slightly on its axis. At some times the Northern hemisphere is closer to the sun than the Southern Hemisphere and at some times it is further from it. When an area is closer to the sun the days are longer and the sun's rays are stronger. This heats the climate. This is the reason that places experience seasonal variation in temperature. Those locations close to the equator, however, exist in a nearly constant state of Summer because they always get relatively strong sunlight and have long days.
