If your question is 'Where is there most daylight time?' then the Earth's rotation means that nowhere receives significantly more than anywhere else, regardless of latitude.

However, if your question is 'Which part of the Earth receives most energy from the sun?' then the latitude becomes the most significant factor. Energy from the sun is most dense in the region between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, i.e. between 23.5 degrees north and south of the equator.

The latitude of highest energy density will vary throughout the year, being at it's most northerly in June, at the equator in March and September, and most southerly in December.

Explain how the shading of the direct light of the sun causes lunar eclipse?

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. This shadow has three parts: the umbra (the darkest part), the penumbra (the outer part), and the antumbra. When the Moon moves into the Earth's umbra, it experiences a total lunar eclipse, where it may appear red due to Rayleigh scattering of sunlight through the Earth's atmosphere, often referred to as a "blood moon." Thus, the shading of direct sunlight by the Earth is what creates the conditions for a lunar eclipse.


Why are earth's polar regions never very warm?

Earth's polar regions are the areas of the globe surrounding the poles also known..part of what little sunlight the Polar regions receive, contributing to the cold.


Which part of the earth receive less heat why?

The farther from the equator, the weaker the sunlight gets.


Why is the Equator the warmest part of earth?

The Equator receives direct sunlight year-round, causing more intense heating compared to other regions on Earth. This concentrated heat results in higher average temperatures and makes the Equator the warmest part of the planet.


Why does the equator receive more direct sunlight than the poles receive?

This is because the surface more directly faces the sun (on average) the nearer to the equator you get. The sunlight that hits the poles often is at an extremely oblique angle. To see this effect for yourself, shine a flashlight at a globe or ball and observe how much more of a "direct hit" is received by the part of the sphere that shows the flattest area to the light source.

What part of earth does not receives direct sunlight?

The parts of Earth that do not receive direct sunlight are the polar regions, specifically the North and South Poles, due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This results in periods of continuous darkness during the winter months.


Did sunlight hit all part of all earth evenly?

Of course sunlight doesn't hit the earth's surface evenly! Countries on the equator or near it receive the most direct sunlight. And of course countries in the artic circle have hardly any! [^-^]

What you see of the moon depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces the earth?

Yes, exactly. The part of the Moon we see bright is the part that is exposed to direct sunlight.


What part of earth's system absorbs the most energy?

The area around the Equator receives the most direct sunlight, thus absorbs the most heat.


What part of the Earth system absorbs the most energy?

The area around the Equator receives the most direct sunlight, thus absorbs the most heat.


What part of the earth is the warmest and why?

The warmest part of the Earth is typically the equator. This is because the equator receives direct sunlight year-round, resulting in higher temperatures. Additionally, the equatorial region has a more consistent amount of solar energy received compared to areas further from the equator.
