December 21 or 22.
The northern hemisphere receives fewer direct rays from the sun in January.
The surface of the Earth, particularly areas with minimal vegetation or obstructions, gets the most direct exposure from the sun's rays. This includes deserts, open water bodies, and urban areas where buildings are spaced apart. Additionally, locations at lower latitudes, such as the tropics, receive more direct sunlight throughout the year compared to higher latitudes.
On the vernal equinox, the sun's rays are directly overhead at the equator. This means that locations along the equator receive the most direct sunlight during this time, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths. As the Earth continues its orbit, the sun will move northward, ultimately reaching the Tropic of Cancer at the summer solstice.
No it does not. Earth's seasons are affected by Earth's tilt. The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees so seasons are created by the sun's direct rays hitting different parts of the earth. Summer in the northern hemisphere starts when the sun's direct rays hit the tropic of cancer. winter occurs in the northern hemisphere when the sun's direct rays hit the tropic of capricorn. fall and spring begin when the sun's direct rays are at the equator. (By the way, summer in the norther hemisphere occurs when the earth is farthest from the sun)
Equator.
December 21 or 22, coinciding with the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere.
The temperature rises most from direct rays because they are more concentrated than slanted rays. Direct rays hit the Earth's surface more directly, leading to more heat absorption compared to slanted rays that are spread over a larger area.
The equator receives direct rays from sun. It is present in front of sun.
When the North Pole tilts away from the sun, the most direct rays strike the Southern Hemisphere, closer to the Tropic of Capricorn. This results in winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

During the daytime.
There's no place where the angle of the sun's rays doesn't change. But the place thataverages the most direct rays for the longest time in the course of a year is the equator.That's zero latitude.That's probably why it's so warm there.
The direct rays of the sun are rays from the sun that hit a certain area.
The sun's rays are strongest at 0 degrees latitude.
direct rays are from the sun and indirect rays are from something else, like it was reflected or something(ex:the moon. It bounces the sun's rays) AKT♥
During an equinox, the sun's rays are most direct at the Earth's equator. This is because during an equinox, the tilt of the Earth's axis is such that the sun is directly over the equator, leading to equal day and night lengths at all latitudes.
