It depends on what the date is. During the European summer ( or ozzie winter ) the sun will be north. During ozzie summer sun is south. At the equinoxes the sun will be dead overhead and won't give any indication of where north is.
Solar maximum can occur up to 42 degrees north of the equator as it did in 1859.
Yes, the equator generally receives the most solar radiation due to its direct exposure to the sun throughout the year. The sun's rays strike the equator more directly compared to higher latitudes, leading to consistently higher temperatures and more intense solar energy. This results in minimal seasonal variation in solar radiation at the equator, making it the region with the highest average solar energy received.
No, solar rays do not strike the equator at a 180-degree angle. The angle at which the sunlight strikes the equator varies throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This variation is what causes the seasons.
The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.
The two periods of maximum solar radiation at the equator occur when the Sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. During these times, the Sun's rays strike the equator most directly, resulting in maximum solar radiation.
Solar maximum can occur up to 42 degrees north of the equator as it did in 1859.
No. I live in California and have solar panels on my house. I am not on the equator.
Windows and solar panels designed to catch the sun should always face towards the equator. In the US this means they should face south.
Solar panels are most efficient when facing the equator because that is where the sun's rays are most direct, providing the most energy. By facing the equator, solar panels can capture more sunlight throughout the day and generate more electricity.

They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
The belt of maximum solar energy input to Earth is the Equator. This is because the Sun's rays hit the Earth more directly at the Equator, resulting in more intense solar radiation compared to other latitudes.
"The solar rays are hotter on the equator than in the northern hemisphere."
The equator.
No, solar rays do not strike the equator at a 180-degree angle. The angle at which the sunlight strikes the equator varies throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This variation is what causes the seasons.
Depends on where you are on the world. Solar energy is only available when the sun shines. Close to the equator, solar energy is about equally available year round. further away from the equator, the availability of solar energy is about proportional to the amount and intensity of sunlight.
