it doesn't thankfully...its filtered through our atmosphere..thankfully.
The polar regions never receive any direct sunlight.
You receive more direct sunlight at the equator compared to other places on Earth due to its position near the middle of the planet. This is because the sun is directly overhead at noon, resulting in more intense and direct sunlight.
The Equator (tropical zone) gets the most sunlight during the year. The reason is because of the tilt of the Earth on its axis. I left this information out originally.
This is due to the tilt of Earth's axis. As Earth orbits the sun, different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight based on the angle of the sun's rays hitting the Earth. This tilt causes one hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight (summer) while the opposite hemisphere receives less direct sunlight (winter).
Regions of the earth that receive less heat, such as polar regions and higher altitudes, tend to have colder air temperatures compared to areas near the equator. This is due to the angle of the sun's rays and the amount of daylight hours these regions receive, resulting in less direct sunlight and warmth. This leads to cooler temperatures in these areas.
It's called "the Terminator".
Because the rays of the sun is so hot it will heat any part of the earth witout being hit my 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.
the tilt of the earths axis
The Earth receives varying amounts of sunlight due to its spherical shape and tilted axis. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive direct sunlight at different angles, leading to variations in the amount of sunlight received. Factors like seasons and Earth's orbit around the sun also affect the distribution of sunlight on Earth's surface.
The amount of direct solar energy at different areas of the Earth is affected by factors such as the angle of incoming sunlight, atmospheric conditions like cloud cover and pollution, and the Earth's axial tilt. Areas closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight throughout the year, while areas closer to the poles receive less direct sunlight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.

equator
You receive more direct sunlight at the equator compared to other places on Earth due to its position near the middle of the planet. This is because the sun is directly overhead at noon, resulting in more intense and direct sunlight.
The Equator (tropical zone) gets the most sunlight during the year. The reason is because of the tilt of the Earth on its axis. I left this information out originally.
The Earth's round shape and tilted axis cause variations in the amount of sunlight different places receive. The angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface changes as it revolves around the sun, leading to seasonal variations in daylight hours and intensity. This results in different regions receiving varying levels of direct sunlight throughout the year.
Latitudes closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight throughout the year, leading to higher temperatures. This is due to the Earth's curvature and the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface at different latitudes.
