Question

The sun’s energy hits earth’s surface at the most direct angle at which locations?

Answer 1

Answer:

at the Equator

Explanation:

The four seasons are determined by four main positions in the Earth's orbit in its turn around the Sun (ecliptic plane), which are called solstices and equinoxes: winter solstice (Capricorn point, December 22), spring equinox (Aries point, around March 21-22), summer solstice (Cancer point, June 21) and autumn equinox (Libra point, around September 22-23).

In the equinoxes, the axis of rotation of the Earth is perpendicular to the sun's rays, which fall vertically over the equator. In solstices, the axis is inclined 23.5º, so that the sun's rays fall vertically on the Tropic of Cancer (summer in the northern hemisphere) or Capricorn (summer in the southern hemisphere).

When falling vertically on Ecuador, it generates a greater impact on the surface of the Tierre reaching a greater amount of energy and therefore UV rays.
