Question

The light is most intense where it strikes Earth _______ to its surface.

Answer 1

Answer: The sun's rays strike Earth's surface most directly at the equator. This focuses the rays on a small area. Because the rays hit more directly, the area is heated more.

Answer 2

The light is most intense where it strikes Earth's surface most directly at the equator

• The sun's rays strike Earth's surface most directly at the equator. The rays are focused on a narrow area as a result of this. The area is heated more because the sunlight touch it more directly.

• The incoming solar radiation is more direct (almost perpendicular or closer to a $90$ degree angle) when the sun's rays contact the Earth's surface near the equator. As a result, solar energy is focused over a smaller surface area, causing temperatures to rise.
