Which part of the earth receive most of the sun rays?

The "Equator" or areas above the equator receive the majority of the sun's light, while the poles receive the least.

  • At the equator, the sun's rays touch the Earth's atmosphere the most directly. The rays are focused on a small region as a result of this. The atmosphere gets warm more when the rays touch it more directly. This is depicted in the figure below.
  • Take note about how the Earth is rotated on its axis. Because of the inclination of the Earth, the sun's rays reach the surface at a slant at the poles, making them less concentrated. This disperses the rays over a large area. The region is heated less when the sun's rays strike at a slant. The more concentrated the rays are, the more energy and warmth an area receives; the less focused the rays are, the less energy and warmth an area receives.
  • The sun's energy is more concentrated in the lowest latitudes. The higher latitudes get the least amount of sunlight.
  • Because of the Earth's tilt, various regions produce varying levels of solar radiation. Atmospheric circulation is driven by the variation in solar energy obtained at various latitudes. Heat is more prevalent in areas that get more solar energy. Heat is less prevalent in areas that get less solar energy. The air over the places that receive the most heat warms up and rises. Since the air over the regions getting less heat is colder, it sinks. Wind is created by rising warm air and falling cold air, which carries air and heat across the world.

Energy and Latitude

  • Different areas of the Earth's atmosphere receive varying levels of sunlight. The Sun's rays penetrate the Earth's crust most precisely at the Equator. This concentrates the rays on a tiny spot. The Sun's rays hit the surface at a slant near the poles. This disperses the rays over a vast range. The more concentrated the rays are, the more energy a place absorbs and the colder it is.
  • The disparity in solar energy obtained at various latitudes drives air circulation. Heat is concentrated in areas that get more solar energy. Heat is reduced in areas that get less solar energy. Warm air rises, while cold air falls. These concepts imply that air flows around the earth. In certain cases, heat travels around the world. This decides how the world moves.
