Detailed explanation-1: -Direct sunlight reaches the Earth’s surface when there is no cloud cover between the sun and the Earth, while cloud cover causes indirect sunlight to reach the surface. In gardening, sunlight falling directly on the plant is direct sunlight, while indirect sunlight refers to shaded areas.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the equinox, the Sun’s rays shine most directly on the equator, and the Northern and Southern Hemispheres get the same amount of Sunlight.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sunlight rays are concentrated on smaller surface areas, causing warmer temperatures and climates. As incoming rays move further away from the equator, solar intensity decreases. This is due to decreasing incoming sunlight angles that result in the Sun’s rays being spread out over a greater surface area of the Earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Equinox (Vernal & Autumnal) The word equinox is derived from two Latin words-aequus (equal) and nox (night). At the equator, the sun is directly overhead at noon on these two equinoxes.
