Which factor changes the angle of sun rays?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Latitude

Latitude is the angular distance of a place north or south of the Equator. Because Earth is curved, the angle at which sunlight reaches the surface changes from one latitude to another. Near the Equator, rays are more nearly direct and their energy is concentrated over a smaller area. Toward the poles, rays are more slanting and spread over a larger area.

Therefore, option C, latitude, is correct. This difference in the angle of solar radiation helps create broad regional differences in heating and temperature. Wind speed, soil colour, and population may influence local conditions, but they do not determine the large-scale angle at which the Sun’s rays reach Earth. Latitude is thus a major climatic control.
