sun angle and earth's axial tilt
Sun angle refers to the angle at which the Sun's rays hit the Earth's surface. It determines the intensity and distribution of sunlight received in a particular region. The Earth's axial tilt refers to the tilt of the Earth's axis, which is the imaginary line around which the Earth rotates. It is responsible for the changing seasons as it causes different parts of the Earth to be tilted towards or away from the Sun throughout the year.
