sun angle and microclimates
Sun angle refers to the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface. It determines the intensity and distribution of sunlight in a given location, affecting factors like temperature, shadows, and daylight hours. Microclimates, on the other hand, refer to localized climate conditions that differ from the larger surrounding area. They are influenced by various factors including sun angle, topography, vegetation, and human activities, resulting in unique weather patterns and temperature variations within a small geographic area.
