Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The angle of the Sun's rays striking Earth's surface affects the distribution of solar energy, which is seen from the poles to the equator in terms of hours of daylight and the seasons. Therefore, option D is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because while the angle of the Sun's rays affects the seasons, it is not the only factor involved. Option B is incorrect because the angle of the Sun's rays affects all regions, not just the equatorial and polar regions. Option C is partially correct, but it is not complete as it is only one aspect affected.
