- - - - Away from the equator
        
        The sun’s rays are also spread over a wide area, therefore less intense heating takes place, causing temperature to become low.
        
        The angle at which the sun’s rays strike the Earth's surface is low
        
        The lower the angle of the sun, the greater the distance through teh atmosphere the rays have to pass. More heat is absorbed by the atmosphere or reflected back into outer space, which results in less heat reaching the Earth’s surface
      - Near the equator
        
        When the sun is overhead, it shines directly at the Earth’s surface striking it perpendicularly.
        
        The angle at which the sun’s rays strike the earth’s surface is perpendicular
        
        There is more intense heating over a smaller area of the Earth's surface, thus resulting in higher temperatures.
    - - Angle of incidence, high, close to 90 degree celcius
      - Concentration over a small area
      - Distance sun needs to travel through the atmosphere (shorter)
      - Less radiation lost in space
      - Intense heating
        
        Link to high mean annual temperature
