The degree to which an object is affected by light and temperature is related to the angle of illumination. If you stand directly in front of a roaring fire, you will feel very hot; however, if you stand at an angle to the fireplace, you will not feel as warm.
Try conducting an experiment: turn on a desk lamp, then remove the lampshade, and position a globe 1 meter away from the lamp (make sure the center of the globe is aligned with the center of the lamp). Upon careful observation, you will notice that the brightness on the globe is divided into several zones, particularly, the “equatorial zone” and the surrounding areas will be the brightest; as you move towards the South or North, the light gradually diminishes.
This demonstrates that areas where sunlight hits directly are the hottest; areas where sunlight strikes at an angle will have lower temperatures. This also indicates that the angle of sunlight has created different temperature zones (tropical, temperate, polar) across various regions of the Earth. Moreover, to facilitate scientific research, meteorologists and geographers have further divided these “zones” in greater detail.
