    Earth takes in thermal energy from the sun in a process called Terrestrial absorption.

    Sunlight strikes Earth's surface at different angles. This angle is called the angle of solar incidence

    Explanation:

    Sun is the primary source for heat and light for all of us. It emits a vast amount of heat energy in the space, some part of which is intercepted by the Earth. This energy is absorbed by the Earth in the form of Terrestrial absorption.

    Earth is oblate in shape. Light rays from the Sun strikes Earth's surface at a different angle. This angle is called an angle of solar incidence.

    The equatorial region receives incoming solar radiation perpendicularly (at 90 degrees) which decreases as one moves towards poles.
