How is the angle of insolation different at different locations on Earth?

Answer:
The angle of insolation is different at different locations on Earth because the Earth is split into 3 main regions: Polar, Temperate, and Equator. Since Earth is a sphere, the middle is more more direct to the sun, unlike the other regions. So, the sun would "give" the heat to the equator more easily and the heat spreading on the other regoins would spread and it takes some time to heat them up.
