The unequal heating of different areas on the planet sets up difference in temperatures and pressure. That gives rise to storms and circulation of the atmosphere. The suns angle is important because the intensity of sunlight in the tropics gives more solar energy that the lower angle of the light given to the poles. Thus making the topics hotter and the poles colder.

How does the angle of the sun affect the tropical climate?
Because of the direct sunlight the sun hits right at the tropical climate at the equator.
What are the factors that affect Norway's weather and climate?
Weather, location, angle the sun's rays hit it are somefactors affecting Norway's weather and climate.
What single feature is primarily responsible for the variation of climate in different parts of the world?
The angle of incoming sunlight
How many degrees from the equator is Washington dc?
The latitude of the Washington Monument is 38.8895°N. That's the angle between it and the equator. Other spots around the capitol city have somewhat different latitudes.
What is the difference in the angle of the sun between low-latitude regions and middle- and high-latitude regions?
Zero degrees latitude starts at the equator. As you go up or down from the equator, latitude increases from 0 to 90 degrees. The most northern point, the geographic North pole is 90 degrees North. The most south point, the geographic South pole is 90 degrees South. Close to the pole is high latitude and close to the equator is low latitude. Higher latitudes are generally colder and lower latitudes are more tropical due to the amount of solar radiation received.
How does the angle of the sun's radiation affect the climate of at certain latitude?

If Earth was tilted at a different angle how would that affect Mercury?
Not at all.
How does the tilt of the earth's axis and the angle of sunlight hitting the regions of the temperate deciduous forests effect the climate?
it can change the climate it different regions.
How does the angle of the sun affect climate?
because if the sun is facing north than the north part of the earth will be hotter the south side
What single feature is primarily responsible for the variation of climate in different parts of the world?
The angle of incoming sunlight
How does changing the angle of a catapult affect the objects speed?
It shouldn't affect the speed much, but at different angles (and the same speed), an object can reach different distances.
How many parallel latitudes are there?
That's like asking "How many lengths are there on a ruler ?" 'Latitude' is an angle used to describe locations on the Earth's surface. All locations on Earth have latitudes between zero and positive 90 degrees, or between zero and negative 90 degrees. How many numbers can you think of between -90 and +90 ? That's how many different latitudes there are.
What is the colder at high latitudes because the sun's rays strike earths surface at a angle there?
Oblique
How many degrees from the equator is Washington dc?
The latitude of the Washington Monument is 38.8895°N. That's the angle between it and the equator. Other spots around the capitol city have somewhat different latitudes.
How does the angle of the light affect the temperature of a surface?
