Every day, the Sun appears to move across the sky from east to west because of Earth's rotation.

# data[].attributes.body
When the Sun's position is higher in the sky at noon, there are more hours of daylight and sunlight strikes the surface at a more vertical angle. The higher the Sun appears in the sky, the more solar energy reaches the surface. In general, this makes it warmer.

# data[].attributes.body
When the Sun appears lower at noon, there are fewer hours of daylight and, since sunlight strikes less directly, less energy reaches the surface.

# data[].attributes.body
When sunlight strikes Earth's surface more directly, it is more intense.

# data[].attributes.body
When sunlight strikes at a shallower angle, it is less intense because it spreads over a larger area.

# data[].attributes.body
Perihelion is when the earth is closest to the Sun and Aphelion is when Earth is further away from the sun.
