Extended data:

Direct sunlight is based on the four seasons of the earth, and different phenomena and influences will appear on the earth due to the movement of the sun's rotation. Therefore, it is generally said that direct sunlight is the main reason for seasonal changes. The direct point of the sun moves westward every hour, passing through longitude 15 degrees every hour. At the vernal equinox, the sun's direct point is on the equator, and then it moves northward until it reaches the Tropic of Cancer on the summer solstice.

During the summer solstice, the direct point of the sun is on the tropic of cancer, and then it moves south until the autumnal equinox reaches the equator. At the autumnal equinox, the sun's direct point is at the equator, and then it continues to move south until the winter solstice reaches the tropic of Capricorn. On the winter solstice, the direct point of the sun is on the tropic of Capricorn, then it moves north and returns to the equator on the spring solstice.
