Near the tropics, the sun’s rays fall at a greater intensity and directly at day length, which makes it vulnerable for the greater part of the day as it remains largely overhead. In comparison, at the higher altitudes, there is a greater transition at the position of the sun during summer (higher up in the sky) and winter (comparatively lower).
