The area of Earth receiving the most heat from the Sun's rays is typically **north of the equator**, particularly around the equator itself. This is because the Sun's rays strike this region more directly compared to the poles, where the rays hit at a more oblique angle, spreading the energy over a larger area and thus receiving less concentrated heat. Therefore, areas near the equator generally experience warmer temperatures and more solar energy.
