The correct answer is:
A gets direct sunlight all year.
This is why the equator maintains high temperatures throughout the year.
The climate is not the same in every part of the Earth. At the equator, the imaginary line around the center of the Earth, it's pretty hot all year. This is because the equator always receives direct sunlight.
At the poles, the Arctic and Antarctic at the top and bottom of the planet, the season change drastically. This is because they get very strong direct sunlight in the summer and no sunlight at all in the winter. In the summer above the Arctic Circle, there is a period of time when the nin never sets. This is called Midnight Sun. In the winter, there is a period of time when the sun never rises. This is called Polar Night.
The equator has high temperatures because it
A gets direct sunlight all year
gets indirect sunlight all year.
C receives no sunlight in the winter
D receives indirect sunlight for part of the year.
