The reason sunlight hits different latitudes on Earth at different angles is primarily due to the Earth's tilt on its axis. This axial tilt (approximately 23.5 degrees) causes varying angles of sunlight to reach the surface at different times of the year, leading to the seasons and the variation in solar energy received at different latitudes.
