Temp....
When the sun's rays strike Earth's surface near the equator, the incoming solar radiation is more direct (nearly perpendicular or closer to a 90˚ angle). Therefore, the solar radiation is concentrated over a smaller surface area, causing warmer temperatures.
Precipitation....
The sun provides what almost everything on Earth needs to go—energy, or heat. Heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds... clouds that move over the globe and drop rain and snow. This process is a large part of the water cycle.
Wind...
When the Earth's surface absorbs the sun's energy, it turns the light into heat. This heat on the Earth's surface warms the air above it. The air over the Equator gets warmer than the surface air near the poles. ... This moving air is what we call wind.
