Expert Solution
Step 1
We can say that Earth receives direct sunlight when the path of light is not blocked or interrupted when it reaches the surface of the Earth. Earth receives direct sunlight at different latitudes at different times of the year. Days with direct sunlight at Equator happens twice a year. These days are called equinoxes and occur around March 20 and September 23 every year. The day with direct sunlight at the Tropic of Cancer is called Summer Solstice and occurs at between June 20 and June 22. The day with direct sunlight at the Tropic of Capricorn is Winter and occurs on December 21.
