    Southern regions are warmer than northern regions for three key reasons: 1) Southern regions are closer to the equator where sunlight hits at a near 90 degree angle, providing more direct sunlight. 2) As the angle increases with distance from the equator, the sunlight covers a larger area resulting in less heat over the entire area. 3) Evidence from an experiment using a flashlight, blocks, and circles on paper showed that the larger the area covered by the light, the less bright and intense the light is, corresponding to cooler temperatures further from the equator.
