If sunrise is at east and sunset at west, why is it more sunny at south than north throughout the day?
In: 1
Because you live in the Northern hemisphere.
If you lived exactly on the equator (and the planet didn’t rotate at a tilt), then the sun would rise directly up, be at the exact centre of the sky at midday, then set directly down in the west. Because you’re in the north, the sun rises and sets at an angle, and the midday sun isn’t directly overhead, it’s to the south.
