The sun's energy influences climate in different ways. For example, the latitudes at the equator receive more intense energy from the sun and therefore have warmer temperatures. How does the sun's energy MOST DIRECTLY influence precipitation in an area?

Answer:

The Sun's energy is transferred as both light and heat energy, that raises the temperature of an area receiving the Sunlight. The increased temperature results in the evaporation of water from surfaces and water bodies, such that the mass of water vapor rises up into the atmosphere and condenses when it gets away from the ground heat to the cooler and higher altitudes

When there is a situation of low pressure, the wind blows into the low pressure, where, in the equator, comprises of high temperature air which could contain considerable amount of vapor from the neighboring water bodies, resulting in the eventual rise of very moist air, up into the atmosphere, that condenses at low temperature at the high altitudes, accumulate into larger masses of liquid water, and fall as rain
