5 important questions on Planet Earth

What elements influence the temperature of a sun ray?

The angle at which it lands on the earth and the distance that place has to the sun.

How come we don't have 12 hours of daylight every day of the year?

Since the earth's axis is tilted as it spins around the sun, the hemisphere that is tilted more towards the sun receives more and longer sunlight light. Because of this, we have longer days in the summer and short ones in the winter.

How long does it takes earth to spin around its axis?

Exactly 24 hours.
