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?

a) the sun’s energy powers the water cycle by causing runoff, which leads to precipitation.
b) the sun’s energy controls the amount of condensation and therefore precipitation.
c) the sun’s energy creates surface currents in oceans that bring precipitation to different areas.
d) the sun’s energy drives the water cycle, which determines precipitation. (idk which this falls under but its science soo)
