The video tutorial explains the concept of the angle of insulation and its impact on temperature. It demonstrates how the sun's angle changes throughout the day, affecting the intensity of sunlight and energy distribution. The tutorial also covers factors like time of day, location, and season that influence the sun's angle, leading to variations in temperature. The session concludes with a light-hearted knock-knock joke.
