Why does lightning strike the most on the Equator?
It has to do with the fact the climate is warmer near the equator.
The sun is most directly overhead near the what?
Equator
Which climate is most common in countries directly on the equator?
The 'equatorial' climate is.
Why are climates located farther from the equator cooler than those to the equator?
Its is cooler because of earths tilt the sun's ultraviolet rays hit most directly on the equator so it is hotter by the equator so the farther from the equator the cooler.
Why are climates located farther from the equator cooler than those closer to the equator?
Its is cooler because of earths tilt the sun's ultraviolet rays hit most directly on the equator so it is hotter by the equator so the farther from the equator the cooler.
Where does The rays of the sun strike earth most directly?
at the Equator
Where the sun's rays strike earth most directly and least directly?
Directly is near the equator. Least directly is at the poles.
Identify where the sun's rays strike earth most directly and least directly?
Directly is near the equator. Least directly is at the poles.
Where do the rays of the sun strike most directly on the earth the equator at the poles in the temperate zone or over the oceans?
i think it was at the equator or poles
The rays of the sun strike earth most directly?
the rays of the sun strike most directly at the equator, which is also why the countrie son it are the hottest. Also, the equator is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the Earth and the sun so the sun hits it directly at 90 degrees. The equator sees the sun for most of the day (24 hours).
Why does lightning strike the most on the Equator?

Where on earth do the Sun's rays shine at the most indirect angle?
It strikes it most directly at the equator, on average during the year.
The sun is most directly overhead near the?
Equator
The sun is most directly overhead near the what?
Equator
Why is the climate near the the equator usally warmer?
As you move away from the tropics, the angle of the sun increases and less of the energy of the sun reaches the surface to warm things up. Near the equator, the sun is most nearly directly overhead most of the time and the tropics (near the equator) get the most energy from the sun, thus keeping things warmer.
What are three reasons the Earth heats unevenly?
Air currents, Ocean currents, and the distance from the sun.No it is because of the 23 1/2o tilt of the earthbecause of the air pollution that makes the earth's o-zone layer thinner and the greenhouse gasses that makes the heat of the sun come back in the earthbecause of Earth's spherical shape, different locations on Earth's surface receive different amounts of solar energy. Near the equator, the sun's rays strike the surface most directly. At latitudes farther from the equator the rays strike Earth's surface at lower angles, causing the same amount of solar energy to be spread over a larger area
What direction do most of the surface currents north of the equator move?
The current north of the equator moves clockwise.
