Why does more solar energy reach the equatorial regions than the polar regions?
Because the sun hits more directly at the equator. More sunlight is reflected off from the polar regions, and so less sunlight hits in the polar regions. NO! The sun's rays strike the polar regions at a lower angle, therefore delivering the same amount of energy, but spreading it over a greater area. This is what causes lower temperatures in the polar regions.
