How does latitude afeect the temperatuer at the poles?
The further north you go in the northern hemisphere the lower in the sky the sun appears. This affects the amount of solar energy the north pole (or south pole) gets. Also the north pole has open ocean (or ice) and the south pole has land with ice on it. Because of this the north pole has ocean water that can circulate whereas the south pole has rock that cannot circulate energy. This leads to milder temperatures at the north pole verses the south pole. In the long run the angle the sun appears in the sky directly affects along with the length of daylight hours how warm it gets at the pole(s).
