Does the sun rotate faster than the equator?
Than the equator of what? The sun's equator rotates faster than it's poles (about 25 [Earth] days vrs about 40 near the poles).
How long does it take for the sun to rotate near its equator?
About 27 days Since the sun is not solid, it rotates at different rates at different latitudes. One rotation takes 36 days at the poles but only 25 days at the equator.
Why does the sun feel hotter in countries near the equator?
because the sun is always hitting the equator
Why do the poles receive less solar energy from the sun?
The poles recieve less solar energy because they are farther from the equator than other places. The equator is the warmest place, it's where the sun gives off its most solar energy. If you have been to the Carribian you notice how it's hot and summer-like. Places by the equator don't really have seasons. Just summer weather. The poles, on the other hand, are far away from the equator, and the sun.
Why do poles receive less solar energy then the equator does?
The poles receive less solar energy then the equator does because the radiation from the sun has to pass through much more atmosphere to reach the poles than to reach the equator. During that transit, more of the energy is scattered on the path to the poles, and less reaches the ground there.
Does the sun rotate faster than the equator?
Than the equator of what? The sun's equator rotates faster than it's poles (about 25 [Earth] days vrs about 40 near the poles).
Is the climate coldest near the poles or the equator?
It is the coldest near the poles and hottest near the equator.
What if the earth revolved around the sun not tilted on its axis?
it Will be warm on the countries near the equator and near poles are cold
Is there more rainfall near the equator or near the poles?
Near the Equator. It doesn't rain at the poles, and snowfall is almost non-existent at the South Pole.
Why is there warm water near Earth's poles?
As you get farther from the equator the sun rays get less concentrated
Do temps get colder or warmer near the equator?
temperatures get warmer as you get near the equator due to the closer the equator is to the sun than the poles. Usually as you get to the equator the weather becomes more tropical and humid but it is still warm.
Why do areas closer to the equator have warmer air than areas farther away?
the sun's radiation is concentrated in smaller area near the equator
How long does it take for the sun to rotate once?
At the equator: 25 days. Near the poles: 34 days.
Is there more precipitation near the equator or the poles?
there is more precipitation near the equator..
What is one reason why it is colder at the poles and warmer at the equator?
sun hits equator directly and not the poles
Is Cancun near the equator or one of the poles?
It is nearer to the equator.
Why are temperatures warmer near the equator than near the poles?
the sun in every season hits that are more than any spot on earth the poles receiving the least amount due to the fact they are pushed back a bit, also areas surrounded or near water happen to be hotter on the equator.
