Although the solar intensity at the North Pole is less than the Equator, there are many more hours of daylight.

Why do the poles receive more solar energy then the equator does?
They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
What is the belt of maximum solar energy input to Earth?
the equator
Why do the poles receive less solar energy than the equators do?
It is because the North and South Poles don't point right at the Sun, as the Equator does, being on the top of the Earth the poles cannot get the direct rays from the Sun. But, the Equator can because it is always pointing towards the Sun, thus, getting more solar energy. Hope this helped.
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.
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 is it people would rather have wind energy than solar energy up north?
The further north you go from the equator the cooler it is. Cold countries are perhaps more likely to have useful winds to harness rather then solar energy.
Why do the poles receive more solar energy then the equator does?
They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
Is solar energy only available to those living on the equator?
No. I live in California and have solar panels on my house. I am not on the equator.
What degrees in the equator is solar maximum?
Solar maximum can occur up to 42 degrees north of the equator as it did in 1859.
Which region receive the most solar energy equatoria or polar regions?
The region on earth that receives the most solar energy is the equator. This is because the equator is the closest to the sun.
Is solar energy only available during summer?
Depends on where you are on the world. Solar energy is only available when the sun shines. Close to the equator, solar energy is about equally available year round. further away from the equator, the availability of solar energy is about proportional to the amount and intensity of sunlight.
What is the belt of maximum solar energy input to Earth?
the equator
What part of the earth receives the most solar energy?
The equator.
What part of earth receives the most direct solar energy?
The equator.
Why do the poles receive less solar energy than the equators do?
It is because the North and South Poles don't point right at the Sun, as the Equator does, being on the top of the Earth the poles cannot get the direct rays from the Sun. But, the Equator can because it is always pointing towards the Sun, thus, getting more solar energy. Hope this helped.
What region of the earth Near the equator receives the most solar energy-?
All regions near the equator receive about the same amount of solar energy but the Atacama desert gets the most.
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.
