Cold air sinks
If the poles received less energy then it would be darker most of the day and year causing a drop in temperature causing the freezing and formation of new glaciers, decreasing the sea level.

What happens when the pole receives less of the suns energy?
Cold air sinksIf the poles received less energy then it would be darker most of the day and year causing a drop in temperature causing the freezing and formation of new glaciers, decreasing the sea level.
Where is the suns energy less entense on earth?
At the poles.
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 does air temperature usually decreases towards the poles?
areas near the poles receive less solar energy per unit area.
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.
What happens when you skip breakfast?
you have less energy
What happened when the poles receive less of the sun's energy?
Cold air sinksIf the poles received less energy then it would be darker most of the day and year causing a drop in temperature causing the freezing and formation of new glaciers, decreasing the sea level.
What happens if energy intake is less than energy expenditure?
weight loss.
Why do the poles receive less solar energy that the equator does?
The poles receive less solar energy than the equator primarily due to the curvature of the Earth. At the equator, sunlight strikes the surface more directly, resulting in higher energy concentration, while at the poles, sunlight arrives at a more oblique angle, spreading the energy over a larger area. Additionally, the longer path through the atmosphere at higher latitudes leads to more scattering and absorption of sunlight. This combination of factors results in lower solar energy availability at the poles compared to the equator.
Why does less solar energy reach the pole then the equator?
Less solar energy reaches the poles than the equator due to the curvature of the Earth. At the equator, sunlight strikes the surface more directly, resulting in higher energy concentration. In contrast, at the poles, sunlight arrives at a steeper angle, spreading the energy over a larger area and reducing its intensity. Additionally, the poles experience prolonged periods of darkness during winter months, further limiting solar energy absorption.
Why is latitude a major influence on the climate of a region?
Latitude determines how much solar energy a region receives. The angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface affects temperature and weather patterns. Regions closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight and tend to have warmer climates, while regions closer to the poles receive less direct sunlight and tend to have cooler climates.
Are wind and ocean currents formed by convection?
Yes, insolation, which is the amount of energy a surface receives from the sun in kilowatts, at is less at the poles than the equator. This causes convection and in turn causes wind and ocean currents, but other influences, such as Earth's rotation and topography are also responsible.
