Why are average temperatures higher at the equator than near the poles?
The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles
Average temperatures are lower near the poles because sunlight strikes the ground at an angle?
Yes.
Where is a magnets pull the strongest?
The north and south poles.
What is something that has two poles called?
something that has two poles described as a what i think north poleby:Kenedie durens aka kandii
What is the name of the semicircles joining the poles?
tne name of the semicircle joining the poles to poles is called merdian

Yes.
What are 3 things to stay away from when outside and lightning strikes?
During thunder storm one should stay away from tall iron poles (flag poles, street light poles) , water and tall trees and other things that might attract thunder.
Why is the average temperature at the earth's eqautor higher then the temperature at the earth's poles?
Because at the equator, radiation from the sun strikes the earth head on. So if the sun had a heating effect of 1W/m3 (not accurate), every square metre on the equator would get 1W. However, at the poles of the earth, sunlight strikes at an angle. As a result, the 1W of heat would be spread over a larger area. As a result, the poles receive less heat energy and are colder than the equator.
T or F The tropics are hotter than the poles because the sun strikes this area of earth more indirectly?
That depends on which area you mean when you say "this area of Earth".The sun strikes the Tropics more directly than the poles, and each poledoesn't see the sun at all during six months of the year. That's whythe polar regions are colder than the Tropics.
What happens when a fly ball hits the Foul pole?
It is a foul ball and runners return to the base they occupied at the time of the pitch. If the batter has less than two strikes, it is a strike. If the batter has two strikes, it remains two strikes, unless the batter was bunting, in which case the batter is out.
Why doesn't electricity travel down metal utility poles?
The wires that carry electricity are not in contact with the poles, isolated by insulated "bell" spacers and by physical separation. The poles are conductive, as evidenced by lightning hitting them. But they are well grounded and sturdy enough to withstand the strikes. However, a bolt can create inductance that temporarily affects the current flowing through the wires.
Do heavy thunderstorms cause powercuts?
Heavy thunderstorms, especially lightning strikes on electrical installations, often cause powercuts, bringing down cables, and poles, and tripping the system.
How does the suns energy affect air at the equator and the North Pole differently?
Sunlight strikes the equator directly, and over a shorter distance through the earth's atmosphere, so retains more heat. At the poles, the sunlight strikes at an angle, and the light travels further through the atmosphere, so being much cooler.

Why are the coldest climates on Earth found at the North and South Pole?
The North and South Poles have the coldest climates on earth because light strikes them obliquely (at an angle) and only for a part of the year. Low sun angles make for less heating, and when there is no sun, it gets cold. That's why the poles of the earth have the coldest climates.
