Which latitude receives the least-direct radiation from the sun?

Answer 1

The north and south poles receive the least direct solar radiation. Their latitudes are

90 degrees north and south, respectively.

======================================

determine which of the 50 states defines the farthest extent of the united states in

each of the 4 map directions.

-- The point of the USA that's farthest south is in Hawaii.

-- The points of the USA that are farthest north, east, and west are all in Alaska.

(The points farthest east and west are on the coasts of two islands in the Aleutian

chain that face each other across the 180 meridian. In the east/west direction, they're

separated by about 45 miles.)

Answer 2

All places on Earth recieve virtually the same amount of sunlight in a calender year.

The poles are colder because they do not recieve direct sunlight. But as far as the length of time that you can see the sun, It equals itself out over a year.

Places closer to the equator recieve virtually the same amount of sunlight every day of the year. But the closer you get to the poles, the more drastic the change is between summer and winter.

Near the poles in the winter, you will not see the sun at all for the whole day. But in the summer you will have 24 hrs sunlight. So you see how it will all equal out by the end of the year.
