What applies to latitudes farther from the equator?
Latitudes farther from the equator have higher numbers. The equator is 'zero' latitude, and the poles are 90 degrees north and south.
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The equator has no poles.
Explain Will 1 kg of sugar be more at poles or at the equator?
Mass. . . . . same at the poles as it is at the equator. Weight . . . more at the poles Cost . . . . . more at the poles
Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
What is one reason why it is colder at the poles and warmer at the equator?
sun hits equator directly and not the poles
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
Air near the equator average higher temperatures than air near the poles?
c. sunlight falls in a more vertical position at the equator than near the poles.
Regardless of the diurnal or seasonal cycle insolation is always?
higher at the equator and lower at the poles.
Why are averages temperatures higher at the equator than near the poles?
The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles

Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The equator has no poles.
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.

Mass. . . . . same at the poles as it is at the equator. Weight . . . more at the poles Cost . . . . . more at the poles
How many degrees latitude is the equator from the poles?
The equator is 90 degrees of latitude from both poles.
Is the atmosphere thinner at the poles than at the equator?
yes the ozone layer is thinner at the poles then the equator
Is the climate coldest near the poles or the equator?
It is the coldest near the poles and hottest near the equator.
Is there any difference between the value of g at the equator and the poles?
it is greater at poles than equator
