Because they are furthest from the sun and the angle at which the sun's rays hit the polar regions is much shallower than at other regions.
Because they are furthest from the sun and the angle at which the sun's rays hit the polar regions is much shallower than at other regions.
The polar climate zone is located between about 67°N latitude and the North Pole-this latitude zone receives less sunlight than the other two latitude zones.
No it is not - Penguins, Polar bears, seals, etc. survive in colder temperatures than that.
The Antarctic regions are about 30 degrees F. colder than the Arctic regions, because of the Antarctic continent, the land mass that makes up about 10% of the earth's surface.This land mass and the ice that sits on top of it retains the cold better than the Arctic seas, which can warm, because the sun melts the ice and then warms the water.The Antarctic, on average.
18 is colder than 9.6

The sunlight comes in contact with the equator more directly than it does at the polar zones where the sunlight is spread out.
the subarctic is colder than the tundra
The polar climate zone is located between about 67°N latitude and the North Pole-this latitude zone receives less sunlight than the other two latitude zones.
Colder than every state in the US
Yes, it isAnother AnswerAntarctica is a land mass, which holds the cold, unlike the the northern polar region, which is water covered by sea ice. Antarctica is about 30 degrees F colder than the northern polar climes.
Temperate and polar zones are cooler than subtropical
There are five recognized climate zones: tropical, dry, temperature, cold, and polar. North America, South America, and Asia boast all these zones.
Because the antarctic region is colder than the arctic and the Polar bear won't get the warmth it needs.
They are colder and darker than the other areas
Antarctica is polar; Texas is closer to the equator. It's all in location, location, location.
