The amount of heat energy received at any location on the globe is a direct effect of sun angle on climate as the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth varies by location, time of day, and season due to the Earth's orbit around the sun and the Earth's rotation around its tilted axis. Seasonal change in the angle of sunlight, caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis, is the basic mechanism that results in warmer weather in summer than in winter. Change in day length is another factor.
Places near the equator get more insolation, or concentrated sunlight, causing those places to be warmer. As the poles are at the far ends of the globe, they do not get very much direct sunlight: the sun is not emitting heat and light directly towards them.
This answer was written by a 13 year old, just saying.
Insolation refers to the incoming solar radiations intercepted by the Earth. The amount of sunlight received by the regions close to the Equator is greater than the amount of sunlight received by the regions close to the Poles. This is because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. As a result of this tilt, the incoming solar radiations cover a greater area at the Equator than at the Poles.Between 23.5 degrees North and 23.5 degrees South lies the TORRID ZONE that receives the maximum sunlight and decreases towards the poles.Also,the sun rays are straight at the equator and slanting at the poles.
The Earth rotates on its axis, and that axis is not perpendicular to the Earth's orbit around the sun, it is tilted to the plane of the ecliptic by 23 and a half degrees. As a result, some parts of the Earth are partially pointed toward the sun and some parts are partially pointed away from the sun, depending upon where the Earth is in its orbit. The equator faces the sun more directly, more of the time, than any other part of the Earth, and as you travel toward either pole, there is an increasing incidence of pointing (partially) away from the sun. When part of the Earth is tilted away from the sun, it gets less sunlight (in the most extreme polar case, no sunlight for months) and therefore less warmth from the sun.
as one moves toward higher latitudes, sunlight strikes earth from an angle closer to the horizon:)
The equator has more direct sunlight than areas away from the equator at a higher latitude
as the sun does not emit a lot of heat energy at the top or bottom mainly it emits heat energy in the middle or the equator.
temperatures decreasefrom the tropics toward the poles.
Those of elevated altitude and the poles.
The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles
ocean currents
Yes.
Temperatures gradually become cooler as you go toward the poles because they don't get enough sunlight to warm up, so they stay cold.
The temperatures at the equator tend to be warm to hot (except where there are mountains); the temperatures at the poles tend to be below freezing.
temperatures decreasefrom the tropics toward the poles.

Those of elevated altitude and the poles.
Because the earth sits on its axle (side or it's tilted) the poles don't get much sun so the temperatures are lower.
the sun is at a different angle and affects that part of the earth in a different way. this will change throughout the world around the year
The ozone hole is near the poles. It is because of the low temperatures there.
because mountains are closer to the poles
Warm currents bring warm temperatures to the poles, and cold currents bring cold temperatures to the equator to become warm again. Once warm, they return to the poles again. This process repeats in some currents forever. Most currents are circular.
It is because ozone depletion requires low temperatures. These temperatures can be found out at poles.
because they are different parts of the earths hemispheres.
