How does a location's latitude affect the amount of radiant energy it receives?
From 0 degrees or the latitude of the equator, it is in line to receive the most direct rays of the sun, the higher up in latitude you go, less heat is given off, because there is a lower amount of direct sunlight entering the atmosphere.The higher the latitude the colder is gets.
Caused by the uneven heating of earth and its atmosphere?
Pole. (The north and south poles. They get less heat than the equator because the sun's rays hit the equator more directly where they hit the poles at an angle and have to be spread over a larger area.)
Is amount of rainfall less in the lower latitudinal regions?
No!!! Amount of rainfall is not less in the lower latitudinal regions. Polar regions receive less heat so the process of evaporation is very slow there. As a result, it receives less rainfall. Thus,the regions having higher latitudes receives less rainfall.
How lapdog affect climate?
LATITUDELatitude has a major effect on climate due to the fact that one of the major latitude lines is the equator. And because of how the the sun's rays have different angles (going diagonal) , the distance to travel from the sun to the equator is actually quicker than any other angle and the heat is practically more intact because in any other angle the sun's rays have longer to travel and the heat starts to be not quite as hot as in the start of the journey. Another reason is because when you have a ray going in a different angle the heat has more land to cover before re-transmitting back to space. The rays that are pretty straight and horizontal, have less space to cover because they are Direct Sun Rays. Low Latitudes are the degrees closer to the equator for e.g. 30N is quite hot. High Latitudes are colder and far from the equator such as 570S. The areas around the equator are known as Equatorial Regions. All around the world, except the equator, seasons are quite distinct such as in summer there is high sun, long days and in winter there is low sun and short days. In the equatorial regions the seasons are not quite obvious. The more distance from the equator, the more distinct the seasons become. It might come as a surprise, but the equator is not exactly the hottest place on the earth due to it's high cloud cover. During the night, the clouds reduce the amount of heat escaping. The highest temperature is actually near the Tropics where the atmosphere is not as cloudy.ALTITUDE
Why are countries near equator hot during day and cold during night?
It could depend on the winds and the moisture in the air. Also to take into account, the equator is the closest latitude to the sun in the daytime in any equinox and almost as close during a solstice, but not so close at night. Every moment the sun is heating the equator at longitude somewhere, on the opposite longitude is the equator clear on the other side of the globe away from the sun. Much as the sun heats the equator in the day, the land and air are more dry and less clouds form. Deserts are thus very common around the equator. With less cloud cover, the heat escapes the atmosphere more easily. Those are the likely contributing factors in the temperature highs and lows at the equator. The equator's two coldest hours are probably around 2:00 to 4:00 AM. I'm quite sure it is owed to the atmosphere (winds and air moisture) that heat lingers, preventing the equator from freezing up at those hours. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn probably do not have nights as cold as the equator, theoretically. But also, bear in mind that rainforests have a better equilibrium and that deserts generally have more extreme day heat and colder nights too. The tropic pattern can be subverted by its deserts, and the equator's pattern can be subverted by its rainforests.
Does a liquid become a solid when there is more heat or less heat?
less heat
Why less heat is falls on poles?
because the equator gets the most
Which part of the earth less heat why?
The farther from the equator, the weaker the sunlight gets.
Which part of the earth receive less heat why?
The farther from the equator, the weaker the sunlight gets.
Why does the weight of an object change when it is moved from the equator to the poles?
Because of centripetal acceleration you will weigh a tiny amount less at the equator than at the poles.
Why is the most heat is in the equator?
Because the sun's rays strike the earth at the sharpest angle, concentrating the heat more. The further away from the equator you go, the shallower the angle - making the energy cover a wider area, meaning the energy is less concentrated.
Why does your location on Earth make a difference in how much heat you get from the sun?
Because if you are on the equator the heat you are getting from the sun is concentrated, whereas if you are further away from the equator the suns rays have to cover more area therefor there is in a way, less for you. E.g Kenya is on the equator so it is warmer than lets say Greenland, which is far away.
Does the circumference decrease as the temperature increases?
It is actually the opposite. When the circumference is greater, you are closer to the equator therefore you are getting more heat. When you circumference decreases, you are closer to the poles and have less heat.
If there is less water will it get hotter quicker?
Yes, if the same amount of heat is applied.
Why does the distance from the equator usually affect the climate of a place?
the farther a place is from the equator, the less directly the sun hits it, because the earth's axis is tilted. this varying amount of sunlight affects the climate.

Does a candle become less viscous with heat?
No, if the fuel remains the same (the wax) the flame and heat will remain the same.
