What region on the earth near the equator receives the most solar energy?
The Atacama desert is on the equator and is above most clouds rain forests and jungles receive little sunlight mountains have few clouds moisture and pollution obscure sunlight
What effect does solar radiation have on climate when comparing the equator to polar regions?
Equator has a lower angular deflection of sunlight and therefore warmer temperatures
How is the equator related to the amount of sunlight a climate zone receives?
because it is 0 degrees
Why are polar regions cooler than the equator?
Answer:sunlight strikes the poles at an oblique angle. From the polar regions, the sun is low in the sky, so that the sunlight hits the earth at a low angle, as it does for us in the morning and evening. This low angle means that the sunlight is more spread out, and thus warms the surface less. The polar regions of earth are not cooler because they are farther away from the equator, and they are not cooler because they are farther from the sun. The poles are only about 3000 km farther from the sun than is the equator at noon. This is about 0.002% of the earth-sun distance -- hardly significant.
Why do latitudes closer to the equator have warmer climates?
Latitudes closer to the Equator have warmer climates because they receive direct sunlight and therefore, the latitudes get evidently heated. :)
What area would get the most hours of sunlight?
the Equator
What makes the equator hot?
The sun makes the equator hot.
When does the equator get most of its sunlight?
During the daytime, on clear days.
Which location on Earth receives the most direct sunlight?
how big is Earth
Do you get more or less direct sunlight at the equator?
you get more direct sunlight at the equator
What line of latitude is the warmest place on earth?
around the equator it is the area in which sunlight touches the most (light = energy = warmth)
what region of earth gets the most radiant energy?
The equator gets the most radiant sunlight on Earth.
What region on the earth near the equator receives the most solar energy?
The Atacama desert is on the equator and is above most clouds rain forests and jungles receive little sunlight mountains have few clouds moisture and pollution obscure sunlight
Why are the countries lying along or near the equator have tropical or hot climate?
The equator is an imaginary line showing the part of the world where sunlight hits most intensely. Any area near the equator receives more intense sunlight, causing the climate to be hotter.
Which plant receives the most sunlight?
Those plants nearest the equator will receive the most sunlight - plants which are able to grow the tallest and be free from the shade of other plants.
Does the equator give off heat?
The equator itself does not give off heat. However, because the equator receives more direct sunlight than other parts of the Earth, it tends to be warmer due to the sun's energy.
Where would a rainforest most likely be found?
it would most likely be found in The Equator, due to the warm temperatures that the sun sends to earth The Earth is separate in hemisphere and the Equator receives the most sunlight
