Why do temperatures gradually become cooler as you go to ward the poles?
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.
What is the main reason some places on the earth are warmer then other?
The rays of the Sun are more direct in some places and more slanted in others.
Do places that receive year long heavy rain have thin top soil?
yes
Why do the poles experience the coldest temperatures on earth?
Because When You Think About Them On In Side There's The North Pole On The Top Its The South Pole So When You Really Think Of It There On Opposite Side So Thats Why
Why do some parts of the earth receive more rain than others?
places are closer to the eqater and dont get as much rain:)
Not all places on the earth receive the same amount of direct sunlight because of?
the tilt of the earths axis
What marks the boundaries of the places on Earth that receive direct sunlight?
It's called "the Terminator".
Are all places among the equator very warm and why?
Because of the Earth's positioning and tilt on its axis, the places on equator receive much sunlight, hence hotter, although not longest amount of time with sunlight.
What is the amount of sunlight in freshwater biomes?
The amount of sunlight that can be found in a freshwater biome varies. Some of these biomes receive more sunlight than others.
Why do the north and south poles stay cool all year round?
These places receive the least direct sunlight out of all the places of the Earth.
Are the places on earth that receive the most direct sun the warmest?
Yes, that's exactly how it works. The more direct the angle of the sunlight (which is to say, the closer that angle is to being perpendicular to the surface) the more warmth will result.
Are all places along the equater warm Why or why not?
cause it gets direct sunlight
Where are the best places to use solar panels?
on hills exposed to direct sunlight.
What are warm places?
Places the are always warm are the ones near or on the equator due to the fact that this region gets the most direct sunlight.
What places are always warm?
Places the are always warm are the ones near or on the equator due to the fact that this region gets the most direct sunlight.
What factors influence the amount of energy that different places on earth receives from the sun?
The main factor that influences the amount of energy that different places on Earth receive from the sun is the places location. The closer it is to the equator the more sun energy it will receive.
Why does sunlight not fall equally in all cities?
All areas of the Earth receive the same amount of sunlight over the course of a full year. However, the cities at latitudes nearer to poles receive less energy because of the shallower angle of the rays. The effect of the solar radiation is also less for places with greater cloud cover, especially summer cloud cover.
