What else can I help you with?
Why is the every thing near the equator hot?
Because the equator is the widest part of the earth so it is closer to the sun than the top or bottom of the earth.
Is the equator closer to the sun than any other point on Earth?
No, the equator is not closer to the sun than any other point on Earth. The distance between the Earth and the sun remains constant, so all points on Earth are at the same distance from the sun.
Why gravity is stronger at poles than along the equator.do you know why?
Since the earth is spinning ... an object on the equator is moving roughly 1,000 miles per hour ... the earth is somewhat bulged at the equator. Its diameter at the equator is a little larger than the distance between the north and south poles. For that reason, when you stand at the pole, you're a bit closer to the center of the earth than when you stand on the equator. The farther you are from the center of the earth, the lower the force of gravity between you and the earth. So the force is less at the equator and more at the poles.
Why are the lines of longitude so much closer together at the bottom portion of the map than they are at the top?
Because the earth is round and the bottom of the earth is smaller than the middle of earth such as the equator
Why are lines of longitude so much closer together at the bottom portion of the map than they are at the top?
Because the earth is round and the bottom of the earth is smaller than the middle of earth such as the equator
Why is the radius of the earth less at the poles than at the equator?
The mass of the earth is not great enough to force itself into a perfect sphere. This is because the motion of the earth rotating forces the centre to bulge outwards. As the rotation of the earth slows down, so does the bulge at the equator.
If the arctic is under the equator like Australia how is it so cold?
The arctic is NOT "under the equator." It is at the north polar region. The Antarctic is at the south polar region; the average temp in the polar regions are much colder than at the equator.
Why is no winter or summer at the equator?
Because it's in the middle of the earth and it has cold and hot weather beside, so you can't say it's hotter or colder
Why is it cold in the arctic?
IT is cold because the sunlight it receives is very indirect. This radiation has to go through a larger part of the atmosphere, so more of it is absorbed. The earth is heated by these rays, so the Arctic is unable to get very warm.
Why does the equator receives more of the suns energy?
The light at the equator hits the earth perpendicular to the surface to the earth. The further you are from the equator, the light comes in at an angle closer and closer to parallel. The closer to parallel the light comes in at, the more of it is reflected, so it receives less energy than the perpendicular light at the equator.
Why is it so cold in the Arctic?
Create a picture in your mind. Earth has a tilted axis, so there are some parts that the sun's rays doesn't reach, and some parts that the rays are more intense than others. The Equator is a place where the rays are more intense, warming it up and making it hotter than the rest of the earth. The poles, or the Arctic and Antarctica, aren't reached by the rays as much, so they're quite cold. Because it doesn't get much direct sunlight.
Why are the lines of longitude so much closer together at the bottom portion of the map they are at the top?
Because the earth is round and the bottom of the earth is smaller than the middle of earth such as the equator
