Why do the poles equator heat differently?
The equator is closer to the Sun.The sunlight falls directly through the atmosphere and onto the Earth's surface, and is warmer.At the poles the sunlight is on a slant and has further to travel so cools down faster.
What parts of the earth are the coolest and why?
The poles are coldest because they get the most indirect sunlight.
Why is latitude a major influence on the climate of a region?
Latitude has a major influence on the climate of a region because the higher the latitude is, the closer to the poles you are getting and less sunlight gets to the poles compared to the equator which always has direct sunlight due to the location of the sun. Because the equator receives more sunlight, the climate is warmer. Because the poles receive less sunlight, the climate is colder.
What is true of Earth's poles?
Earths magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place
Why is it coldest at the North and South poles?
The north and south poles are at the very farthest extremities from the sun because the sun shines is hottest near the equater and since both poles are farthest away from the equator the temp is the lowest because they receive the most sunlight
What space probe found hydrogen in rocks on the moons poles?
Cassini
Do moons have magnetic poles?
No. No moon has strong magnetic fields that result in "poles" like Earth ... but they often do have weak magnetic fields.
Where is it the coldest?
The north and south poles because of the lack of sunlight there.
Is sunlight hitting both poles during an equinox?
Yes, during an equinox, both poles receive approximately equal amounts of sunlight due to the Earth's axial tilt and the position in its orbit.
Which of the earths poles gets more sunlight in December?
south pole
Why is are the poles always cold?
Because they get very low concentrations of sunlight.
What parts of the earth are the coolest and why?
The poles are coldest because they get the most indirect sunlight.
Why are the Arctic and Antarctic poles cold?
Not enough direct sunlight. Reflective surfaces.
What area of the earth receives more indirect sunlight?
north and south poles
