The angle at which the suns rays hit the earth is more nearly perpendicular, therefore more energy is delivered per unit area. Secondly the rays pass through much less atmosphere so less energy is absorbed by the atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
Why are averages temperatures higher at the equator than near the poles?
The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles
Air near the equator average higher temperatures than air near the poles?
Yes, air near the equator is typically warmer than air near the poles due to the angle at which sunlight strikes the earth. Near the equator, sunlight is more concentrated, resulting in higher temperatures. In contrast, near the poles, sunlight is spread out over a larger area, leading to cooler temperatures.
Is there more rainfall near the equator or near the poles?
Near the Equator. It doesn't rain at the poles, and snowfall is almost non-existent at the South Pole.
Is centrifugal force is more at equator than poles?
No, centrifugal force is greater at the poles than at the equator because the Earth's rotation causes a bulging effect at the equator that counteracts the centrifugal force. This is why objects weigh slightly less at the equator compared to the poles.
Why is ocean water near the equator warmer than ocean water at the poles?
The ocean receives most of its heat along the equator, where incoming solar radiation is about double that received at the poles. Hence, sea surfaces are much warmer along the equator than at the poles.
Are areas near the equator are warmed more than the areas closer to the poles?
Yes they are.
Is Cancun near the equator or one of the poles?
It is nearer to the equator.
What is warmer near the equator than near the poles?
The equator is the center of Earth. In the center of the Earth it is very hot because of all of the under ground volcanoes.
Is the sun near the equator or near the poles?
It is effectively the same distance from both.
What name is the land near the equator?
Poles
Is the magnetic field of earth stronger near the equator of near the south pole?
The magnetic field is stronger at the poles.
Where is the change in length of daytime greater near equator or near the poles?
The closer you are to the poles, the greater the change.
