Why is the temperature at the equatorwarmer than the temperature at the poles?

In Equator Sunlight falls perpendicularly, while at poles it falls at a steep angle, thus decreasing in intensity
An easy way to understand this is as follows :
In the morning, the sunlight falls at a steep angle. Thats because that place is curved away from the sun. So mornings are cooler and darker. As the day progresses the angle becomes more perpendicular and it gets brighter and warmer.
At the poles the entire day is like a morning. The Sun never got a chance !

The difference in temperature between the equator and poles?
It is more COLDER in the POLES and it is more WARMER by the EQUATOR.So therefore the temperature by the equator is warmer and the temperature by the poles is much colder.
Air temperature depends mostly on the angle of what?
Air temperature depends mostly on the angle of the sun. This is why it is hotter at the equator than at the north or south poles.
How is ozone affected by the poles?
The ozone is depleted at the poles only. It is because of the low temperature there.
What dohow latitude affect the temperatures at the poles?
In polar climates, No month has an average temperature higher than 10"c
What happens to the temperature as you get closer to the poles?
They Meet
Where is the ozone thinnest?
Over the poles, the ozone layer is found to be the thinnest because of the high depletion rate at the poles. This depletion id due to the CFC's carried by the Westerly Winds towards the poles which are further initiated by the low temperature at the Extremes of earth.
What is happening to the ozone layers in the poles?
The ozone layer at poles is depleting. It is because of cold degrees of temperature there.
Why holes in ozone layer are formed only above the poles and not in other areas?
Holes are formed only over poles because of temperature. It requires cold temperature.
Where are ozone layer got depleted?
The ozone depletion is mostly over poles. It is due to the low temperature at the poles.
The area around the equator is usually hot What happens to the temperature at the poles?
the temperature at the poles are cold due to albedo which is that light substances reflect heat back into the atmosphere
What is the North Poles average temperature in summer and winter?
100f
What are the temperature and pressure condition of the surface air at the poles?
Booty
