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.

Which region would have a warmer climate - a place located near the equator or a place near the North Pole?
A place located near the equator would have a warmer climate compared to a place near the North Pole. The equator receives more direct sunlight year-round, resulting in higher temperatures, while the North Pole receives less sunlight and is typically covered in ice.
Why is it warmer on the equator than it is 1000 miles north of the equator?
It is warmer near the equator because the sun is pointing directley at the "area" and the Equator is closer towards the center of the Earth. If the Equator were on the North Pole it would not be the same temperature.
Why it is warmer at the equator at the north pole?
The equator receives more direct light sunlight than the north pole.
Why is the climate near the equator warmer than the other places?
The climate near the equator is warmer than most other places because the sun is closest to the equator.
Why is the climate near the equator warmer than other places?
The climate near the equator is warmer than most other places because the sun is closest to the equator.
How does a climate in an area near the north pole differ from a climate in an area bear the equator?
it differs because the sun shines near the equator than the north pole
Why do currents flow faster at the equator than at the polls?
Because the water is warmer at the equator than at the pole. The warmer ocean water is the faster the currents move and the colder the water is the slow the currents move.
Do temps get colder or warmer near the equator?
temperatures get warmer as you get near the equator due to the closer the equator is to the sun than the poles. Usually as you get to the equator the weather becomes more tropical and humid but it is still warm.
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.
Why does the ocean water near the north pole absorb less heat throughout the year than ocean water near the equator?
Because near the north pole there are glaciers and icebergs. They reflect the suns rays, while near the equator, there are no glaciers.
Is the south pole colder than the equator?
Yes. The cold climate at the south pole is the result of the vast amount of ice near it, and the fact that it is located in the middle of Antarctica, which is well known to be a very cold place. In contrast, the equator is a line that was intentionally drawn through some of the hottest places on earth, in a shameless attempt to attract tourist dollars.
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.
