Would you receive less solar radiation if you moved from the equator toward the north pole?

Yes. You would also have exactly the same experience
if you moved toward the south pole instead.

How will the hours of daylight for the North Pole change if the earths axis was always pointed toward the sun South Pole Equator your latitude?
If one end the Earth's axis always pointed toward the sun, then one pole would ALWAYS be in daylight, and the other pole would NEVER see daylight. Which is which would depend on which end of the axis pointed toward the sun. The Earth's "poles" are the ends of its axis of rotation. It's not possible for either end of the axis to point toward the equator or toward my latitude.
Which part of the earth has less heat?
The earth is hotter at its core and cooler as we look farther out. As regards the surface of the planet, it is warmer at the equator, and cooler toward and at the poles. There will be some slight variation owing to seasonal changes, but that is the basic answer.
How would you define a desert that lies on the equator?
A desert on the equator would be an anomaly as there are no deserts on the equator.
Is it possible for typhoon to cross the equator and continue as typhoon or does the equator change the effect of the storm?
A tropical cyclone, (i.e. a hurricane or typhoon) could not cross the equator. All cyclones depend on the Coriolis force in order to spin. The Coriolis force is greatest at the poles and nonexistent at the equator. A tropical cyclone that approaches the equator would likely degenerate into a disorganized cluster of thunderstorms. Such an event would be unusual in any case as the general wind pattern tends to steer tropical cyclones away from the equator rather than toward it.
The path of a plane flying due North from a spot on an equator would appear to fly which way?
It would appear to fly east based on the Coriolis effect.
How much radiation would a passenger receive in a 7 hour airplane flight?
Radiation? You don't get radiation flying!
If earth did not rotate how would air at the equator move?
The air moves in a circular motion making a swirl around the equator. by: Unknown assasin
Where would you be if stars appear to be moving downward toward the horizon?
If you mean straight down, you would be near the equator.
How much radiation would you receive from 2000 hours next to a UFO?
NONE
Why does earth receive a different amount of radiation?
If you mean radiation as in sunlight, then the axis tilting from season to season would probably explain that.
Why is the average temperature at the earth's eqautor higher then the temperature at the earth's poles?
Because at the equator, radiation from the sun strikes the earth head on. So if the sun had a heating effect of 1W/m3 (not accurate), every square metre on the equator would get 1W. However, at the poles of the earth, sunlight strikes at an angle. As a result, the 1W of heat would be spread over a larger area. As a result, the poles receive less heat energy and are colder than the equator.

Where can one receive radiation treatment?
Radiation treatment is a treatment to treat people with various different forms of cancer that uses high energy ray to destroy or slow down the growth of cancer cells and as you would expect the place to receive radiation treatment would be under the care of health care professional in a dedicated oncology ward or hospital
If the Earth's axial tilt was 10 degrees then the poles would receive less solar radiation?
The polar regions will receive less radiation. The amount of solar radiation that impacts a particular area of the Earth is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the normal of the surface area and the incoming "ray" of radiation. So if the axial tilt was 0 then the angle of the solar radiation would be 90 degrees, the cosine of 90 is 0. At 10 degree tilt there will be an increase of ice, snow and glaciation due less solar radiation in summer.

The sun's radiation hits the Earth most directly at the?
If we are talking about solar heating it warms mostly the equator. If we are talking about actual radiation we are least protected from it at the North and South pole. So even though the radiation itself may not be directed at the poles that is where a person would experience it the most.
How would you define a desert that lies on the equator?
A desert on the equator would be an anomaly as there are no deserts on the equator.
