How does solar radiation strike the earth at the polar regions?
In the polar regions, solar radiation strikes the Earth at a much lower angle compared to the equator, resulting in a more diffuse distribution of sunlight. This oblique angle causes the energy to be spread over a larger area, reducing its intensity and resulting in cooler temperatures. Additionally, during winter months, polar regions can experience prolonged periods of darkness, limiting solar energy absorption. Consequently, these factors contribute to the unique climatic conditions prevalent in polar areas.
What is polar satelite?
Which are usually launched in polar orbite and these polar orbit lie around north and south poles of earth and their angle with equitorial plane is 90'
Why is much of the sun's radiation reflected back in to space by earth?
Such reflection is called the albedo. For the earth it is 30 - 35%
Where is most of the solid water on earth?
glaciers and polar ice caps
Is the Earth's equatorial circumference the same as the polar circumference?
No. The polar circumference of the Earth is smaller than the equatorial circumference by about 41 miles or about 67 km. The Earth is a slightly "oblate spheroid" meaning it is slightly flattened (0.336%) at the poles, and bulging at the equator, due to its spin. The equatorial circumference of the Earth is about 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles). The polar circumference of the Earth is about 40,008 kilometers (24,860 miles). See related questions and links for additional details.
Which places on the earth experience whole night?
Locations within the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle can experience periods of whole night, known as polar night. This phenomenon occurs when the sun remains below the horizon for 24 hours due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Do polar bears and penguins live together?
No, they live at opposite ends of the earth. Polar bears live in the Arctic (north) and penguins live in the Antarctic and other places only in the Southern Hemisphere.
Which place not occurce snake in earth?
There are very few places on earth not inhabited by snakes. These include some islands, the country of Ireland and the polar regions.
What two places on Earth do not have a 24 hour cycle of day and night?
The polar areas during the solstice periods.
Very long days or nights occur at the?
Near the polar regions.
Where on earth are the seasonal variations if temperature and day length greatest?
The seasonal variations in temperature and day length are greatest at higher latitudes, particularly near the poles. Areas within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles experience extreme changes, with polar days in summer when the sun doesn't set and polar nights in winter when the sun doesn't rise. Additionally, regions like Scandinavia and northern Canada experience significant temperature fluctuations throughout the year due to their distance from the equator.
Which zone includes the climate in the northern and southernmost areas of the earth?
The polar zone includes the climate in the northern and southernmost areas of the Earth. These regions experience extremely cold temperatures and are characterized by long winters and short summers. The polar zones are located around the North and South Poles.
Which places in the world experience long periods of darkness?
Places within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles experience long periods of darkness during the winter months, a phenomenon known as polar night. Locations such as Barrow (Utqiaġvik), Alaska, and Svalbard, Norway, can go for several weeks without seeing the sun. Conversely, during the summer, these regions experience continuous daylight, known as the midnight sun. This extreme variation in sunlight is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Is the Mojave Desert a polar desert?
no polar is Antarctica and cold places
Where are the earth's polar areas?
The earth's polar areas are at ARCTIC to the north and ANTARCTIC to the south of the equator.
Where does maritime polar forms?
maritime polar form in cold/dry places.
What polar zones are also called?
Earth's polar zones are also called the Earth's Frigid Zones.
