What else can I help you with?
Does the sun rotate faster than the equator?
Yes, the sun rotates faster at its equator than at higher latitudes. This is known as differential rotation, where different parts of the sun rotate at different speeds. It takes about 25 days for the sun to complete one rotation near its equator, while it takes longer at higher latitudes.
How slow does the sun spin?
The sun rotates on its axis once about every 25 days at its equator, but it rotates more slowly near its poles.
Why do poles receive less solar energy then the equator does?
The poles receive less solar energy then the equator does because the radiation from the sun has to pass through much more atmosphere to reach the poles than to reach the equator. During that transit, more of the energy is scattered on the path to the poles, and less reaches the ground there.
How long does it take for the sun to rotate near its equator?
About 27 days Since the sun is not solid, it rotates at different rates at different latitudes. One rotation takes 36 days at the poles but only 25 days at the equator.
Why do the poles receive less solar energy than the equators do?
It is because the North and South Poles don't point right at the Sun, as the Equator does, being on the top of the Earth the poles cannot get the direct rays from the Sun. But, the Equator can because it is always pointing towards the Sun, thus, getting more solar energy. Hope this helped.
What if the earth revolved around the sun not tilted on its axis?
it Will be warm on the countries near the equator and near poles are cold
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.
Why do areas closer to the equator have warmer air than areas farther away?
the sun's radiation is concentrated in smaller area near the equator
How long does it take for the sun to rotate once?
At the equator: 25 days. Near the poles: 34 days.
Does the sun rotate faster than the equator?
Yes, the sun rotates faster at its equator than at higher latitudes. This is known as differential rotation, where different parts of the sun rotate at different speeds. It takes about 25 days for the sun to complete one rotation near its equator, while it takes longer at higher latitudes.
Is Cancun near the equator or one of the poles?
It is nearer to the equator.
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 name is the land near the equator?
Poles
Where the sun's rays strike earth most directly and least directly?
Directly is near the equator. Least directly is 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.
Is the magnetic field of earth stronger near the equator of near the south pole?
The magnetic field is stronger at the poles.
In noon near the equator the Sun is?
In noon near the equator, the sun is high in the sky.
