-- Just like each planet, and probably every star, the sun is spinning.
-- Every point on the surface moves in a circle, and the center of every
circle is inside the sun.
-- All of those points together make a line inside the sun ... the line that
the whole sun spins around.
-- The points where the ends of that line stick through the surface are
the poles of rotation.
Even easier:
-- Take a big apple.
-- Stick a sharp pencil through the whole apple and right through its center,
so that you can grab the ends of the pencil and spin the apple.
-- The two places where the pencil sticks through the apple skin are the
poles of the spinning.
What else can I help you with?
In regions closer to the poles the sun?
The sun's rays will strike land closer to both poles at a shallow angle, and lose much of its heat.
Where does the rays of the sun strike earth least directly?
at the poles
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.
Is the sun near the equator or near the poles?
It is effectively the same distance from both.
What is the probe that was launched in 1990 to study the sun's poles?
The Ulysses probe was launched in 1990 to study the sun's poles. It provided valuable data on the sun's magnetic field, solar winds, and other phenomena at high solar latitudes that are difficult to observe from Earth.
Why are the poles colder?
They are not as near the sun.
Does the sun have magnetic poles?
Yes.
Where does the sun stay up the longest?
Because the poles tilt towards the sun in summer the North and South Poles have six months when the sun is visible day and night.
In regions closer to the poles the sun?
The sun's rays will strike land closer to both poles at a shallow angle, and lose much of its heat.
Is the sun less direct in the north poles or in the south poles?
In the north pole becuase of the angle that the earth is
Where does the ray of the sun strike least directly?
at the poles
Does magnetic compass work on the sun?
No, the sun does not have an iron core to generate magnetic poles
Why are the sunrays never vertical on the poles?
Because the poles are at no point directed straght towards the sun, its due to the Earth being upright (with a small tilt) as it circles the sun. The sun will never be directly overhead outside the tropics.
Where does the rays of the sun strike earth least directly?
at the poles
Where does The rays of the sun strike earth the least directly?
at the poles
What happens to the poles both north and southif they are tilted away from the sun?
When the poles tilt away from the sun the receive low amounts of light. This means that they often have completely dark days.
Which planet sometimes has its poles pointed almost directly at the Sun?
Uranus is the planet that sometimes has its poles pointed almost directly at the Sun due to its extreme axial tilt of 98 degrees. This results in unusual and extreme seasonal variations on the planet.
