What is the effect of the sun equator receiving more of the suns energy?
1. The equator receives more of the Sun's energy. b. air near the equator is warmer.
Why do the poles receive more solar energy then the equator does?
They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
Does Uranus give off more energy than it receives from the Sun?
No. It receives more energy than it gives off. That is one of the reasons it is referred to as an "Ice Giant", along with Neptune.
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.
What planet radiates more energy from space than it receives from the sun?
It is Jupiter

Why do the poles receive more solar energy then the equator does?
They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
Why does the equator receives more of the suns energy?
The light at the equator hits the earth perpendicular to the surface to the earth. The further you are from the equator, the light comes in at an angle closer and closer to parallel. The closer to parallel the light comes in at, the more of it is reflected, so it receives less energy than the perpendicular light at the equator.
Why is Philippines hotter than Canada?
The Philippines lie closer to the equator than Canada does. Therefore - it receives more of the Sun's energy.
Why earth receives more direct energy at lower latidues thn at higher ladtidues?
The closer you are to the equator - the steeper the angle of the sun's rays (and thus more concentrated.
Why do temperatures get higher the closer you get to the equator?
The temperatures at the equator tend to be higher because the equator receives more direct sunlight.
What happens when a plant receives more light energy than it's composition point?
Plants can store the excess of energy or use it to growth.
Why is Florida warm in winter?
Because FL. is closer to the equator and receives sun at a more direct angle. Because FL. is closer to the equator and receives sun at a more direct angle.
Why it is warmer at the equator at the north pole?
The equator receives more direct light sunlight than the north pole.
Air is warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator because the equator receives more?
Air pressure
What factors influence the amount of energy that different places on earth receives from the sun?
The main factor that influences the amount of energy that different places on Earth receive from the sun is the places location. The closer it is to the equator the more sun energy it will receive.
Where is more potential energy at pole or at equator?
The potentional energy is larger at the equator thanks to the moon:s gravity.
