The polar regions receive less energy from the Sun for four reasons :
1) the angle of the Sun's rays is almost always greater than elsewhere on Earth
2) the albedo of the surface (reflectivity) is higher because of snow and ice
3) at any given time, either the arctic or the antarctic will be in winter, with very short days
4) the poles have significant cloud cover from storms
