Daily solar radiation values are high at the poles during summer due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, which causes the sun to remain above the horizon for extended periods in these regions. This phenomenon, known as the Midnight Sun, results in continuous daylight for weeks or even months, allowing solar radiation to accumulate. Additionally, the sun's rays strike the surface at a more direct angle during this time, further increasing the intensity of solar radiation received.

How does the moon affect summer?
the moon affects the season summer cause the south and north poles are constly moving
Where is the sun's incoming solar radiation the strongest?
The strongest is in the tropics, where the sunlight is nearly perpendicular to the surface and about the same duration year-round.
Why do the poles receive less solar energy from the sun?
The poles recieve less solar energy because they are farther from the equator than other places. The equator is the warmest place, it's where the sun gives off its most solar energy. If you have been to the Carribian you notice how it's hot and summer-like. Places by the equator don't really have seasons. Just summer weather. The poles, on the other hand, are far away from the equator, and the sun.
What causes the northen lights?
The 'Northern Lights' (also known as the 'Aurora Borealis') is caused by the interaction of solar radiation with molecules in the Earth's atmosphere. Much of the Sun's radiation is deflected by the Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic field can be imagined as lines of force coming out of the Earth at the poles and running around the globe, almost parallel to the surface. The effect is most noticeable at the poles (there is also a 'Southern Lights, the 'Aurora Australis') because (some of) the radiation is deflected by the magnetic field towards the surface of the earth at the 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.
What are winter and summer like at the poles?
Cold.
What kind of wind blows toward the poles?
summer
What are names of the seasons at the North and South poles?
The seasons at the poles are spring, summer, fall and winter. Because the poles are in different hemispheres, the seasons are opposite. The dates that the seasons change is the same at both poles. For example, when it is winter at the South Pole, it's summer at the North Pole.
What is the North Poles average temperature in summer and winter?
100f
Why is the reflection of radiation greatest at the poles?
The reflection of radiation is greatest at the poles because the incoming sunlight strikes the Earth's surface at a low angle, causing more of it to bounce off rather than be absorbed. Additionally, the white ice and snow present at the poles act as highly reflective surfaces, further increasing the amount of radiation that is reflected back into space.
Are the greatest daily changes in the poles?
Not necessarily. The poles experience minimal daily temperature changes due to their location. Areas closer to the equator experience greater daily temperature fluctuations due to the angle of sunlight and climate conditions.
How many hours of sunlight do you get in the southpole during summer?
all of them... The sun never sets during summer at the poles.
How does the moon affect summer?
the moon affects the season summer cause the south and north poles are constly moving
If the Earth's axial tilt was 10 degrees then the poles would receive less solar radiation?
The polar regions will receive less radiation. The amount of solar radiation that impacts a particular area of the Earth is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the normal of the surface area and the incoming "ray" of radiation. So if the axial tilt was 0 then the angle of the solar radiation would be 90 degrees, the cosine of 90 is 0. At 10 degree tilt there will be an increase of ice, snow and glaciation due less solar radiation in summer.
Why is it cold at the poles?
The answer to this question involves the angle at which solar radiation is intercepted by the earth's atmosphere. The rule is that if solar radiation is incident perpendicular to the atmosphere the solar radiation that is incident on the earth's surface will be greatest. Incoming solar radiation at the poles comes in at a sharper angle and is spread over a greater surface area of atmosphere than at the equator. In this way, the poles have more of an atmospheric filter and experience less radiation per area time and hence have lower average temperatures.
How ozone layer recover in summer in south poles?
Ozone layer forms in summer. therefore it initiates its recovery at that time.
Is there a place on earth where the sun wont set?
When it's summer in the poles it doesn't set until the end of the summer, but otherwise no.
